Use only water or fresh air on tear gas or pepper spray.

No milk, vinegar, antacids, urine, etc. and especially not in eye.

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Religious protesters say ICE threatens religious freedom in Chicago

(RNS) — Despite potential danger, religious leaders and faith activists have been a visible presence at Chicago-area ICE protests, some waving signs with slogans such as ‘Love thy neighbor’ and ‘Who w...

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

ICE is calling 911 in Chicago with false reports.

Depleting the local resources, by calling in fake crimes, taking away from the community as a whole.

I hope Chicago gets #ICEOut of their city and state soon!

Oh yes. And I'll do it again.

Glorious! Take your time (I have a manuscript deadline in early 2027)

And as far as "long time" - I spent a day looking at transcripts of the Ebers papyrus, so I can do "long time"

Oh I get that, and there's a lot of papers and articles that say that in passing. I'm looking for Ferret 1 and who figured it out to begin with.

I am, in fact, digging deep. If anyone can guide me to the early sources on this, I'll take it. I have institutional access and several great libraries at my disposal.

fascinating!

And it's evidence of the long-standing trend that property crime often runs along-side ethnic and sectarian violence.

It's police auctioning off the goods from Jews who had been murdered.

Something grimly predictable about the way that the conversation about 'ripoff degrees' in the UK is always about degrees that aren't rip-offs, but are instead fairly obvious 'this student has chosen something unlikely to pay off economically' rather than the short tail of crap business degrees:

Everyone needs educating in the fight over university degrees

Political confusion over the purpose of these institutions means the obvious fixes are being neglected

This is not a new thing. These sorts of crimes against humanity have long had an ethnic component. Do you know what this photo is?

Badenoch and Co see education only as a means to a massive income in some soul destroying career.

Devoid of imagination and the power of knowledge they view life entirely through the prism of the CV.

My advice always is to study what interests you and the rest will follow

Lots of lawyer's money. Someone poor stands no chance in getting their stuff back

I'm curious as to who figured this bit out.

Nobody ever saw Patrick Moore and Vasile Milea in the same room at the same time.

Well, look at what's happening in the US. What do you think happens to your watch, iphone, bank account and car when you get detained and deported without trial?
