Tear gas or other 40mm less lethal munitions are meant to be fired at the ground, not at a person. The idea is for the canister or grenade to roll into the crowd. Notably, cops almost never do this! Instead they aim at peoples heads and chests. Causing severe and often permanent injury.

In the third picture the weapon that the fascist is pointing at that mans head is a 40mm grenade launcher. If you fired that point blank it would cave someones skull in. Certain death. Its the same as if he had a rifle to his head.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

He’s not even referring to them as people anymore … just “narcoterrorists”.

He’s dehumanizing those aboard the Venezuelan boats to distract from the fact that the regime are murdering people in international waters.

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 19h

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

The framing “it’s unreasonable to ask me to mask” reminds me of climate change discussions - “it’s unreasonable to ask for net zero” etc - bc ppl think of the politics as more “real” than the science. Sometimes things are hard or unfair but reality and science don’t care

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Remigration Wikipedia Page.

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.
It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement. Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.

Another thing regarding mutual aid & who your community is, is a lot of disabled people in particular are very isolated. They're in deep poverty & complete abandonment. Literally. So they hop online to have community. Sometimes it's the only community they have & the only way they can get help.
