Use only water or fresh air on tear gas or pepper spray.

No milk, vinegar, antacids, urine, etc. and especially not in eye.

Thank me later,

An actual expert

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

The Supreme Court upholds decision requiring Alex Jones to pay $1.4 billion for saying Sandy Hook was a hoax.

Good. His slanderous statements caused unnecessary trauma.

Pay up.

Then start advocating for better gun control.

It’s long past time.

Not comprehensive at all

Indeed, but there's degrees of bad

I know a lot about tear gas and tear gas, fundamentally, is a distraction. It is unpleasant but it's designed to be distraction. Abusing me does not change that fundamental fact. It's designed to be insufferable background nuisance. I'm saying to keep the eyes on the prize.

You literally can't. There's no chemistry you are going to do to react to the chemicals. But I am being pedantic. Neutralize is not the thing you want to say.

You can cool them off and stop the burning. Pour water on them. Use a traffic cone.
