Police around the country are beginning to crack down with brutal violence on students demonstrating in solidarity with Gaza. This video from Chile shows how to extinguish tear gas canisters quickly, safely, and easily. Please circulate it widely!
To deal with tear gas canisters, take a water jug with a wide mouth, pick up the canister with protective gloves, drop it in the jug, and shake the jug while covering the top with your hand just enough that the gas doesn't get out.
It can help to put a little baking soda, dish soap, and/or vegetable oil in the jug of water—3 tablespoons of each to 1 liter of water.
Don't seal the bottle. You don't want it to explode.

Hey, seasoned international travelers, have a moment to give advice? I’m wondering whether this “provide all your passport details” web form from KLM is worth filling out.
It promises to “speed up the check-in process at the airport.” As a software person, the offer I hear is “make your sensitive data pass through even •more• systems with heaven knows what security characteristics.”
If doing it at the airport is +5 min, I’d prefer that. If that’s asking for a headache, then OK, fine, online.
my teacher failed to show up, and despite being slightly disappointed, my main emotion was relief, because in the minutes before, I was so about to chicken out.
It's not nice if a dream shows you your own cowardice.

Hello
The Trump Org will likely be dissolved this week
Property owned by the Trump Org will be sold off
Things like Mar A Lago
And since Trump tried to sneak assets out of his failing empire, Letitia put a financial monitor on Trump
They already caught him trying to sneak more out.
It’s not nice to gloat, but Auntie Flex gives you permission this time
🇺🇸
@omegaman It strikes me that I heard such outlandish claims before Trump was elected last time. People shouting that kind of foolishness look only more discredited after so many of the last claims didn’t turn out.
It’s crying wolf.
And in the end, I would say that if you want to oppose Trump then the best thing you could do is point out how ineffective he is, what a loser he was, instead of promoting these nutty ideas that actually earn him more support from the nutty base who might vote for him.
If you want to oppose Trump, why not point out that he’s not the strong leader that would deport all the Muslims, or whatever, to a erode his support from voters who want to see that?
@Arthur_500 There is no way to look at this text that goes on and on about how important slavery is, how unfair it is that the national government doesn't live up to its promise to allow slavery and how there's a tension between slaveholding and non-slaveholding states, and draw the conclusion "so, it wasn't actually about slavery".

It's a long preamble, here's why the states united, bla bla, then it gets to the core. The other states promised we could have slaves, but they're not catching them for us when they escape.
"This stipulation was so material to the compact, that without it that compact would not have been made."
It then goes on to say that soon an abolitionist party will come to power and they will come for our slaves, so we're out.
It. Was. About. Slavery.
Any claim to the contrary is plain misinformation.
