In the middle of all this the inflatable costume crowd has arrived and is throwing a rave? Mosh? At the end of the free speech zone closest to the ICE facility.

A smattering of n95s and other masks at Rockridge, Oakland. We stood masked at the edge, but not disabled.

So many folks in my mentions feeling terrible for not being able to protest today b/c of disability, illness, or mental health: GIVE YOURSELF GRACE

It’s GOOD for us to find as many ways to fight as possible. The bigger the variety of resistance the better. All you have to do is anything. That’s it.

Disabled folks feeling guilty for not protesting today: *it is not your fault* that organizers don’t make an effort to make protests accessible and don’t encourage masking

And despite what folks on Bluesky would have you believe, there are MANY ways to resist and protests don’t have to be your way
