We have a friend that’s an #immigration attorney in #LA and she’s losing her shit. Her work with clients is being used to kidnap them. They’re grabbed if they appear for a hearing, regardless of the judge’s ruling. And even if with her help they were adjudicated to live and work in the US decades ago, the record of that fact is used by ICE to kidnap them. So her phone is ringing off the hook *and* all the tear-gassing and gunplay and kidnapping is occurring at her place of work.
For quick reference, we've created a handy guide designed to be printed, folded, and carried in your pocket (PDF download). Now, more than ever, citizens must be able to hold those in power accountable and inspire others through the act of protest. Protecting your electronic devices and digital assets before, during,...

WHITE PEOPLE need to show up om saturday, to one of the many NO KINGS protests.
MAPS HERE. Theres HUNDREDS OR A THOUSAND events in the US.
We (in LA) are thinking that the big downtown one will be well attended; we're gonna pick a smaller one, so that small doesn't become tiny.
You don't have to "do anything", just show up. Just stand on the corner. Support and numbers matters, and WHITE FACES need to be present.
Last saturday white folks downtown LA were a minority. This is shameful. White folks are the least likely to be hassled.
The front lines of protest, where you see all the stupid photos, is a tiny fraction of the event. The main body is calm, fun, people standing around talking, with dogs and kids. But no one photos that, since there's no juice in it.
SHOW UP! Just show up. Stop making excuses.
🔥🇺🇸🔥 WHAT TO KNOW! 🔥🇺🇸🔥
Get yourself ready for this Saturday's NO KINGS RALLY, in over 1,800 cities across America! And, please share this training video far and wide. "10 Must-Know Tips for NO KINGS DAY"
Expect to have a fun and democratically uplifting time, if you haven't marched or rallied before.
