Eugenics --> fascism
If you don't like the fascism, don't participate in the eugenics.

btw he's not posting this because he actually DOESN'T understand why people would be wearing masks in 2026.
he's posting this because he doesn't like that people are doing it, and he wants his massive following to also question it and go after people for doing it.

I've seen people recommend having a medical mask on hand in case of needing to cover your face while observing ICE.
PLEASE wear the mask at all times in public instead!!
Don't use accessibility tools as a thing to hide behind. The fash would love an excuse to take them away.

If R Kelly was on video assaulting a girl who was not Black, we would have never heard from his ass again. It makes me the maddest that MeToo started because Black girls and women are not believed or supported when we are harmed sexually. y’all took that movement from us and effectively killed it.

They want to pay us less so they can accrue more profit to themselves. They want us to feel precarious so we are captive to capitalist hierarchies instead of building our own sustainability. And they want to give us non-human villains to fight so we don't notice that it's them.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

That's nothing new. Police are the #1 expense literally of every city in America. They collect a salary but they're not exempt from overtime. So they sit in cars doing nothing until someone calls on the radio to come stand around doing nothing together. Then they privately work off the clock.

Another excellent reason to always wear a respirator. If you've cared for parents you know you want to do everything and anything not to develop that condition. In the later years of the disease you have zero quality of life and go broke paying for care. It's awful for your family, too. 😷🧠😷

my takeaways reading about a bunch of horrific shit in history is that the things you want are:
-to have hiding spaces
-to not let the state disarm you (small arms genuinely matter even when artillery exists)
-to maintain access the means of communication
-to build diplomatic ties with outsiders

I had this same question. Law enforcement couldn’t find the Ring data. Then suddenly they found it. That’s concerning for all of us who care about our privacy.
Um.
