Even if you don’t care about the health of others - you should be masking RIGHT NOW to protect yourself. Disabled people have been telling you for years there is NO help when you become chronically ill. This won’t improve in the next 4 years. Protecting your health is paramount

real progressives wear masks. solidarity is inconvenient. hope goes uphill. politics are other people.

I know it sucks to admit you were wrong when you stopped masking. It sucks to acknowledge that you’ve harmed people by spreading disease. It sucks to accept that COVID is dangerous. But you can decide RIGHT NOW to wear a high-quality mask in public spaces again. I believe in you!

I know people with master’s degrees in both public health and public policy from Berkeley who don’t mask and had the audacity to ridicule me when I told them that’s why I don’t see them in person anymore. No amount of education can make you a decent person.

Congratulations: You’ve survived the first five years of an ongoing SARS2 pandemic.

It's ridiculous to call yourself a leftist when you're this comfortable with ableism.

It just always baffles me how people will claim they’re gonna fight for marginalized people and start a revolution but then get so mad any time the people they’re supposedly fighting for actually speak up about what they need Like you’re literally just recreating the same system

the solidarity socialists & so-called leftists are dead set on cultivating is solidarity with state power. to not even be able to spend a moment contemplating disability justice is to be committed to denial & denial itself is a colonialist position aligned with systems of death

Leftists thinking disabled people at large are psyops during a pandemic seems like one of those things that should be widely recognized as a huge problem. In fact, I'm not saying that's a psyop bc it's just ableism, but that's exactly the kind of rumor I'd start if I was the CIA.

What do you call a state that drops $80,000 bombs from $150M war planes on children in $100 dollar tents? The west calls it the “victim”

the leftist conversations about disabled people always lead to “useless eater” lmao y’all are so predictable

Activism works 💜 To any leftists who have stopped masking, we welcome you back. We will all need to unite

"You can’t build a mass movement that forces everyone to mask in 2024. It’s not where the people are" effective communist orgs develop a principled line and fight to make it reality. They don't craft their line around what they assume people (inc reactionaries) will agree with

covid is a feminist issue. women are twice as likely to develop long covid and predominantly occupy the jobs with the most covid exposure: teaching, retail, childcare, etc. why aren’t feminist orgs talking about this?

“When people see me in a mask, they’re reminded of the acute phase of the pandemic. My presence confronts them with an uncomfortable truth: their refusal to mask contributes to the deaths & disabling of others. It reveals they may not be as caring as they like to think.”🎯 🧵/1

“What, are you going to wear a mask forever?!?!” is truly the absurd question equivalent of asking me “Are you going to take care of your body forever?!?!”

CNN should fire Clarissa Ward. You went to a prison in Syria where people were being TORTURED HORRIFICALLY and told the world one of the TORTURERS WAS A VICTIM. Are you fucking kidding me?!

Good. Generations of human beings were held captive, tortured, raped, mutilated, and worked to death in plantations. Let the sadistic ghouls who wanna hold their weddings and parties at Nottoway find another concentration camp for their happy occasion.
