@AtheistMom10 Try this instead (or something similar). I carry two of them in my med bag. This is the exact same product many police departments issue for their "war bags." https://t.co/XIKMKaCJGd — PolitiTweet.org

@AtheistMom10 In theory the proteins bind to the same receptors capsaicin in OC bind to. But in reality, milk: -spoils outside a fridge in hours -is not sterile & can cause infection -can cause allergic reaction -is harder to find at a protest than a standard disposable water bottle — PolitiTweet.org

@molotov_latte From ER medics? There's a lot of research on it---every year, some rumor about some new concoction makes the rounds as "the best." I recall apple cider vinegar was popular in Ferguson. Cops carry $4,000 shields, but they use a garden hose to flush their eyes at police academy — PolitiTweet.org

Here's another source: This company supplies police departments with decontamination products. Below is the correct protocol for pepper spray decon. USE ONLY PLAIN WATER TO FLUSH EYES. Despite huge police budgets, WATER is what cops use. https://t.co/aGoVu4HGcG #protest2020 https://t.co/wxxk5sddvj — PolitiTweet.org

Heads up This company supplies police w/decontamination products. Here is the correct protocol for pepper spray decon. USE ONLY PLAIN WATER TO FLUSH EYES. Despite huge police budgets, WATER is what cops use themselves when they're exposed https://t.co/Hay8ctG2ne #protest2020 https://t.co/F6TGjDM102 — PolitiTweet.org

I'm seeing folks push antacid, baking soda, all sorts of things. ONLY USE WATER to flush eyes---you're physically flushing them, not neutralizing the chemicals. Even cops, with all their money & equipment, use plain water when they personally get hit by wind or in training. — PolitiTweet.org

Danielle Muscato (she/her) @DanielleMuscato

Bad take. Police claim they ARE doing their jobs, & their training policies, in black & white, back this up. The problem is not that bad apples cross the line. It's not even that "good" cops don't report them. The whole damn system is FOUNDATIONALLY racist, corrupt, & barbaric. — PolitiTweet.org

@johannagriese It's why I do the work I do frankly. If I'm pissing off transphobes it means they're talking about me. Most of them aren't intentionally spreading misinformation. Some of them will be curious enough to fact check. Then you win hearts & change minds with compassion & education. — PolitiTweet.org

@johannagriese Unfortunately I get messages like this all the time. It's part of being #transgender. Why just today, 2 other, totally different people harassing me (1 on Twitter, 1 on IG) lost their accounts, for two entirely independent hate mail messages from this person. #trans #LGBTQ — PolitiTweet.org

I relate to this too much to go through and explain step by step how so. Fucking nailed it. "But I have #trans friends" is suuuuuch tired horseshit. Do they know you are friends? 😂 — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook literally doesn't care ab #trans & BIPOC. When they get enough negative PR that their stock $ is affected, ONLY THEN do they move incrementally/superficially til the story passes. I've literally seen it firsthand. The engineers sympathize, but it's above their pay grade. — PolitiTweet.org

@JulieVPipes @jonjpage Here's a @vulture article breaking down some of @jk_rowling's hateful anti-#trans screed. She's been using these exact same dogwhistle talking points for years on Twitter as well. https://t.co/HKWoGJMYdk — PolitiTweet.org

@JulieVPipes @jonjpage #TERFs are the worst enemy of #trans people. They give rightwing Christian white men, who hate trans people because of their religion, a veneer of credibility in the eyes of mainstream media. They're more vicious & computer savvy than the right-wingers. Christians never doxed me. — PolitiTweet.org

@jonjpage There is a whole community of TERFs who stalk me. I'm not gonna link it but there are literally 100s of ppl who comb through my social media posts for pics & clues about what city I'm traveling to, who I'm dating, etc. They've doxed me & forced me to move several times. — PolitiTweet.org

If you have insurance, contact them and ask for a referral to a therapist who is LGBTQ competent. If you don't, https://t.co/wTwpmKLoJd has a directory of therapists in every city, and online therapy is also a thing. But you can't go through your life like this. It's too short. — PolitiTweet.org
