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.

so... in the age of digital surveillance, no one needs to ask other humans about each other. most humans willingly or unknowingly give all their data, like location, identity and more

you could point everybody in the direction of privacy, which might actually help disenfranchised peoples (if you ignore facial and gait recognition, voice and emotional analysis tracking throughout most cities...)

not legal advice, and not advocating anyone doing anything illegal of course

It's a bit too late for that, the digital information is already out there, and trying to hide any of it now wouldn't be much use against physical door to door/workplace/school/church raids anyway.

well for other "law abiding" peoples, we should train them. since there were rules against eating specific icecreams on certain days in the US and the nazi party in germany retroactively enforced new laws, so things can change quickly

Train them to what? Retroactively scrub their presence off the internet? Off of the government records? Impossible.

Really not sure what point you're trying to make with Nazis and ice cream, but either way, laws don't exist to protect citizens, and going forward, they are being written to actively harm them.

Expecting the law to protect you is a huge privilige.
