a journalist who covered the protests told me just the other day they could tell when the police had run out of stock from a u.s. manufacturer and started using canisters from a different supplier

A few years ago The Lancet picked up an estimate from Bloomberg that ~90% of the HK population tasted tear gas during the 2019 pro-democracy protests. The article was filed under oncology because no one knows what happens when a city gets persistently tear gassed over a long stretch of time.

Lynda Lopez @lyndab08.bsky.social · 2d

The deployment of tear gas throughout the Chicago area is a growing health concern. ICE is deploying tear gas in residential neighborhoods, near children, playgrounds, stores, etc. What are the health implications on our communities?

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.
