If you want to fight authoritarianism, one of the worst things you can do is restrict people’s ability to exercise their first amendment rights. Yet by trying to push through a mask ban, that’s exactly what some New York Democrats are doing.

So great to see groups practicing community care. We need to do this more than ever in light of mass dismantling of government institutions.

In the hands of the right wingers, the term “DEI” is just a handy universal socket wrench for the most offensive slurs orbiting their brains at any given time.

We need to preserve telehealth. I joined this campaign and sent letters to @aoc.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov, and Senator Gillibrand.

“I am an endocrinologist and I work in the Bronx. Preserving telehealth is crucial for my patients.”

Thinking today of Carrie Ann Lucas, a shining light in the world of disability justice who died at 47 from a preventable series of infections because UnitedHealthCare needlessly denied her coverage.

The conciliatory narrative we’re starting to see emerge to sanewash anti-science extremists in Trump’s administration is that “we got school closures wrong.”

Let’s talk about it.

Much like they have done throughout the pandemic, the opinion sections of major papers are killing people by normalizing unqualified quacks with deadly ideas.

“The result of elections around the world have shown that ‘back to normal’ messaging was ineffective, with many incumbent governments losing office in large part due to a failure in acknowledging people’s pain and providing real plans to help people in the long term."

From the authoritarian regime survival guide:

"Oppose any legislation attempting to interfere with freedom of assembly, for whatever reason."

Mask bans are a gateway to wider bans on all forms of protest. We should be do everything we can to stop them.
