just spent 5 minutes letting my representatives know what's at stake with any bill that criminalizes masks -- please share with your masking friends in texas <3 tinyurl.com/stophb3061

New York, keep calling your NY Senator and Assemblymember! Hearing that some are still on the fence about whether to add anti-mask legislation to the state budget! Masks should not be banned, criminalized, or stigmatized. #NoNYMaskBan

#COVID19 re-infection doubles risk of long COVID in kids, young adults, data reveal The second infection was also tied to a 50% or greater increase in several specific #longCOVID conditions, including myocarditis and fatigue www.cidrap.umn.edu/c...

Mask ban lobbyists announced another 6-figure campaign to drum up support for their "popular" proposal. They call concerns "misinformation" but have yet to address any. How can the NYPD know whose mask is “legitimate”? How can they judge someone's intent without bias?

New Yorkers, have you called your NY State Senator and Assemblymember yet today? #NoNYMaskBan

“Since we live under racial capitalism, settler colonialism, & white supremacy, ableism…here’s always been about…race, gender, labor/productivity/capital and dis/ability…used for generations to degrade, oppress, control, & disappear disabled & non-disabled people alike…” truthout.org/articles/abl...

Grateful to have access to vaccines right now (for now) & very scared of the consequences of a violently anti-vax government threatening our futures. Vaccines are a critical public health strategy we cannot afford to lose. Keep vaxxing, keep masking, keep caring.

Just got my 6 month COVID vaccine booster 💉 Reminder to people w/ compromised immune systems & anyone else recommended to get a second 2024-2025 dose: If you were vaxxed anytime in Sept, it has been 6 mo now. You can still get boosters from most retail pharmacies! Mask up, get vaxxed, & rest!

NY, hope you’ll join me in leaving voicemails today for our NY State Senator, Assemblymember, Senate Majority Leader, Assembly Speaker, and Governor urging them not to pass any type of anti-mask legislation in the state budget! Masks should NOT be criminalized. #NoNYMaskBan

So how is everyone else coping with this season of Severance being over What are we supposed to look forward to every week in this real world hellscape I need my emotional support sci fi thriller, the fictional one, not reality (The season finale was a masterpiece though)

Fellow journalists, it's easy to write "at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic" when referring to 2020-2021, instead of putting Covid-19 in past tense.

Most of the people in power have never had to fight for anything, and it shows.

Pain management is suicide prevention. Pain management is suicide prevention. Pain management is suicide prevention. Pain management is suicide prevention. Pain management is suicide prevention. Pain management is suicide prevention. Pain management is suicide prevention.

A coalition of archivists and librarians is now assembling information arks. The Data Rescue Project includes more than 400 volunteer backups of government repositories. When asked who was contributing to these backups, an administer of the tracker had a simple answer: “Nerds who care.”

"My arrest was a direct consequence of exercising my right to free speech as I advocated for a free Palestine and an end to the genocide in Gaza, which resumed in full force Monday night." a letter from Mahmoud Khalil in ICE detention mondoweiss.net/2025/03/lett...

This includes a mask ban.

according to a classmate, on the night of Khalil's detainment, a call went out in a student group chat warning that ICE officers were seen on campus. someone asked for help; they forwarded it on, including to a group chat Khalil was in. hours before his detainment, he reached out: “How can I help?”

for @teenvogue.com, Columbia journalism student Anvee Bhutani spoke to people who have known the disappeared Mahmoud Khalil at different points in his life — aid workers, friends, fellow activists — who describe a deeply committed, compassionate organizer who saw education as a way to serve others.

I am disgusted that this is the world we live in. People will die. That’s not hyperbole- people will literally die horribly without LIFESAVING HIV medication.

Mahmoud Khalil writes from an ICE detention facility: "The Trump administration is targeting me as part of a broader strategy to suppress dissent." mondoweiss.net/2025/03/lett...

We’ll say it again: Criminalizing masks does not make New Yorkers safer. In reality, it puts our health at risk, opens the floodgates for racist enforcement, threatens to exile some people with disabilities from society, and undermines protections for protestors.

URGENT: NY Gov. is pushing harder for mask ban Take action, see thread The criminalization of masks is antithetical to public health & community safety. Mask bans disproportionately harm the most marginalized people, especially racially marginalized & disabled people. www.nyclu.org/press-releas...

NEW: CSC is launching a policy report form to track campus mask bans and restrictions being proposed or implemented at universities/colleges across the US. If you care about pandemics, privacy, protests, and Palestine, help us spread the word and track these policies. tinyurl.com/ReportCampus...

Recently I went to the state capital to testify against a mask ban bill in Maryland. As we await updates, I hope this is educational to hear if you’re new to the topic or encourages you to speak out in the future. It's not over until it's over everywhere. Nobody is free until all of us are free.
