This is the exact attitude that makes it so hard for disabled people to survive.
It’s this attitude that made mask bans easy to pass.
We can’t “just stay home” forever, nor should we have to.
A well fitted respirator & clean air would make us much safer.
Instead they ban masks & toss us aside

Covid is a social justice issue.
Respirators cost money.
HEPA filters cost money.
Tests cost money.
Vaccines cost money.
Paid time off is rare.
Affordable child care is non existent
Covid disproportionately impacts those who are already the most marginalized
Mask up & protect your community

Earlier, federal agents shot a protester in the eye. Vincent is an ER nurse and said he came to the protest at the ICE facility in South Portland after a shift. Other protesters called an ambulance for him, but he had to walk several blocks to meet it, due to the munitions still flying.

These “facilities” are quickly becoming death camps… and far too many people are looking the other way.
We can’t be silent in the face of atrocities just because we aren’t the target. We must speak up for those being harmed, killed & othered.

We Need Mandatory Masking in Healthcare, and We Need it Now.
"Healthcare facilities should set the tone when it comes to masking. They should help patients protect themselves from Covid and other threats. Instead they push droplet dogma and put lives at risk."

Thank you, Congressman Al Green (TX) @algreen.house.gov ✊🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is the energy, the voice and the representation ‘we the people’ need right now!
SS, Medicare and Medicaid are a lifeline for so many of us.

So I told all my girlfriends to get up to date on their vaccines. I am going to say this again. Do it now before they are not covered by insurance. Or eliminated. Or cost $500.
