This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

Milk does not go in eyes. Water is what you use to wash out chemical irritants. Just water. Ignore all other advice to the contrary unless you have a fucking medical degree of some sort in which case go off king/queen

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

Reporter's notebook: I actually began working on this story shortly after footage of the incident showed up last month.

But by the time I finally got ahold of folks, the story grew: 2 *other* faith leaders I spoke with *also* reported being shot w/pepper balls while protesting this ICE facility.
Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

They are not part of normal discourse. BUT "Skew-T" diagrams that come from soundings w weather balloons are *irreplaceable* as guides to weather in general, dangerous weather in particular.

Pilots use them for icing/clouds. Everyone else, for tornado/ derecho/ etc alerts.
