🚨Jessica S. Tisch’s decision to shield the officers who murdered Kawaski Trawick from any consequences whatsoever is shameful, and releasing that decision at 5PM last Friday is a mark of absolute cowardice. My statement along with my LGBTQIA+ caucus co-Chair Erik Bottcher:

“They’ll say we’re disturbing the peace, but there is no peace. What really bothers them is that we are disturbing the war.” Howard Zinn 1971

If you aren’t putting together that every protest movement in our country gets met with hyper militarized police force except white supremacists it’s easy to miss your rights being swept away as well

The precedent being set by police brutality against peaceful protesters at a time when Trump is leading in the polls should have us all deeply concerned for what’s coming. Democrats need to stop playing into the hands of the far right like this.

This country has more force for student protesters than they did for Jan. 6 or white supremacists marching through campuses with Tiki torches.

None of this should surprise you. @[email protected] Stephanie Tait ♿️ Laura Miers & many others have repeatedly stated for years that ignoring an ongoing (preventable) global mass death, mass disabling, mass inequity event would lead to rising fascist state-sanctioned violence.

The nationwide police crackdown on peaceful student protestors is an unacceptable violation of freedom of speech. Students are calling on us to save lives in Gaza. With 35K Palestinians killed, hostages still held by Hamas & millions facing starvation, we need a #CeasefireNOW.

While Republicans are responsible for mask bans, the Biden White House is also complicit. They prematurely told the public to unmask in 2021, they encouraged governors to repeal mask mandates, they said states should decide mask policies, they forced workers back into offices.

When you hear anyone in the news say "during the pandemic" or "post-pandemic", this is what they are talking about:

Reminder that the inconvenience of wearing a mask really does not compare with the inconvenience of years of severe illness, disability, and financial ruin #LongCovid

Sadly the patient being masked and the doctor unmasked as seen in this CDC stock photo is an accurate portrayal of reality for Long COVID and COVID cautious patients.

UPDATE: NY Governor Kathy Hochul said on CNN last night that she is considering a ban on masks. Governor Kathy Hochul this is absolutely shameful! New York has suffered so much from COVID, and COVID is not over. We should be normalize and depoliticizing masks, not banning them.
