If you are watching the opening ceremony on NBC, you won't hear the boos of JD Vance because NBC cut it. Corporations working to keep Americans in the dark about how unpopular their elected officials are. The White House reposted the censored clip.

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.

“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.
Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let On
In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and surf...

With the increased use of LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Devices), preparation & avoidance are key to preventing long term hearing loss.
Moving perpendicular to the beam direction quickly reduces exposure since LRAD effectiveness drops dramatically outside the focused cone.
LRAD Sound Weapons at Ice Protests: How They Work and Protection Tips
LRAD sound weapons at protests use focused acoustic beams up to 162 decibels that cause permanent hearing damage, but distance and industrial earplugs provide effective protection.

If you are exposed to tear gas, immediately move away & towards higher ground if possible.
Cool water is the best treatment. (Dilution is the solution.) Avoid using oil based cleansers as they will trap the irritants.
Preparation is key. Follow this guide for greater safety.

Thank you @democrats.senate.gov for voting unanimously for Senator Sanders’ Amendment to strip ICE of BBB funding. Can you please demand the Sanders Amendment as a condition to fund DHS now that you’ve successfully separated it from the larger spending package?

During WWII, the U.S. government forcibly took over 100,000 people of Japanese ancestry from their homes and held them in internment camps.

Fred Korematsu was arrested and convicted for defying the government’s order and refusing to go to the camps.

You would think Chuck Schumer would've learned by now that appeasement does not work with a dictator.

Defund, Abolish, Remove. This is the only solution for ICE.

People are literally getting murdered in the street and children are getting ripped from their families.

Abolish ICE or step down

All these Republicans slowly backtracking on ICE were the ones who went all in Trump and Stephen Miller's agenda.

We won't forget.

We also won't forget the Democrats who were complicit.

Minnesota believes in law and order. We believe in peace. And we believe that Trump needs to pull his 3,000 untrained agents out of Minnesota before they kill another American in the street.

Masked government agents are conducting “show me your papers” stops, detaining 5-year-olds to use them as bait, and brutally murdering U.S. citizens.

Call it what it is — fascism.

History will not look fondly on politicians and so-called "leaders" of this country who stood by and enabled this.

This is a MUST-READ affidavit.

This eyewitness to Alex Pretti’s murder — who is too scared to even go home because she doesn’t trust federal agents — directly refutes what the feds are saying happened today:

Abolish ICE, abolish DHS, redistribute the other agencies, prosecute actual criminals, such as people who commit execution-style murders of Americans in broad daylight.

It is increasingly clear that stripping the Department of Homeland Security down to the studs — ICE, Border Patrol, all of it — is the minimum we must do when we regain power.

But we can’t afford to wait that long to rein in these agencies.
