Solidarity with #Ferguson. Remember to not touch your face when teargassed or put water on it. Instead use milk or coke!
Always make sure to run against the wind /to keep calm when you’re teargassed, the pain will pass, don’t rub your eyes! #Ferguson Solidarity
It feels so weird using my experience from #Palestine and Israeli oppression to give advice to #Ferguson. Much love and solidarity.
