Covid is a social justice issue.
Respirators cost money.
HEPA filters cost money.
Tests cost money.
Vaccines cost money.
Paid time off is rare.
Affordable child care is non existent
Covid disproportionately impacts those who are already the most marginalized
Mask up & protect your community
From the scanner right now: LAPD is taking rubber bullets from LASD. I am not joking. (They're in each other's crossfire, it's a clusterfuck that they've largely brought on themselves)

The fact that the government is using charges of antisemitism to justify sending people to concentration camps is the most enraging manipulation of discourse that the current fascists have engaged in thus far.
They’ll live out their Nazi fantasies all while claiming they are doing it for the Jews.

Truth social post from Trump which reads All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Defunding schools who allow protests is some next level fascist garbage.
But please don’t miss the “No masks!” Line.
JD Vance instituted a federal ban on mask mandates. Many States and counties have banned masks with problematic & insufficient medical exemptions
If you want to resist? Mask up!
In practical terms, we've already legalized the transfer of the power of the purse to the presidency, we're just waiting to see how the legal niceties get sorted out.

Some federal workers are going back to work.
The USDA has been ordered to temporarily give over 5,000 workers their jobs back.
Dozens of CDC scientists have been reinstated after being illegally fired.
The National Science Foundation has rehired half of the workers it fired.
One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Healthcare workers who refuse to mask for patients are putting their own politics & perceived comfort above the literal life of another person.
You know if they believed the patient was a risk to them, they would have an N95 on in a hurry.
Wear the mask. Its the right thing to do
Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

Try to be generous in your estimation of other people, and how we're coping, right now, and try to be kind. Some of us are barely holding it together enough to survive, as it is. If you have the energy and will to fight hard, use that to protect and support, not chastise, whoever doesn't. That's all

Healthcare workers…If your patient is wearing a mask you should too.
When you ask “do you want me to wear a mask?” You’re putting an undue burden on your patient
You’re refusing to acknowledge the imbalance of power that makes us feel uncomfortable saying “yes”
Just wear a mask. At all times.
Oh no rip, that's hell

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

If you’re still masking - thank you.
If you’re still trying to convince others to mask - thank you.
If you understand the benefit of a well fitted respirator - you’re awesome.
Masking isn’t just a way to safeguard one’s health. It’s an act of solidarity with disabled & marginalized communities.
Did this essay mention that JB aimed for herd immunity via mass infection?
No. It did not.
Essays that defend JB are never transparent.
It’s all revisionist history and denial.
Mask Bloc LA member Abby Mahler poses with a wagon full of free high-quality masks The text on the image reads, “THE SICK TIMES: COVID-19 advocates are distributing masks to protect Californians from wildfire smoke. By Sam Rhodehamel.
“We knew it had to happen from us. There was no one else doing it. No one to call,” Abby Mahler, a member of Mask Bloc LA, told The Sick Times. “We deserve to breathe clean air. That is not being provided to us by the government that we pay for.”
As the skies of Los Angeles filled with smoke this week from multiple raging wildfires, COVID-19 advocates and mutual aid groups stepped in to fill the gaps left by local and state governments, providing respirators and crucial information about clean air. bit.ly/4jaTnYs
