White folks are used to being polite and accommodating to cops. Do not fall into your old ways. For once, your silence will not be violence. STFU if the cops come looking for your neighbours. No matter how friendly.

Fascism only works if we go along with it. Fascism only works if we surrender to it. Resist. Do not say a word about your neighbours. As far as the cops are concerned you’re a recluse who doesn’t talk to anybody where you live."

"Fascist raids by law enforcement should be met with:

I don’t know.

I can’t help.

I do not know anybody’s legal status.

I have no idea who is an immigrant.

    Only problem with those is if they can prove you knew.

    Best thing to say is “Am I being detained?” And if so you say “I invoke the fifth amendment.”

    And then you shut the fuck up.

      Its harder than that. They have to prove you knew at that time. You can absolutely temporarily forget things.

      Which is why the trump documents case was such a crazy case. We litterally have a conversation of him with a journalist saying “I have these documents, I can’t declassify them now, and I know it’s illegal for me to have them”. Fucker should have gone to jail, it does not get more dead to rights than that.
