Flint Modern Art…. And this is scary… This doesn’t even happen in third world countries! Sad truth but nobody REALLY cares about Flint besides people who live there and who struggle every day! Just to get the opportunity to use clean water!

And I’m afraid that nothing ever gets done with this shit… 

Keep praying for Flint and its people…

The past two days (Feb. 9th-10th 2017) immigration authorities have been making a series of arrests in at least 6 states across the country. Immigration lawyers and advocates confirmed that they are arresting a currently unknown number of undocumented immigrants. These raids are targeting people freely - meaning those who once would have been dubbed “low risk/low priority” such as those without criminal records are being arrested.

The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, has confirmed that home and workplace raids have occurred in Atlanta, Los Angeles, and other cities they refuse to identify. But we know from the arrest of Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos that Arizona has been targeted and immigration lawyers and activists have also documented raids over the past 48 hours in:

Vista, California

Pomona, California

Compton, California

Austin, Texas

Dallas, Texas

Pflugerville, Texas

Alexandria, Virginia

Annandale, Virginia

Charlotte, North Carolina

Burlington, North Carolina

Plant City, Florida

The Hudson Valley region of New York

Wichita, Kansas

What to do if ICE comes to your door?

Do not open doors! ICE cannot come in without a signed warrant or if you let them in. Tell them to pass the warrant under the door before you open.

Remain silent! ICE can use anything you say against you in your immigration case so claim your right to remain silent! Say “I plead the fifth amendment and choose to remain silent”.

Do not sign! Don’t sign anything ICE gives you without talking to an attorney.

Report the raid! Report immediately to the UWD hotline 1-844.343.1623. Take pictures, video and notes: badge numbers, number of agents, exactly what happened!

Fight back! Get a trustworthy attorney and explore all options to fight your case. If detained, you may be able to get bail. Don’t give up hope!

En caso de redadas ¿qué puedes hacer?

¡No abras la puerta! Pregúntale a la migra i tienen una orden de arresto y que te la pasen por debajo de la puerta.

¡Guarda silencio! Tiene el derecho a permanecer callado/a. Si te confrontan agentes de inmigración, di: “Uso mi derecho bajo la quinta enmienda, y tengo el derecho a mantenerme callado/a.” Los agentes de inmigración pueden usar cualquier cosa que digas en tu contra en tu caso de inmigración.

¡No firmes! No firmes nada que te den los agentes de inmigración sin hablar con un abogado.

¡Haz un plan y pelea! Sí inmigración detiene a ti o a un ser uerido, busca un  abogado de confianza, y haz planes para que alguien cuide a tus hijos. Tu puedes pelear un caso óde detencin y tal vez recibir una fianza.

Que faire si les agents d'immigration sont à votre porte?

N'ouvrez pas la porte! Les agents d'immigration n'ont pas le droit d'entrer à moins de présenter un mandat. Disez leur de le passer par dessous la porte.

Restez silencieux! Les agents d'immigrations peuvent utilisez tout ce que vous disez contre vous dans votre affaire d'immigration. Vous avez le droit de garder le silence. Dites “Je plaide le cinquième amendement et décide de garder le silence.” (En anglais: “I plead the fifth amendment and choose my right to remain silent”, phonétiquement “Aïe plide de fifz amèned'mente ènd tchouse tou rimèine saïlente.”)

Ne signez rien! Ne signez rien sans parler à un avocat.

Documentez le raid! Informez immédiatement l'organisation “United we Dream” en appelant au numéro suivant: 1-844-343-1623. Faites des photos, filmez et notez tout: les numéros de badges, le nombre d'agents et les évenements exacts.

Défendez vous! Parlez à un avocat de confiance et explorez toutes les possibilités pour défendre votre cas. Si vous êtes détenu, vous pouvez éventuellement être libéré contre caution – ne perdez pas espoir!

Brazilian Portuguese:

URGENTE: se você não tem permissão para estar nos EUA, NÃO abra a porta se um agente do serviço de imigração (ICE) estiver batendo. Não responda a nenhuma pergunta do agente se ele tentar falar com você. Você tem o direito de permanecer calado. Você NÃO tem que dar seu nome ao agente. Se você está no trabalho, pergunte ao agente se está livre pra sair, e se ele disser que sim, SAIA. Você tem direito de falar com um advogado.

Someone punches a nazi and now people are screaming and crying about how we need to use our words and that violence doesn’t solve anything. 

But then Shia Labeouf does nothing but yell at a nazi that had the audacity to show his ugly ass face and spout pro-white bullshit on his live stream, and now ya’ll are calling him a bully? Are you really gonna defend LITERAL NAZIS in 2017?? What the fuck is up????

NFL player Joe Haden is taking a powerful stand against the “R-word” 

“I don’t think there is [a] feminine way of expressing violence or dealing with it. There is only just the filmmaker’s approach. I don’t think it’s gender specific. Violence is violence. Survival is survival. I don’t think there is a feminine eye or a feminine voice. You have two eyes, and you look in three dimensions and in a range of color. So can everybody. What about a woman’s background would make that vision different? In all my films, my characters—male and female—are fighting for their lives. That’s a human thing.”
