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)

GALLEGO: Why is the agent who shot Renee Good holding a camera phone & weapon?

LYONS: The US attorney was requiring to have video leading up to arrests, so officials have used phones for that

GALLEGO: Maybe you shouldn't be trying to be an influencer and wielding a weapon at the same time

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?

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.
