It says you need "Karma" to post, but you also can't get Karma without posting. Soooooo... How's that supposed to work? It sucks because I've been wanting to reach new audiences and have always enjoyed surfing it when I was bored.

Wow, Reddit has to be the most useless social media site. I created an account to share resources with others and there's no subreddit that allows you to post anything. Not one. Not even comment on another post. Apparently you can only post something if you message the mods to unblock it.

Chemical weapons defense

how to stay safe from tear gas, mace, and pepper spray:

Chemical Weapons Defense

You are awesome and you deserve to be taken care
of. Cops shouldn’t attack you because you disagree with
the way our government is run. You deserve better.
Sometimes cops do attack us, and the best help we have is
each other. Medics are here to spread love, prevent
burnout, and generally try to make things more pleasant
while we fight the good fight.
THE #1 WEAPON OF THE POLICE IS FEAR: Once
you control that, pepper spray and other police tactics
tend to be easily manageable.
Exposure to chemical weapons is not the worst
thing that can happen to you. The hype and fear
surrounding them is enormous, but in reality, if you are
prepared and smart, they shouldn’t faze you.
PAIN IS TEMPORARY AND WE ARE STRONG:
There are many myths about treatment and
prevention of chemical weapons exposure. Much of this
misinformation is potentially dangerous. Some of it, if
applied, could greatly increase or prolong a person’s
reaction to exposure, or at the very least provide a false
sense of security. We only use treatment that has been
tested and established by the medic community as safe. If
you are unsure about something, we recommend sticking
to clean potable water.

Action Preparation
Do
• Wear long sleeves and water- or alcohol-based
sunscreen.
• Have goggles or other eye protection from chemical
weapons.
• Carry a bandana, cloth, or other mask to put over your
mouth and nose if police start using chemical weapons.
Bring a second to wear if the first gets contaminated.
Don’t
• Don’t wear tampons – if arrested, you may not have a
chance to change it.
• Don’t put mineral oil, oil-based sunscreen, paint,
moisturizer, or make-up on skin as they can trap
chemicals.
• Don’t wear contact lenses, because irritating chemicals
can get trapped underneath them.
• Don’t wear things which can be easily grabbed (i.e.
dangly earrings or other jewelry, ties, loose hair).
• Don’t go to the demo alone, if you can help it – go with
an affinity group or some friends who know you well.
What can I carry to help take care of myself?
Water!! Enough for yourself and your friends. Energy
snacks, inhaler, epipen, insulin, or anything else you need for
regular or emergency health care. If needed, a few days of
prescription mediation and a doctor’s note in case of arrest.
BE CALM and FOCUSED when things get most intense.
Watch for signs of physical and mental problems in yourself
and others. Spread calm to those arround you at the demo.
Panic is dangerous for everyone.
BEWARE OF RUMORS: They are often false, and spread fear.
Deal with the known truth.

We need to have tough conversations with people on the fence and use effective media and propaganda to sway the opinions of "middle America". At the same time, we need to prepare to fight, be trained and equipped, establish resistance networks, and have exit strategies in place.

Trump is in open war with US cities.

Hes using financial leverage and the power of law enforcement to not only inflict damage, but to diminish power.

This is being cheered on by half the country, and it’s just the beginning.
