Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Call your representatives. Also call the chairs of the Senate and House appropriations committees. Let them know that Americans are watching what they do.

WaPo is reporting that this site may be taken down tonight. So order your free COVID tests while you still can.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Reject the New York mask ban. Jews for Mask Rights explains why a ban would cause more problems than it would solve.

Gorillas, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park, Uganda. You must mask up to protect the gorillas from infectious diseases. But some people let their mask slip below their nose. 😬 I’d bet my bottom dollar that I’m the only person who tested for COVID shortly before the trek, just to be sure.

If Trump had pulled out of WHO prior to 2020, we would not have had access to the genetic sequence of SARS-CoV-2. Instead of developing the world's first mRNA vaccines, we would have been behind the rest of the world.

Mere disorganization or something darker? Sadly, the latter would be on-brand.

How can we trust the ADL’s judgment if they can’t recognize a Nazi salute? When a clear example of antisemitism occurs at the highest level of government, they tell us to "take a breath." Instead, they push a ban on masks, the very safety device that lets so many of us breathe. 🧵

Mundari camp, South Sudan

Among today’s slew of appalling executive orders, Trump is withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization “due to the organization’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic.” Pot kettle black.

Given the choice between being in the United States or South Sudan today, I chose South Sudan.

Prior to Covid it was normal to mask in the NICU. People understood that premature babies are as vulnerable as they come and need to protected. Now? Gowns & gloves but no masking. The damage caused by anti mask rhetoric will be felt for years (possibly decades) to come.

Every superhero has an origin story. Designing a better mask due to California wildfires was ours. Today, we're supporting our community in SoCal by offering @flomask.bsky.social at cost with discount code CaliStrong30. Please help us spread the word.

This is batshit crazy stuff. No way should this man be anywhere near federal healthcare policy. If you have a Republican Senator, call or write to them to tell them to vote “hell no” on this nomination.

After a few days of somewhat warmer temperatures in New York, we’re back to subfreezing conditions. So, again, I’m wearing an N95 to keep my face warm while walking three miles to work. But this time I’ve stepped up the color coordination with a surgical mask on top.

Portable air filters are “an important tool to help reduce the risk of transmission of airborne infectious diseases. This is settled science, and has been for decades. Moreover, PAFs are relatively simple to use, and there is a variety of high-quality guidance available for their deployment.”

More than 15,000 US doctors have signed an open letter urging senators to reject RFK Jr’s nomination. They say his appointment would be “a direct threat to the safety of our patients and the public at large.”

How to keep your face warm while walking more than three miles to work in temperatures below freezing point? An N95. In particular, I find that SoftSeal valved N95s work well for this purpose.
