Flipboard Art & Photo Desk<p>Last week, the social media accounts of the Department of Homeland Security posted an image of "American Progress," a 19th-century painting that depicts a floating white woman herding buffalo and Native people off Western lands. Its caption read: "A Heritage to be proud of, a Homeland worth Defending." The original of the painting, which is by John Gast and was completed in 1872, is on display at the Autry Museum of the American West. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@19thnews" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>19thnews</span></a></span> spoke with some of the experts at the museum about its historical significance, how they place it in context, and their perspective on DHS's use of the picture. Virginia Scharff, the museum's chair of Western history, sees the strategic deployment of the “American Progress” painting as deeply insidious. “The Department of Homeland Security is not sending scantily clad White women,” she said, “but instead sending guys with guns and truncheons and masks to grab people off the streets. There’s a deliberate kind of deception being practiced here that is really cynical and really dangerous, in my view."</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/bQPHFD" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/bQPHFD</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ArtHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtHistory</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/TrumpAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpAdministration</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity</span></a></p>

'I didn’t know if I was going to puke or pass out,' she recalled recently. 'I was stumbling, trying to get away.' Smith, who is 28, was wearing goggles plus an N95 mask and thought that whatever was making her ill might have been trapped inside her mask. 'So I made a really bad instinctual decision to take it off,' she said. 'And instead of bringing relief, it instantly felt so much worse, like I was trapped in the air. It was overwhelming.

Mayor Ted Wheeler acknowledged that the city has used '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CSTearGas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CSTearGas</span></a>.' The commonly used formulation contains 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile, a compound that was designed to induce immediate pain but can also have long-term effects, including chronic bronchitis.
