A reminder that Covid is a leading cause of death in children, infections are not mild. Around 200 children died from covid in the UK and even seemingly mild or asymptomatic infections carry long covid health risks for years and this isn’t being explained. www.ox.ac.uk/news/2023-01...

Nassau County has a trans sports ban, a mask ban, and the county executive has created an essentially unlicensed militia even though the police basically run the place. Love to live in the model MAGA community, mere miles from NYC.

“The N95 respirator evolved over hundreds of years in response to multiple crises. That evolution will continue through & beyond COVID-19” Masks have changed and evolved over centuries of infectious disease outbreaks & pandemics. We must evolve too. Normalize respirators as a public health tool!

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

If you want to show solidarity with disabled please, please mask up (ideally an N95 or better). Public health is being gutted. Medicaid is on the chopping block. Fascism is here & fascists always target the disabled. By masking you help protect yourself & us. It’s a powerful form of resistance.

The US now has no vaccine advisory committee, no CDC director, and an anti-vaxxer as Health Secretary.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

We have paid 15% of our income* for our entire fucking lives. Please go fuck yourself. * I know half technically comes from the employer but if they weren’t paying it we would make more money

Pride is all about inclusion… but any event without masking is not inclusive of disabled and chronically ill people. Mask up for Pride! Make it fun! Get a mask chain or colourful stickers. Now more than ever we must protect one another, and masking is community care.
