🎶 MiniDisc FOREVER 🎵
Hours later and fully across town, the air outside reeks of noxious chemicals. Eyes got irritated after just a few minutes outdoors. They've been deploying toxic gas to attack protesters but also to deliberately make all residents sick just by breathing the air. We may need to buy gas masks.
People all over Portland, Oregon were impacted by the chemical warfare deployed by the feds tonight. Here’s a thread of some Portlanders experiences who weren’t even at the protest:
Lots and lots of teargas and various other munitions. People yelling for medics. Ambulance came for one person already and there was a brutal arrest amidst all of this

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

Day 30: A song with a memorable bridge

What's revealing about John's isolated vocal here is the bridge itself.🎶"Though tonight she's made me sad"🎶. In the full mix, you may not notice the nuance in his vocal shift to harmonize w/ Paul.

If you love something, its heart can stand the shocking facts about grave robbers from outer space.
If you love something, it doesn’t talk about fight club, and.. it doesn't talk about fight club.
If you love something, it puts the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again.

So, only hardcore Dark Shadows fans will get this, but isn't Nancy Barrett a total treasure in the 1897 timeline, playing *checks notes* Charity Trask under the influence of Pansy Faye? I mean, there's that one scene where she's flouncing about, taunting her father Rev. Trask... (🧵 1/3)
