I want you to understand that every tiny little thing you can do to gum up the works of this fascist machine adds up.

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.

A search on the NYT website for "charlie kirk" on the dates Sept 10 & Sept 11 currently yields 41 items.

A search for "melissa hortman" on the dates June 14 & June 15 currently yields 22.

That Atlantic article on ICE morale really was "Jackbooted fascist thugs disappointed to discover fascist dictatorship not an appreciative, empathetic employer" huh?

National Park sites have started removing the word "transgender" and replacing "LGBT" or "LGBTQ+" with "LGB" on their websites.

U.S. Park Service erases the word 'transgender' from website commemorating Stonewall riot
The changes come after an executive order President Trump signed calling for the federal government to define sex as only male or female.

Hey, we identitified a few of the researchers responsible for creating this DEI Watch List thing. This website still doesnt allow images to be uploaded through Tor tho, so here's the link to a consolidated version of our ID thread on Twitter:

The cops might welcome fash to town, but antifa won't.

USAID is shut down, but @distributeaid.org is organizing our next shipments to Gaza and Lebanon.

ICE is starting raids, but @ufw.bsky.social is out there protecting migrant workers and No More Deaths is still doing water drops on the border.
