AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in.
If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place.
AP stands alone.
Sad but true.

It’s 2025, but it feels like 2020 all over again.
Rising cases. Silent spread. Weak surveillance. A dangerously slow response.
We've seen this before hesitation, denial, and then chaos. The clock is ticking. Will we act in time?

the harmful policies of this administration will be reproduced within your body— which will thus go on to impact others— unless you make a conscious effort to prevent them. wear a mask.
it’s really something to see supposed ~for the people mass movements push back on new admin’s harmful policies~ with so few masks
folks public health is only as good as the bodies thru which it is applied—no one’s doing it for you anymore.
if you don’t participate in prevention, it doesn’t work.

Hi! Are you on Medicaid and were you essentially turned away from the ER by being told that it isn't clear that you care would be covered due to Medicaid portal issues? Email me at jmetraux@motherjones.com

You want to be more involved in community care? Wear a mask. You want to be an ally for the most vulnerable like disabled people and people of color? Wear a mask. You talk about revolution but it means nothing if you’re not masking. By masking, you’re preventing death and disability.

Some disabled and chronically ill people don't have access to doctors who will write them notes to advocate for them to work from home. That's why blanket return to office mandates that do acknowledge the ADA can harmful, especially as more people become disabled via Long Covid.

Don’t underestimate the impact you’re making when you choose to wear a mask.
You’re protecting your health & the health of your community. You’re helping ease the burden on our healthcare system.
You’re standing in solidarity with disabled people & telling the government that no one is expendable

They were killed in the Eaton fire while waiting for an ambulance that never arrived.
Many disabled people can not evacuate on their own. They need to be included in evacuation plans (yet almost never are)

Buying masks for myself (and my students) for another semester. It is so exhausting and demoralizing and EXPENSIVE to take basic safety precautions while the government refuses to provide free resources.

When you feel yourself becoming complacent or surrendering to hopelessness or apathy, remember that everything that exists today exists because someone(s) dreamt it up and decided to put in the work to make it a reality. We can create new ways of doing things, new ways of being, new worlds.
