Quick PPE video!

I didn't show gloves here - I keep cold-weather gloves, extrication gloves, and nitrile gloves in my kit.

Half-face P100 and goggles versus full-face P100 is personal preference. Either option offers good protection.

A resident named Walter calmly took the mic and recounted an April 9, 1945 newspaper clipping about the liberation of the Ohrdruf concentration camp...

"And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough."
www.welcometohellworld.com/a-surprise-z...
“The U.S. Army brought the leading citizens of Ohrdruf to tour the facility, which turned out to be part of the Buchenwald network of concentration camps. A U.S Army colonel told the German civilians who viewed the scenes that they were to blame. One of the Germans replied that what happened in the camp was 'done by a few people,’ and ‘you cannot blame us all.’ And the American, who could have been any one of our grandfathers, said 'This was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.'" "The morning after the tour, the Mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. And maybe he did not know the full extent of the outrages that were committed in his community, but he knew enough. And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough. I ask you to consider what the Mayor of Ordruf might have thought before he died. Maybe he felt like a victim. He might have thought 'How is this my fault? I have no jurisdiction over this.' Maybe he would have said, 'This site was not subject to local zoning, what could I do?' But I think, when he reflected on the suffering that occurred at this camp, just outside of town, that those words would have sounded hollow even to him. Because in his heart he knew, as we do, that we are all responsible for what happens in our community.”

A bizarre number of people have stepped up to defend Julie Le. What you see in that transcript is an attorney who chose to do evil work—deporting people for ICE then moving over to DOJ in early Jan. specifically to fight these habeas petitions—being called to the carpet. She's desperate, not heroic.

This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now

It's fucking me up that they had to get publicity photos of young Liam in his hat. Like, the hat you were wearing when the state started it's campaign of brutalization against you has become prominent in the visual language of the anti-ICE movement. We need a picture of you home, with that hat.

I just tried to use a built in AI chatbot on a system at work. I haven't even tried crafting my own prompt, just clicking the suggested prompt. It replied with a bunch of industry standard text along with incorrect data from the open record.

i haven't seen anyone say this yet, but putting in Tom Homan makes sense bcuz it points out the obvious liberal hypocrisy with Obama, who had given Tom a presidential award. it's such a perfect encapsulation of the moment. liberalism, with its obfuscated State-run horrors, is the ground for fascism.

Didn't want to put this as a quote on last retweet cause I'm not hating on OP. But, I think the best explanation for why the Democrats are trying to contain and defang anti-ICE sentiment is not that they are incompetent, but that they are very pro-ICE.

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

Riot-Control Agents Image Source: Wikimedia Commons What They Are, How To Protect Yourself, and Addressing Common Misconceptions Written for Minnesota 50501 Street Medics, 01-22-2026 What Is A Riot-Control Agent? Riot-control agents are chemical compounds that cause irritation, most noticeably to the eyes, nose, and throat, intended to temporarily incapacitate a person or group of people without causing lasting harm. They are also known as “lachrimators” - from the Latin word for tears - or “tear gas.” A person exposed to a riot-control agent will experience intense, burning pain, especially in their eyes, nose, and throat, watery eyes, runny nose, and violent coughing fits. The pain and helplessness often causes people to panic. For a healthy adult who is able to remove themself from the source of the riot-control agent, these effects are temporary. They will subside about 15 minutes to two hours after decontamination, depending on the specific agent used, amount of exposure, and the individual’s sensitivity. If an infant or child, or a person with a respiratory condition, is exposed, or if a person is unable to remove themself from the source and suffers prolonged exposure, lasting injuries and/or respiratory failure may result. When tending to someone who was exposed to a riot-control agent, priorities are to get them to clean air, and flush their eyes with copious amounts of clean water. Do NOT use milk, baking soda, maalox, vinegar, lemon juice, or any other fad remedy. The thinking behind most of these rumor remedies was that riot-control agents are either an acid or a base, and could be neutralized by applying a compound on the opposite side of the pH scale. However, pH is not the mechanism by which these agents cause irritation. The agents bind to pain receptors (OC binds to receptor TRPV1; CS binds to receptor TRPA1) and cause the body’s pain-signaling circuits to get stuck in the “on” position. The best way to help is to flush the irritating agent away– the less of it is present to bind to pain receptors, the faster the irritation will subside. Other remedies have been shown to be no more effective than flushing with wat… OC – Oleoresin Capsicum Oleoresin capsicum, or pepper spray, is an oil composed of a concentrated form of the same chemical compounds that give hot peppers their spiciness (capsaicinoids). This is what we are seeing used against protesters in the Twin Cities most often, with the chemical agent being dispensed from a handheld spraying apparatus. Image Source: Encyclopedia of Toxicology (4th Edition) on ScienceDirect Because the compound is an oil, decontamination can be tedious and feel frustrating. Anyone who has touched cooking oil in the kitchen, then tried to give their hand a quick rinse, is familiar with the problem: oil doesn’t dissolve in water. It will take 20+ minutes of continuous flushing with water to rinse the oil off the body. Adding a drop of baby shampoo to the water may help decontaminate the skin, by breaking up the oil faster than water alone can rinse it off. Baby shampoo should NOT be used in the eyes– only clean water! Though it may aid the process of removing the oil from the skin, there is no clinical evidence that baby shampoo eases the pain and irritation from OC any faster than flushing with water. It simply takes time for the effects of OC exposure to subside– capsaicinoids that have already bound to pain receptors need to degrade. One might be thinking: “When it comes to eating spicy peppers, we’re told to drink milk; drinking water only spreads the capsaicin around, while milk relieves the burning. Isn’t this the same compound?” The difference is where the fluid is going. When one washes hot peppers down with milk, they are not decontaminating. The fluid is going down their throat, rather than away from their body. Furthermore, the milk is entering the stomach to be digested– not the eyes, where it may provide fuel to harmful bacteria. If one wanted to decontaminate, rather than ingest the spicy food, they would swish water in their mouth and spit it out several times. CS – 2-Chlorobenzylidenemalonitrile 2-chlorobenzylidenemalonitrile, usually known as CS, is a powder contained in tear gas grenades. The grenade works by rapidly heating a liquid solvent to form vapor, which disperses the powder into the air. Image sourced from a Minneapolis volunteer. Like OC, the only reliable remedy for CS exposure is to flush with copious amounts of water. After decontamination, the pain and irritation from CS on the eyes and skin typically subsides faster than that caused by OC. The powder is also more easily flushed away than OC oil. However, the grenades themselves present additional hazards that handheld spray mechanisms do not. They reach extremely high temperatures to convert liquid to vapor, which presents fire and burn hazards. They are meant for use outdoors, and if a CS grenade ends up in an enclosed space with people present, lethal exposure levels may result. People should NOT attempt to pick up the hot canisters when they are deployed, even with protective gloves. Materials that are prone to melting, like rubber and polyester, will melt to the skin, requiring extensive surgery. Commercially-available welding gloves are intended to protect the hands from sparks, not from grabbing a chunk of red-hot metal. Activists have occasionally managed to hurl hot canisters of tear gas, making for compelling photojournalism. Please be aware that their lack of injury is a combination of preparedness and luck. It is not preparedness alone. The incendiary (heat/fire-producing) compounds in the canisters are usually self-oxidizing, and cannot be extinguished by smothering. They extinguish once the chemical reaction is no longer releasing oxygen to burn.
