Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let On In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and…

Tear gas can cause long-term health consequences by making people more susceptible to contracting respiratory illnesses, including COVID.

The chemical agent can also hurt people inside their homes if it seeps into residential neighborhoods. What you need to know (published 2020):

Text reading: I had to come down to Los Angeles for Work and ended up trying to help with the raid last night. As a Bernie usefully. Waited by the entrance for detainees 
We were repeatedly denied access of any kind, and eventually LAPD force removed attorneys ice. Also tear gassed a baby under age two. Today they told us to come back at eight to see the clients, but they ever refused entry to us as well as politicians, including Jimmy, Gomez, and right now. They’re releasing some kind of gas, so the Attorneys can’t breathe

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

Every morning I read the news and something else reminds me of Robert Musil saying in 1930s Germany that one of the defining aspects of fascism was the mockery of compassion

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing.

Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

The Evermaskers The isolation of people who take precautions against COVID has only gotten more intense.

"The COVID-conscious people have not abandoned science, It’s the opposite: They’ve come to think that science has abandoned them."
People who are taking precautions, some of whom are immunocompromised, should not be mocked or discriminated against

Attention Must Be Paid to the Migrants Disappearing Under Trump Hundreds of Venezuelan men have been spirited away to a hell outside of the reach of habeas corpus rulings. It is our duty not to look away.

Their attorneys cannot find them. Immigration rights advocates cannot reach them. They exist now as detached from America and the loved ones they were forcibly, and suddenly, separated from.

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again.

This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

Column | The radical vision behind Trump’s Gaza policy The Israeli right wing’s long term ambitions for Gaza loom over the Trump administration’s more immediate interventions in the Middle East.

β€ͺNot only has Israel restricted the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza, but a Netanyahu spokesperson also said Israel is β€œnot ruling out the possibility of cutting off water & electricity in Gaza.” Now Israel is doing just that.
