Funding cuts to PBS and NPR, attempts to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing, Colbert canceled.
Do not take a free press for granted. We need to fight for it.

When you hear it said
(and you will hear it said)
that wearing a mask
at this point
is making a political statement
do not bother arguing,
but instead recognize
that doing what you can
to protect other people
has always been
a political statement.

Your maskless face is a weapon being used by fascists as they dismantle public health.
Do not help them harm BIPOC, disability, trans, immigrant, etc communities, who face greater risk with fewer resources.
Wearing n95 is an act of hope, community care, and resistance.

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.
“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"
Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

F.D.A. Cancels Meeting of Vaccine Experts Scheduled to Advise on Flu Shots
The cancellation plays into fears among scientists who worry that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will use his position as health secretary to sow doubts about vaccines.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

2. Jealous people will never be satisfied. They will demand all your time and attention, and when they are your entire life, they still want more. Jealousy is never romantic and is itself a form of abuse. Leave at the first whiff of it.

A great COVID safer winter activity I've been doing a lot of is skiing. Wearing a mask in the lift lines and indoors plus bringing all the equipment. Plus it's an activity where it's natural to eat outside!

What is interesting to remember here is that they’re giving those respirators to a population that has called them crazy, paranoid, hypochondriacal, doomsaying, and screamed at them to just stay home if they’re scared, for years. One hopes it inspires some reflection.
The org @maskblocla.bsky.social had distributed over 40,000 N95 respirators by the time the city of LA got around to offering free masks to the public. While anti-COVID groups jumped into action as fires spread, local government trailed behind:

Anti-COVID groups distribute masks and air purifiers faster than LA government amidst fires
Groups that popped up to respond to the government's abandonment since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic are distributing resources across the city

A reminder that Los Angeles had its hottest summer in history last year. Southern California has received just 2% of "normal" rainfall during the current "rainy" season.
These fires are a direct result of a warming & drying atmosphere caused by burning fossil fuels.
We are in a climate emergency.

COVID safer travel is possible. Just arrived to the Bay Area in a Cleanspace Halo and didn't have to unmask for TSA. Unmasked after landing to an N95 in a location where the CO2 was below 800.
