Apparently this person was asked to provide medical documents that proved she needed to mask. This is why “health exceptions” to masks bans don’t work.

Do you want lower rates of "crime"? Do you want increased childhood development and well-being? Do you want lower rates of homelessness? Do you want to reduce overdose deaths? Do you want these things cheaper than ever? Then give people housing, food, schooling, medicine, and support, for free.

AOC during Zohran for Mayor rally: "There are people out there who say, 'If you go out and make this endorsement, your political career will be over.' And to that I say: I don't care. We will never get to a better place if everyone is just worried about themselves. If it's over, so be it."

For the folks talking about the "3.5% rule", remember that after you come out for a rally you also need to take part in organized, effective resistance. Materially disrupt things. Make trouble. Create support networks to feed your neighbors and bail out protesters. Don't show up just one day.

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Hey, L.A., I'll be seeing you soon. In the meantime, wherever you are, some well-meaning people have circulated memes suggesting that people sit down. It might work for small, choreographed protests, but for large, unruly ones it puts everyone in more danger. Here's why:

If you're at a rally/protest today, please consider masking in public for the next few days. The new covid variant NB 1.8.1 is highly transmissible, and if you care about your community, you don't want to spread disease before your symptoms develop if you caught it at a large gathering.

One thing that stood out really powerfully in last night's mayoral debate is that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander both operate from the premise that New York City is a wonderful and beautiful and precious place. Andrew Cuomo does not.

DC folks: be wary of the “ICE out of DC” protest PSL is organizing in the city tonight. It is not supported by local immigrant justice groups. Many local immigrants and immigrant justice groups have asked them to change the location because it puts the Latino community at risk. They said no.

once you recognize that the reason horse cops exist is because a deliberate horse trampling has plausible deniability that hitting someone twice with a cruiser doesn't it becomes really weird that we act like horse cops are normal.
