Rose Rimler

It was the day after a big general strike in Minneapolis.

T told us about what he's witnessed in the city these past few weeks.

He's joined several protests, and he has seen things escalate.

So today, we're going to talk about what's happening there.

We're going to dive into some science around tear gas, which scientists are looking at, because it's not just Minneapolis.

The stuff is being used on people all over the world, and we're starting to find out more about what it might be doing to us, like what the long-term effects could be.

Plus, we'll talk about immigration raids themselves and what they can do to people in the community.

That is all coming up after the break.

Welcome back.

This is Rose Rimler.

And today we're talking about the stuff that people are getting exposed to amid this huge influx of ICE agents in Minneapolis.

And I'm here for this part of the episode with our editor, Blythe Terrell.

That's interesting.

So we can't use it on enemies in wartime, but cool to use it against our own people in peacetime.

Yep.

Continue.

Very scary.

And then there was a photo, several photos of people getting tear gas directly in the eyes, like the canisters being sprayed into their face.

Do we know anything about that?

Mm-hmm.
