with every new video of Mamdani effortlessly crossing something off NYC’s To-Do List, I grow more convinced that liberals didn’t try to stop him (just) because they fear socialist principles, but because they fear that they’re gonna have to actually Do Stuff
On a similar note, as Mamdani continues to notch W after W you’re going to start seeing opinion pieces about how this could never work in any city other than New York, etc., etc. Do not engage! It’s just entrenched power bullshit and that’s all! Don’t let them make that a conversation!

Maybe they don’t want respirator masks in hospitals because patients suffering heart attacks, strokes, cancer, kidney failure etc might ask why people are wearing masks.
And someone might tell them.
And they’d figure out why they’re sick.
And they’d realise they’d been lied to.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

👏🏻 and it even emphasis that Covid spreads both through droplet AND airborne transmission, being more predominantly spread by the airborne route.
However, that greater preference towards airborne transmission doesn’t mean that it only spreads via the airborne route to those that make that mistake.

This is happening everywhere, not just the few locations mentioned in the article. The clinic run by Wash U in STL closed over the summer. Only to reopen, after the grass roots work by the patient population. But it is only open 1 day a week and serviced by 1 NP. It’s not sustainable! #longcovid
