@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.
This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

This week my younger son decided to stop masking after being COVID-aware for 5+ years.
Despite the fact that he got rhabdomyolysis from his first infection (was hospitalized for 5 days), his Dad has just completed chemo, & his brother & Mum have had Long COVID for 5+ years.
And now he is sick -

No, you're being asked to a) read the details of the MOU, and b) understand the political and economic landscape on which it exists.
If there's no deal around industrial pricing next year, the whole thing vanishes and the regulations you're pining over still go into force.

An exceptional reason to mask and test! There are now combo flu/covid tests and while they aren’t perfect, having everyone take one before meeting for Thanksgiving could save people from at best a week of misery and at worst disability or death. A no brainer.
Got the flu last year on Thanksgiving and it really sucked. Obviously vaccine is no guarantee you won’t get it, but it’s basically free with no downside and is, imho, a no-brainer.
