Worldwide Mask Bloc Directory – Find your local Mask Bloc MaskBloc.org lists active Mask Blocs around the world. Free high-quality masks, COVID-19 tests and other equipment for your community. Mutual Aid & We Keep Us Safe.

It’s still not too late to start wearing a mask.

It can be scary feeling like the lone masker, but it’s worth it.

You will be healthier. You will be keeping your community healthy. You may even encourage someone else to mask.

Masking is community care.

If you can’t afford a respirator:

Dr. Robert Malone, the panel’s vice chair, who ran the meeting, said that the committee had invited Dr. Paul Offit and Dr. Peter Hotez, two prominent vaccine experts, to present at the meeting, but that both had declined.

Dr. Offit, a pediatrician at the University of Pennsylvania, said the panel was offering misleading information to parents.

β€œThis is a political group, not a scientific group,” he said in a message. β€œI don’t want any part of that.”

Dr. Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, echoed that sentiment. β€œI declined because A.C.I.P. seems to have shifted its mission away from science and evidence-based medicine,” he said in a message, referring to the vaccine committee. β€œI’m always happy to discuss the science of vaccines with individuals or groups who are committed to truth and genuine intellectual inquiry.”

A majority of the public may be inclined to agree.

We’ve already seen this play out. Look at Tennesseeβ€”they saw how tight that Tennessee race got. If a so-called β€˜safe’ district can shrink to single digits, nothing is guaranteed.
Even Texas Republicans are bowing out of 2026. They see the writing on the wall and know these maps could turn into a disaster for their own side.
So, if Republicans think these maps guarantee them power, they’re in for a surprise.The final say does not belong to Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, or a Supreme Court willing to look the other way. The final say belongs to the people of Texas.
When Texans have their say, the results will speak for themselves."

"While today’s decision from the Supreme Court is disappointing, it’s not shocking coming from a MAGA-influenced court. Here’s the bottom line: Texans are now being told to vote under maps that a panel of three federal judgesβ€”right here in Texasβ€”said were drawn to weaken the voices of Black, Latino, and minority communities. Those findings still stand. The Supreme Court simply pressed pause, allowing these maps to be used for the 2026 election cycle while the case continues.
Let’s be clear: the Supreme Court did not say these maps are fair. They did not say these maps are constitutional. They did not undo what the lower court found. All they did was allow maps that the lower court flagged as discriminatory to stay in place for now. 
To every politician celebrating this decision, let me offer a word of caution: Don’t get too comfortable. These maps were drawn like political Russian rouletteβ€”slicing districts, tightening margins, and assuming voters wouldn’t fight back. When you push district lines this far, you risk losing the very seats you thought you locked in.

Trump's pardon of Honduras' drug trafficker president is raising awareness of Prospera, the weird tech-ruled city he helped to create.

Prospera is #NetworkState, a scary cult of tech billionaires who plan to replace nation-states with privatized dystopias.

It’s been six years since the first reported case of SARSCov2.

It’s never too late to wear a mask.

It’s never too late to clean the air.

Every infection avoided or delayed is a win for long term health.

We can drastically reduce transmission if everyone does their part.

It was six years ago today that a man in Wuhan, China began feeling ill.

He would become the first known COVID case.

Covid is still with us. It’s still killing and disabling.

Clean the air. Wear a mask. Get your boosters.

Public health is a social justice issue.

Fuck off, Gabby.
The real problem is your piece-of-shit husband @SenMarkKelly and other Democrats, who mass-import terrorists, demonize the National Guard members saving cities, and call on 18-year-old enlistees to disobey the President of the United States.

It’s a quote post of a gabby Giffords post which reads

Gabby was shot in the head in an act of political violence

Her husband retired from military service to care for her

She’s an advocate for gun control and he has been speaking out about disobeying illegal orders

Mike thinks it’s ok to insult both of them

Shooting in Stockton. California leaves several injured as investigation continues Several people were injured in a shooting incident in Stockton, California, on Saturday evening.

Four dead and at least ten wounded in a mass shooting in Stockton, California.

It’s long past time to seriously address gun violence in America.

There’s nowhere else on earth with this volume of mass shootings and school shootings.

It’s time for gun control:
