Drew Steuzan's Back to the Future poster, insane composition and all, does almost as much as Alan Silvestri's score to gas up the audience. RIP

Based on the video shared by Univision (they've paired it with overhead from ABC), today's attack might be the most chemical gas we've seen feds launch into a neighborhood so far. The clouds are enormous/that's a lot of canisters. Completely engulfing cars and homes.

Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return from shopping to find their houses sealed, their families gone.

Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. They’re allowed to take only a knapsack and a little cash with them, and even then, they’re robbed of these possessions on the way.

⚠️ Warning: these back-to-back scenes are hard to watch unless you’ve got a depraved heart.

These are thugs, not officers with any real training. We keep seeing it again and again, and at this point, it’s clearly the op.

Story time. It sure is weird to think about a few days ago speaking about VFX. Surrounded by all the amazing props and such was incredible.

But, one person's artwork dominated the entire event.

RIP Drew.

Still spreading around the photoshoped texts, by the way.

Climate change doesn't care about your building or possessions.
Your insurance won't cover you, but keep your current lifestyle thinking the climate emergency is a scam.

I think that part of the contract we have with political commentators in America should be that they have to experience police tear gas and flash bangs once a quarter.

That goes double for politicians that vote to expand funding for police, I don't give a fuck if they're 85.

amanda moore 🐢 @noturtlesoup17.bsky.social · 1d

Not enough writers with national reach are traveling around getting flash banged and shot at by various police imo.
