There’s a lot of people who want to fight fascism yet won’t wear a mask
Fascism & eugenics go hand in hand. They’re coming for the disabled and chronically ill
Wearing a mask shows solidarity with disabled people, while also protecting your health so you’re better equipped for the fight

“Some of These Kids Are Already Lost When They’re Two Years Old”
Louisiana leaders want more leeway to charge kids as adults. A measure on the March 29 ballot would enable lawmakers to move more teenagers into the adult criminal system.

Nearly 13 million people in the U.S. hold green cards.
Tens of thousands more are here temporarily as foreign students and professors.
All are now in danger of being arrested by the Trump regime if they exercise their First Amendment rights.

It's cute and fun when senators act like Social Security is only for retired people, like it's a future speculative thing for people with 401ks to worry about, and not something about 15M disabled people & our families, mostly living below the poverty line, rely on in the current present moment
If Donald Trump & Elon Musk have it their way, your Social Security will be privatized and your benefits will be entirely reliant on the stock market.
If you want a sense of what that'll be like – take a look at your 401k today.

5 years of pro infection Covid policies have made it easy for measles to make a comeback.
People have decided infection control is weakness. Masks are political. Clean air isn’t worth it. Kids need to get sick to get healthy.
We must change the narrative. Mask up. Stay home when sick. Resist.

People assume they’ll be the exception. That disability, poverty, homelessness won’t befall them
That if something “bad” happens, they will be able to “try harder” their way out of it.
This false belief allows them to blame the ones who are suffering, instead of the oppressive systems that trap us

If you think mask bans are “no big deal” because there’s medical exemptions, consider the following:
Police are not doctors
Many disabilities are invisible
Everyone should have the right to protect their health
Criminalizing masks sends a message that maskers are “bad”. It emboldens anti-maskers
