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)

Incredible update: "This article was updated to note that CNN reports there were at least four party balloons shot down by DOD, not just one."

It’s a hurtful emblem of racism, bigotry, and genocide even worse than a klansman’s hood

The Molotov-von Ribbentrop pact ought to be better remembered than it evidently is.

The answer to Nazis and fascism is not Stalinist genocide imagery. Stalin spent over 650 days actively helping Hitler to try to defeat democracy

No. They aren't.
The US military, ICE, and the police are all the same.

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

the whole thing is of course completely revolting. 20 YEARS to settlement for refugees? no settlement if you’ve ever had a criminal conviction or a tax debt? 10 YEARS added if you’ve ever received benefits? partners and children on their own routes to settlement? What are you even TALKING about

Seems the Pentagon is testing anti-drone high-energy lasers near Fort Bliss in El Paso, and didn't feel this was dangerous enough to close airspace over.

The FAA administrator disagreed.

Last week, these lasers successfully protected the American people from a sinister children's party balloon.
Airspace closure followed spat over drone-related tests and party balloon shoot-down, sources say
Pentagon officials had undertaken planning to use military technology near Fort Bliss, in El Paso, to practice downing drones.
