@KimberlyRatliff Email campaign to stop HB 237 from passing in NC House of Representatives: info at https://the-maskers-comic.yolasite.com/stophb237 We need to send these emails out to the NC House of Reps (since it already passed in the Senate), whether you live there or not! We want to amplify that this is not ok, and that you won't be visiting, traveling there, etc... it's really a violation of both human and constitutional rights so we can all respond.

I think it is really important we speak out against this bill as it could be copy-catted in other states, and its just messed up, so I started an email campaign: TIME-SENSITIVE!: Join the email campaign to stop HB 237 from passing in NC House of Representatives! If passed, this bill will make it illegal to wear a mask in public even for medical reasons, more info at https://the-maskers-comic.yolasite.com/stophb237 We need to send these emails out ASAP!

The US government is ending the program that provides free COVID vaccines to people who are uninsured and underinsured.

This is a public health failure that will further decrease already low vax rates, and puts marginalized communities at greater risk.

@noyes @thepoliticalcat @luckytran Well I didn't call any of the voters or nonvoters toilet scum because I understand not wanting Trump, but also I cannot vote for Biden when he keeps cutting all the OCVID programs, shitting on masks, ignoring long covid, and basically saying my life is worthless and not being a leader at all through this. So whatever happens... its sad... this situation is toilet scum...

@thepoliticalcat @luckytran The Republicans may be cutting funding in the legislative branch, but thats why we have branches. Biden isn't vetoing, he isn't leading, he's the one who announced the pandemic over bc ppl weren't masking at his little car show, he's the one who modeled to everyone his to ignore mask recommendations after close exposure, flaunting taking it off, he's the one spreading complacency by ending the PHE, using skewed stats and ignoring the long covid protesters on his lawn

@thepoliticalcat @luckytran Biden has done absolutely nothing to help us in the fight towards Covid, only has harmed us, only has modelled denialism, gaslighting, cowwing, throwing the vulnerable under the bus, trying to tell us that's what we need to do to beat the Trumpers, when all that does is turn us into them.

I cant believe this bill is about to get passed! https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/north-carolina-bill-curb-mask-wearing-protests-make-110230926

It's just unacceptable.. there's a change petition https://chng.it/6kf5XTsv6t and people we need to email tonight/before 9am Wed morning (5-15), this endangers us / violates rights!

I've been grieving and processing a covid-conscious friend's death, and so far the grief has been quite private, but I put together a document on the biopsychosocial issues faced by our covid-conscious community. I want people to know they aren't alone facing these challenges, that there are things you can do to be prepared before a crisis happens. I want people to know that Covid itself can cause mental health risks. Please feel free to share this resource:

@adachika192 @palestine Sometimes I just think of breaking things into terms of school yard fight. A fight breaks out, one person starts it... Punches a kid, The other kid gets hit, he punches back, a friend of thr first jumps in hits him, he hits them back, then others come to watch, pick sides... Then the teachers start giving them guns... Bigger and bigger guns... Wait . What? No. That's not what should happen, right? They should break up the fight. They should hold them both back.

If you do not provide a virtual option, you shouldn't be allowed to say the words "accessibility". God knows you aren't providing a masked and ventilated area, or testing and educating people on proper isolation, all while is blooming out there, still killing 1000/wk, injuring and disabling more-- so the least you can do is open a lap top and zoom it live, it takes minimal effort to have a person do that and give space to those with the "disability" of not being a callous ignorant jerk.

🧵 1/3 MEASLES CURRENT CDC GUIDELINES STILL MAKE NO REFERENCE TO THE USE OF N-95 RESPIRATORS OR PREFERENCE OVER SURGICAL MASKS. https://www.cdc.gov/infectioncontrol/guidelines/measles/index.htm

Persons with signs or symptoms of measles should be identified, provided a facemask (2) to wear, and separated from other patients prior to or as soon as possible after entry into a facility.

(2) A facemask is a term that applies collectively to items used to cover the nose and mouth and includes both procedure masks and surgical masks.

Made some updates to my covid awareness and advocacy site on the homepage https://the-maskers-comic.yolasite.com , trying to get the words and information in there just right to match and address the current vibes out there... but it is still like a message in a bottle that I am not sure anyone will find, read, and take to heart in a way that would connect us all again. Feel free to give feedback.

@ianoji @luckytran Well for one these are intentionally not being stopped, for 2 they are intentionally not being accurately counted, and for 3 it kills abd disabled beyond the acute infection which is intentionally downplayed and ignored. Also.. unintentional deaths will probably increase due to cognitive and psychological brain damage and increased mistakes from stress of working while sick, multiple illnesses, etc.

There is a reason the vax rate is low and we can't just say it's because everyone is crazy because that is gaslighting too. We need to admit it starts back with the government and CDCs dishonesty in the beginning of all this, including lying about covid being airborne and the benefits of n95s because back they were afraid of panic and shortages. There messaging was inconsistent and dishonest. 1/2

themaskerscomic,
@themaskerscomic@forall.social avatar

Instead of relying on pushing vaxxes and using low vax rate to shift the blame from them to people not getting them, they should admit their wrongs, go back to square one and start promoting less invasive, non medical things like wearing N95 masks that filter out the virus to prevent infection- And we will see infections and long covid numbers fall. That is how you build back trust.

“Mr. President, your father Joseph Biden Sr. has said, ‘Don’t tell me what you value. Show me your budget, and I’ll tell you what you value,’” they wrote.

Activists invited the head of the CDC, Mandy Cohen, NIH director Monica Bertagnolli, Biden’s top health officials, Xavier Becerra and Rachel Levine, and all 21 members of the Senate health committee to their demonstration in D.C. this week. Yet as of Friday, none have said they’re coming.
