Trump’s 100 day job approval polling is worse than any other president in the last 50 years by a minimum -10. It’s incredible that Republicans and business leaders continue to fall all over themselves to appease such a historically incompetent and epically unpopular leader.

One of the best ways you can help disabled people and fight fascism is by wearing a mask.
Representation and visibility matter. When you wear a mask you tell us you care about making public spaces safe & accessible.
You also make it harder for mask bans to pass.
