#immigration ban

[cemeterygrace]

reminders:

if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.

if you are larger/plus size: go online and purchase ella instead of plan b. plan b is less effective if you aren’t under 160 pounds.

if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.

mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.

if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.

if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.

if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.

your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.

did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. they were never pregnant.

in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.

we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.

I know Tiktok is getting a lot of coverage but don’t forget about Trumps plan to do mass deportations in Chicago and New york!

!!KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!!

[whereserpentswalk]

Friendly reminder that ICE still existed under Biden, that there were still countless people deported under Biden, that if the democrats had one and the same deportations that are happening now happened, you likely wouldn't have heard about it at all.

If you suddenly care about the rights of immigrants the moment that a republican is in office, you don't actually care about immigrants. Like, I'm happy more people are calling out ICE raids now, but it's upsetting knowing that the exact same people would be defending and/or ignoring them if these were happening under a different president.

Please, there is going to be a time when Trump is out of office. And ICE will likely still exist and still be deporting massive amounts of people when that happens. If you actually care about human rights, and not just hating a specific guy, you're going to have to hate ICE just as much once he's out of office.

Don't be fooled by theater

Fuck whatever Elon did, fuck everything Trump is doing

There are planned ICE raid in sanctuary cities tomorrow. Cities like Chicago, New York, Houston and Austin Texas, Detroit, Portland, cities in Florida, anywhere with a high immigrant and specifically mexican population will be effected by this.

Alert people, alert people you know may be affected (and by may be affected I mean literally anyone who is Latine, ICE does not give a fuck about your actual immigration status). Alert people who may know people who could be effected.

Sound the alarm, make sure everyone knows. Don't worry about being a bother, don't worry about upsetting them with this news. Put the active in activism and get your fucking community to safety. Don't talk to cops, always ask for a warrant, managers and staff leads for customer service don't let them into your workplace. Know your rights and keep your community safe.

Sooo tiktok is back, but since its a ploy to get gen z to try and ride trumps little small dick I aint buyin it and neither should you. Trump plans on having mass deportations starting in Chicago, Illinois and New york. He isnt a good guy and hes not on your side. Hes not there to help you, your friends, or your family. Unless you’re a rich white billionaire. Please stay informed, and stay as safe as you possibly can. Its only the start of year.

[unassumingcavegoblin]

don’t assume you’re safe.

just because you haven’t seen ice raids in your neighborhood, your town or your city, doesn’t mean they won’t come. know your rights and how to defend yourself, your family, or your community in case of a raid. look up “ice raids [your area]”.

just because abortion is still legal in your state and you haven’t heard about it for a while, that doesn’t mean it’s going to stay legal. stock up on birth control and plan b. look up “abortion [your state]”.

just because you haven’t been seeing any news about the legislation on trans people and other queer people, that doesn’t mean that it won’t affect you and your community soon enough. know you and your queer friends’ rights, and prepare to protect them however you can. look up “trans and gay persecution [your area]”.

just because you haven’t been seeing anyone talk about banned books, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try to get your hands on as many as you can while you can. look up “banned books list”.

just because you’re safe now, that doesn’t mean you’ll be safe forever. expect the unexpected. the worst is yet to come.

Be weary

While the Tik Tok ban is taking a lot of attention, it’s being used as a distraction and stunt to draw attention away from the mass deportations and raids set to happen this week.

I’m not saying the ban isn’t important, it reflects censorship and is being used by Trump to gain favor with people so he can say he brought it back. But, don’t let the ban distract you from the oppression immigrants and undocumented people go through, and that they are being heavily targeted this week. It’s common for governments to pull stunts to hide an atrocity happening. For instance, the terrible debate between Trump and Harris last year hid the fact that Gaza was being bombed and refugee camps were being invaded from the American populace. Governments love to do something to draw American attention away from what the government wants to do but knows they won’t have mass approval or don’t want attention. This is happening again with the Tik Tok ban and planned unbanning going at the same time frame as the mass deportations planned.

Trump is a very dangerous man and I am sickened that he is in office and people support him. I’m not shocked but am extremely disappointed that the country picked an incompetent hateful fascist that reflects racist rhetoric. He is destroying communities and will leave so much damage. The nation built off immigrant labor rejects the same people that built this nation (the US was built off exploited Indigenous, Black, Asian, Latin, queer, trans, disabled, women labor).

