ID for all 3 images: White text on a black background:
"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.
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."

The only proper response to a door knock is "come back with a warrant".
Rights are rights for a reason, don't let that shit erode any further.
That is fine while you have the rule of law and independent institutions to enforce those rights. When those institutions are eroded or facing the barrel of a gun then people's rights might as well he written on toilet paper.
You can't make up for a dysfunctional political system with demands for fictional rights.
People from one particular notable country always get the emphasis wrong in my opinion. Perhaps they are all brainwashed. They think the rights uphold their system when in truth it is the system that upholds the rights. It has kept them blind to the reforms needed to breathe life into a system that barely qualifies as a democracy by modern standards.
Totally stealing this.
The only proper response to a door knock is to not open the door.
If the fascist pigs have a warrant, they'll find their own way inside anyway. Otherwise, they can stay the fuck out.
Sorry to disappoint, but
Warrant or not.
Still, there's no point in making it easy for them. The sooner you accept that your rights won't be protected, the sooner they'll disappear entirely. You must act as if your rights are natural laws of the universe, and if enough people do then they may as well be.
That's how we get to where we are now.
Rights dictated to you by the state are categorically not universal nor natural, they exist in service of the state and the capitalists who own it, and they can and are withdrawing them as they please.
The entire point of the post is that people who have more privilege need to stand the fuck up for those who have less, not try and find ways out of doing so.
Edit to clarify: giving the cops the pleasure of kicking down your door and arresting, or even shooting you for "resisting" isn't making their job harder, only yours.
Start playing "come out ye black and tans"
I'd also like to take this moment to remind how to handle a police interaction in the USA, in a one minute video described by a few lawyers: STFU Friday!
