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.

Every fascist uses illness and violence to disable opponents.
They disable us with covid, poverty, police violence, climate destruction, war, transphobia.
They count on ableism to make us deny this reality and to abandon each other.

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

UCP staffers and candidates are using fringe issues to make people angry and afraid.
What's worse?
They're blatantly misrepresenting what's actually happening.
This isn't leadership, it bad faith gamesmanship at its worst.
And vulnerable youth will pay for it.
