From now on, when anyone asks how we’re going to pay for it, the answer should be we’ll take it out of the teargas budget.

During circle time today, my daughter's class processed seeing a man get detained by ICE outside of their school.
Last week ICE pulled guns outside of my 7 y.o school. Today, it was outside of my 10 y.o's school.
Repubs want us to fear adults in drag around kids, I'm afraid of ICE agents in masks.

The meeting began
with an icebreaker:
“which of your skills
would be most useful
if you found yourself
sent back in time
to the Middle Ages?”
and as I looked around
at all the unmasked faces
I was tempted to say:
I know how to
avoid the plague,
but instead I just said:
I can knit.

Fascism doesn’t win by convincing everyone.
It wins by exhausting you.
By making decency seem radical.
By making resistance seem futile.
By normalizing the absurd until you forget how bad it really is.
Fascism has no place in a just world.
Not now.
Not ever.

The Pandemic Never Ended
Five years after Covid arrived on these shores, many believe the anxieties of the plague years are in the rearview mirror. But the threat is far from over.

This is why we say that popping on a mask when you go to the grocery store is a chance to resist creeping fascism. It’s a simple way to refuse this training to abandon others.
Despite its falsity, RFK Jr's message resonates with many Americans. Because it gives them a sense of protection against the risks they face and a sense of permission to not feel bad for others who do experience harm.
At an event in W. Va. Friday, RFK Jr. "called on Americans to eat better and exercise" for "pandemic preparedness."
He said otherwise healthy people did not die from Covid-19, but @sherylnyt.bsky.social found that 30% who died were otherwise healthy.

Wake up. Please.
After this many years
of the ongoing pandemic
we should all understand
ignoring an outbreak
of a dangerous virus
does not make
that virus disappear,
ignoring an outbreak
of a dangerous virus
only makes
people’s lives disappear.

Tuberculosis outbreaks in Kansas and North Carolina and yet I’ve not seen a single media outlet mention wearing masks.
In fact masks are banned in North Carolina.
A good respirator protects from more than just Covid. The people deserve to know how to keep themselves safe.
