If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask.

If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask.

If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask.

If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask.

Ok, let’s deal with this before we all just give up and start partying like it’s our last day alive on Earth.
This dust carrying particles of H5N1 infected feces will then go on to contaminate water sources, thus spreading the virus even further, hence causing more transmission and more opportunities for mutation. The virus is now here to stay in North America.

So a reminder:

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.

It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.

It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.

For the record.
