SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
If you turn on your TV today, turn it to ANY OTHER STATION except those showing the inauguration. Let's make sure the ratings for his unholy spectacle are tiny. 🍄 PASS IT ON.
