All anti-mask laws—even those with so called “medical exceptions”—stigmatize mask-wearing.
Fewer people wearing masks increases the spread of infectious diseases.
No matter how lawmakers try to spin it, any law that criminalizes wearing a mask endangers public health. Period.
Democrats are on the verge of passing a law that criminalizes wearing a mask in New York, ignoring public health experts.
Call your elected officials and tell them to reject any anti-mask law that endangers public health.

@luckytran also feeds into the denial of privacy in our surveillance nation
@luckytran I'm glad the party is spending their time and energy to play fascists. One would think they are jealous of the spotlight. JFC
@luckytran Democrats are doing this? SMH
@luckytran
Yes! But why do Democrats that? Sure its not about Masking at crime in Bank or stores? Masks secure some from air to get not ill. Mostly. Not sure about few seconds at checkout or less in a bank - cause you can likely 90% of banking online.
Will they arrest the hated ICE agents who are masked up when they grab people off the streets?

@Nochem somebody is going to think these guys are criminals, and they will be shot. They probably are criminals, but you'll get in a lot of trouble if you shoot them
@luckytran Wow, these Dems sure have their priorities straight!
@luckytran what normal reason would you want to ban a medical mask ?
@luckytran how bipartisan
@luckytran how are ICE agents going to keep their anonymity if they can't mask?
The billionaire oligarchs want as many working people, poor and elderly to die as soon as possible so they can enjoy the spoils. If the disease doesn't kill you, you will die in the streets from not having a source of income due to A.I. taking all the jobs and Musk stealing Social Security. That's not rhetorical but cold hard facts.
Hillary Clinton warned this was coming a decade ago.
But.her emails!
NATURE BATS LAST !
@luckytran I saw an article indicating that some company's software could identify a person when that person was using a mask. It probably looks at eye separation, freckles, etc. Given that, "security" does not appear to be a reason to outlaw mask use, at least, the sort of masks used to limit the spread of infectious diseases.
@luckytran Dude. I live in NC and have seasonal allergies. Everything is coated in green pollen right now.
The streets, cars, shopping carts. Everything! I mask anyway, because fuck anti vaxx weirdos. But I don't want to cough all the time from snorking in all this pollen. I put it on before I get out of the car.

Well, look around.

The people funding a fascist movement are more worried about how hoodies, hats, umbrellas, & masks are used to protect the identity of protestors.

@luckytran There are ways to legally wear masks in the US though. You have to join the Musk/Trump Gestapo Force (ICE), or the KKK; both of these orgs have legal protection for wearing masks.
Alberta has some 80 tear old pathologist who insists masks do nothing.
I wonder how many autopsies this guy did without a mask?
I guess AHS can save a lot by not requiring those ineffective masks during surgeries, eh?
Why are conservative voters so stupid?
@luckytran also only #facist #PoliceStates want to be able to track & ID people !