Remember: DO NOT HELP ICE!!

Remember: If you know an immigrant, NO YOU DON’T

Remember: Protect your neighbors and make sure they’re safe during this time

Remember: Legality is NOT morality

Remember: Pay attention to what the government puts in front of you, and ask yourself if something else is happening behind the scenes

Everyone always says that they would’ve fought the Nazis and help to hide the Jewish people if they were born in Nazi Germany. While what’s happening now is a different time period, take that pride that you’d do better than the Germans who allowed Nazis to get away with this, and actually do better. See humanity in immigrants and ask what they need. The government isn’t going to help you. Once they hurt everyone else, they will go after you. Speak up while you still can. Help vulnerable communities while you still can. Even reblogging is still activism by spreading awareness.

Do not let Trump get away with this.

Do any help you can.

Do what you can.

I will never fear undocumented immigrants anywhere near as much as I fear Republican law makers. And that is something that will never change.

[sweet-on-you]

I don't believe for a second that tiktok being back is a good sign.

Don't forget- starting Tuesday the Trump Administration is going to begin mass deportations in several major cities across the country. My theory is that they are bringing back tiktok as a distraction to take focus away from the raids.

If it does come back, don't let them use it against us. Keep organizing, keep informing, keep building community. It's not Us VS Them, it's Up VS Down. Never forget that.

BINGO 39 minutes into the debate.

Got this template from Twitter, an @misslynneNYC

There are lots of other bingo templates, this is just the one I saw first.

The state of America right now:

On Trump's first day in office, he has gotten rid of a website about reproductive rights. it was a government website. As someone who is biologically female, that is terrifying. That is just the start of what rights he will be taking away from me. Anyone who has voted for him is actively against what America is "supposed" to stand for.

He has also stated that he plans to make only 2 genders, male and female. This is also actively again the people—there is no home of free when he is taking away people's rights to choose. This is also completely against biology. our president doesn't know about fucking biology.

ICE ( Immigrations and Customs Department) had already begun deporting families from the country. (for people who this directly affects, here is a website about your rights to help.)

During Trump's inauguration, the most famous neo-nazi Elon Musk did the Nazi salute. Some people are trying to defend him saying it was the Roman salute, when that is a salute for fascism, so they are basically saying he did in fact do the salute, they're just okay with it.

Trump wants to override the 14th Amendment, which gives people birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment was passed after the Civil War during reconstruction. This Amendment also has the Equal Protection Clause, which was a key factor in the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court Case. They argued that segregated schools violated that clause, and they won unanimous agreement from the court. Getting rid of the 14th Amendment is deeper than just birthright citizenship. Trump is working to make America a land of free white people where men have returned to the top.

Trump is using the Tik Tok ban as a political stunt. He originally wanted it banned, and here he is trying to win over the youth.

It's all a bunch of smoke and mirrors

[mentalteen]

Not the government threatening to take away rednote too

[fandumb-thoughts]

Remember, the people deporting “criminals” are the people deciding the crimes

I have nothing positive to post today but I did want to come on here to say that everyone in America is my prayers. I’m praying for the safety of my POCs and ESPECIALLY my immigrants who I’m sure are having a rough day. It’s unfortunate that leaders feel it’s okay to not only mock a man who stood for change on his national holiday but who also felt it was appropriate to do a n*** salute on live television not once but twice. I am absolutely devastated and disgusted by this country and my heart is breaking. I pray we are able to get through this and I also pray for better days. Please stay informed and educated not only for these next 4 years but every day. Don’t believe everything that you hear and let’s most certainly stop making jokes and being “unserious” because this is certainly a serious situation. Please get all your important documents and your passports (renew them if you have to) and make sure it is in an easily accessible location in case of emergency. Please stay safe!! 🙏🏽❤️

And lastly to all supporters of Donald Trump and his people I very disrespectfully order you to block and remove me from any social media account you have me on. If I find a supporter on ANY of my socials you will not only be removed but I will make sure everyone I know, knows to block you as well. Have a good one!
