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.

The problem is not simply solved or even significantly so with a mere “don’t tell the pigs anything”

Nowhere is this being touted as a solution to the entire problem, this is advice on how to act in a specific situation, and again, a call on people to make that choice on where they stand, now, because now is the time, not once they're knocking on your door, then it's too late to start considering how to act (and if someone has already decided to, or hasn't but defaults to being a collaborator, they get lumped up with the fascists they enable).
