“Carolina governor vetoes masks bill largely because of provision about campaign finance”

“The bill now heads back to the state legislature. Republicans hold narrow veto-proof majorities at the General Assembly, which overrode all 19 of Cooper’s vetoes last year.”

“Anti-Mask Laws Target Gaza Protests, But They Threaten All Progressive Movements”

“Fresh anti-mask efforts are also underway in Ohio, Texas and Florida. These laws threaten to effectively criminalize anyone attempting to protect themselves — whether from political repression or airborne illness.”

Warning: Twitter link

This person who seems to have a lot more people on their side than I do is going up against the #antimask #COVIDdenial #eugenicist policies of Commerce Bank twitter.com/Helenreflects/stat and I really hope they can successfully sue the place for #discrimination and make an example of them so that places like the shitty credit union that discriminated against me and gaslighted me about it will be put on notice. #CovidIsntOver and #Covidinfection is no joke. Being forced to remove your mask, no matter if it's "momentarily", is a risk that nobody should have to take.

X (formerly Twitter)Helen De Cruz on XHere's the sign. In an ongoing public health situation, especially with an uptick in cases, it should be the case that customers can protect themselves if they wish with a mask.

My #AntiMask relative got on another kick now that #N95 #masks are recommended for #wildfire #smoke. While trying to demonstrate how evil #COVID mask #mandates are, he accidentally showed me a video explaining what I've told him all along: #ClothMasks are effective at reducing COVID #transmission because the COVID #virus requires the protection of a saliva droplet to be effectively transmitted. Cloth masks catch most of these droplets. That left him speechless.

I'm wearing my red fancy dress & walking around garden to cheer myself up.

I'm talking to more legal advisors next week. Getting #UVIC #law centre help on BC #HumanRights commission complaint. Collecting witness affidavits from neighbours - including one who talked to frustrated paramedic who empathized & understood my anger towards #antimask #Saanich PD storming our home without legal cause.
Not giving up. Just tired & disheartened. Still angry at the #injustice & want justice.

The Next #COVID19 is COVID-19 Dept: This should have been a banner communication at #CDC and is why the #Pandemic is still very much a #NatSec issue - *we got lucky* in that we didn't wind up with that potential #AndromedaStrain #Variant.If that had occurred #AntiMask #Antivax factions alone could have led to two to five million additional deaths domestically.If you've lost friends, neighbors or loved ones the idea that we got lucky is of course anathema.The point is not meant to provoke offense

@pezmico Those are technically "good odds" if they just happen once, and has limited impact. However, it's not just COVID by itself.

1d10 for measles. 1d10 for mumps. 1d10 for polio. 1d10 for shingles. 1d10 for breakthrough variants. Finally, 1d1 for rabies.

All those rolls will be the end result of #AntiVax and #AntiMask groups.
