Kat Abughazaleh: "We need to, first off abolish and prosecute ICE and DHS and we return DHS' responsibilities to Departments of Justice, State, of Treasury, of Transportation. All of these responsibilities that were taken from those departments... We need to repeal the Patriot Act."

"Remigration" is a term with roots in the far-right identitarian movement in Europe. It essentially refers to a mass program of ethnic cleansing through forced migration of racial or ethnic minorities regardless of their legal status.

when it comes to less lethals you don't need ballistic armor, which is expensive

bike helmet. Hockey helmets. goggles. football pads or just extra padding if it's not too hot

there are always trade offs with armor but please if you go out at least protect your eyes and head.

I feel like this story is straight out of Tear Gas Tuesday. That's exactly what happened here too.

Hearing from various press members, there are *at least* three accredited journalists who have been hospitalized today due to law enforcement less lethal munitions.

@adamrose.bsky.social and others will likely be able to update further.

seconding this. if you get hit directly in the head with an impact munitions like this or a grenade go immediately to the ER. don't stay to protest with your friends. Don't try to be "tough". your night or day is done. seek medical care

folks I've been tear gassed something like 200 times and maced at least fifty or so times. once i was soaked in mace to my underwear. ignore any neat scientific tricks people give you for beating this stuff

-Water for tear gas
-sudecon wipes for mace
-if no sudecon, wash mace with water

Both reporters have checked in, but are currently covered in CS gas. Currently reviewing footage, @acatwithnews.bsky.social thinks it may have been a tear gas canister that he took to the forehead
