Hello, I was disabled by Flu A and wearing a mask protects you from Flu too! Fight fascism, wear a mask!
Disabled people have been sounding the alarm about fascism for five years now. Pandemics lead to fascism. They excuse the deaths of the most vulnerable first. How do you not become vulnerable like us? Wear a mask! If you become disabled from Covid, they’ll excuse your death too.

Another day, another attempted mask ban. This time in Maryland.
Please, if you stopped masking we really need you to start again. It will reduce the number of Covid and flu cases, but it will also help normalize masks as a health tool.

Never forget that masking is more than just protecting yourself from covid.
It’s an act of compassion, resistance, solidarity and community care.
It shows that you don’t believe people are expendable. That you refuse to be responsible for someone else’s suffering.
The kindness is in the trying.

After Trump was elected, I started to wonder what could the grassroots, cities, and states do to move the needle on climate change without federal support. It turns out, a lot (gift link)
What Can US Cities and States Do for the Climate Under Trump? Plenty
Federal progress on climate may stall, but city halls and statehouses are in a good position to build on recent gains.
