agents of the state wearing gaiters ≠ protecting yourself and your neighbors. the distinctions matter, just as preventing infection does.
joining the chorus of folks asking for care with language re: ICE covering faces—yes, they use nonmedical face coverings, meanwhile, the right has been&continues to be against mask/respirator use to protect oneself &others to the extent of bans—we must make the distinction AND normalize medical use.
resist mainstreaming the far right & their ideals with choices you make every day—an easy one is to wear a respirator in, at the very least, public indoor spaces.
needless spread of novel & thought-to-be-gone pathogens has been key to the eugenicists playbook. prevent it.

As I read this, I'm thinking about the man I interviewed who had to be hospitalized from the Covid he caught at the poultry processing plant and he got fired for it and he still has long Covid
During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures

DC already had evening curfews in effect to keep kids out of Navy Yard and areas of NoMa, mind you. Scores of cops posted up and groups walking around to funnel kids out of the neighborhood and show force.
Now everyone is getting that treatment.
