Thread. 🧵 (1/x)

On the superiority of water as the primary decontaminant for tear gas and peppery spray on skin and eyes.

To make it clear to people, this is a thread. Some of you are not clear on the concept. I will reply this with another post and mark it with a number in (x). And so forth. (1)

Need some evidence, Angie. We’ve been asking for days and you keep making claims. So cough up the evidence
now is a good time to remember that if youre getting gassed at a protest, the green gas is NOT tear gas. it is adamsite.

there is a latency period before you would feel anything. it can make you vomit and sneeze.

How long until a DHS laser system blinds some pilots and downs a commercial airliner, murdering hundreds?

Pete Hegseth used an untested laser system powerful enough to down drones, blind pilots & damage planes without notifying the FAA, forcing Sean Duffy to shut down airspace over El Paso, all because they thought we were under attack by what turned out to be… party balloons?!

Are you f’ng kidding me?

Just like with Brazil arresting their insurrectionists rather than re-electing them, other countries are holding their Epstein-tied politicians accountable far better than we do. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Some 35 Labour MPs are among those who have written to the home secretary to raise concerns about the plans.

The UK doesn’t “offer” asylum. It warehouses and abuses people in a dysfunctional asylum system for years and tries to throw them all out.
The UK should offer asylum to Americans because here is no longer a safe place for us.

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

On the other side we have to prosecute them all

Hitler pardoned his officers preemptively for war crimes, they were still prosecuted at the end of the regime

Pardons are not absolute for crimes against humanity
These are the conditions under which the Trump regime wants to detain noncitizens indefinitely. It violates international law, the Eighth Amendment, and our own laws & regulations.

And the DOJ and DHS are willing to manipulate any law, defy any court order, to keep doing so.
