Here's a high-agility / fast and active tear gas defense method! Compiled with advice from experienced practitioners:

>>3L heavy duty waterproof bag (Camping store! Not bigger than 5L. You want the heavy rubberized material, not the new ultra-light nylon ones. Something like this!)

>>Serious welding gloves (Wondergrip WG-318 can work too)

>>A buddy to help regularly change the water / bring water.

>>Be water!

Demonstration of technique:

Police in #Akron tonight assaulted and arrested Jacob Blake Sr., father of Jacob Blake, shot by police in 2020 in Kenosha. Mr Blake has been transported to a local hospital and is reportedly in critical condition.

“I’m siding with the Georgia Ewoks over the cops”

The daily show on cop city
MINNEAPOLIS - East Phillips residents and members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) started an occupation of the Roof Depot site in the early hours of Tuesday morning in resistance to the city’s plan to demolish the site which sits atop decades of arsenic contamination. Demands include an end to the demolition plan, no more additional polluting facilities and an end to evictions of encampments. The occupation was evicted by Minneapolis police on Tuesday evening, eight people were reportedly detained and released.

Rest in power Refaat Alareer

If I must die,
you must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza while looking heaven in the eye awaiting his dad who left in a blaze- and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
not even to himself-
sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above
and thinks for a moment an angel is there
bringing back love
If I must die
let it bring hope
let it be a tale
