DoomsdaysCW<p>The War on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Masks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Masks</span></a> Has Taken on a New Meaning</p><p>This time, the masks have nothing to do with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>COVID19</span></a>.</p><p>By Henry Grabar<br />Feb 05, 20254:57 PM </p><p>"Last month, state legislators in New York introduced a bill that would create a new crime: 'masked harassment.'</p><p>"That, the law explains, is when you wear a mask 'for the primary purpose of menacing or threatening violence against another person' or 'placing another person or group of persons in reasonable fear for their physical safety.'</p><p>"If that seems like a bit of a niche offense—threatening violence is already a crime, after all—it’s because the language has been watered down to attract political support. It’s a sign of New York Democrats’ cautious new approach over masks in public life, and a retreat from last spring, when anti-Israel protests, on top of a widespread urban crime panic, pushed leaders from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to consider mask bans.</p><p>"In its original form, the New York bill would have banned masks at public assemblies entirely. But the outcry from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DisabilityRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DisabilityRights</span></a> advocates, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CriminalJustice</span></a> reformers, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HealthCareWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HealthCareWorkers</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilLiberties" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CivilLiberties</span></a> groups was swift, and so New York wound up with this bill on 'masked harassment' instead.</p><p>"Elsewhere, the pandemic-era leniency on masking in public is over. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthCarolina" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NorthCarolina</span></a> Republicans overrode a gubernatorial veto last summer to once again <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BanPublicFaceCoverings" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BanPublicFaceCoverings</span></a>, except to stop the spread of contagious diseases. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost dusted off an old law to threaten <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StudentProtesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StudentProtesters</span></a> with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/felonies" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>felonies</span></a>. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has asked the state’s Senate to consider a bill to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unmask" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>unmask</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>protesters</span></a> this year.</p><p>"For Republicans, it’s a chance to kill two birds with one stone. They can strike back against the perceived overreach of pandemic-era <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HealthDirectives" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HealthDirectives</span></a> and make it easier to arrest <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/demonstrators" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>demonstrators</span></a> at the same time.</p><p>"In <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ohio" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Ohio</span></a> and North Carolina, the original statutes were written in the 1950s to stop demonstrations by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KuKluxKlan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KuKluxKlan</span></a>, but had been ignored or suspended during the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>pandemic</span></a> and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GeorgeFloydProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GeorgeFloydProtests</span></a>. Many lawmakers have cited the recent demonstrations in defense of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gaza</span></a> as a reason to crack down again. Defending the proposed mask ban in New York, Anti-Defamation League [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ADL" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ADL</span></a>] president Jonathan Greenblatt said the demonstrators were using '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>KKK</span></a> tactics' to intimidate Jewish New Yorkers.</p><p>"That instinct was bolstered by the sense among many city residents and elected leaders that widespread masking was a factor behind the pandemic-era crime spike. That led to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Philadelphia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Philadelphia</span></a> banning <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SkiMasks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SkiMasks</span></a> in parks, on trains, and in public buildings. A more recent, high-profile example came in December with the Midtown Manhattan killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BrianThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BrianThompson</span></a> by a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaskedAssassin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MaskedAssassin</span></a>, which prompted New York Mayor Eric Adams to call for cab drivers and business owners to ask customers to remove their masks. The new New York bill has won over the liberal Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who endorsed the 'tailored' approach. As the police say: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoFaceNoCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NoFaceNoCase</span></a>.</p><p>"For what it’s worth, there are too many confounding variables and too little data to be sure if mask-wearing is associated with crime, said Ernesto Lopez at the Council for Criminal Justice, which collects crime reporting statistics from various cities. 'From a theoretical statement it makes sense that could occur, but it has not been demonstrated that’s the case,' he told me.</p><p>"But if all that weighed in favor of more mask bans, there was also widespread resistance. Disability advocates mobilized to defend the right to mask; North Carolina had to write a medical exemption into their bill at the insistence of a GOP House member. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceReformers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PoliceReformers</span></a> observed that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaskBans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MaskBans</span></a> have often been used for pretextual <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>policing</span></a> and racial profiling against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BlackAmericans</span></a>. (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AtlantaGeorgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AtlantaGeorgia</span></a> tabled a mask ban for that reason.)</p><p>"What looms largest, as the second Trump administration begins, is the role of protest. As Semafor’s Dave Weigel has noted, masks have become a badge of left-wing protest culture. That’s in part an extension of politicized COVID-era concerns about health and civility, but at this point it is mostly a tactic to preserve anonymity in an era of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FacialRecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FacialRecognition</span></a>, streaming video, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/doxing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>doxing</span></a>. Last year, the anonymous <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProIsrael" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ProIsrael</span></a> website the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CanaryMission" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CanaryMission</span></a> posted photographs of hundreds of students and faculty at campus protests and posted their names and photos online, labeling some as supporters of terrorism.</p><p>"'The concern takes on new urgency as Donald Trump pledges to revoke the visas of pro-Palestine protesters, and the Trump-Musk GOP embraces the naming and shaming of otherwise private citizens. A conservative group called the American Accountability Foundation has begun circulating lists of federal workers, many of them Black, who should be <br />'targets' for their alleged involvement in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DEI</span></a> initiatives at work.</p><p>"Clearly, the masked protest does not always sit well with an older generation, many of whom cut their teeth in the protests of the pre-internet age. As Georgetown professor Michael Kazin told the New York Times last year: 'I do think if you are going to demonstrate, and it’s something you feel deeply about, you should be willing to stand up and be counted.'"</p><p>Source:<br /><a href="https://slate.com/business/2025/02/mask-bans-new-york-los-angeles-crime-protests-criminalize-face-coverings.html?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">slate.com/business/2025/02/mas</span><span class="invisible">k-bans-new-york-los-angeles-crime-protests-criminalize-face-coverings.html?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us</span></a><br /><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AuthoritarianRule" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AuthoritarianRule</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigBrother" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BigBrother</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigBrotherIsWatchingYou" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BigBrotherIsWatchingYou</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SurveillanceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SurveillanceState</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SilencingDissent</span></a></p>

Porquerias | 1312 🏴🌵G@K<p>Basically mourning my partner's brain, immune system and maybe death. Because they are in the hospital with a resistant bacterial infection, which I am not actually worried about because it seems like they are on the mend, but there is absolutely no fucking ventilation in that hospital. The staff wear baggy blues and lied that I was "mistreating" them when I asked if there was somewhere safe that my partner could eat their hospital food, somewhere the window could open, or something. </p><p>The eugenicist policy of the only hospital in town is that if you don't like their policy of exposing everyone to COVID then you just don't get care there. They told us we could leave if we "felt unsafe" and I was like no, it's a fact that you are not safe, here in your workplace. </p><p>That apparently translated to me being abusive or something to the head nurse, who indignantly told me that "there is nothing on your partner's chart to indicate that they need a private room" and it's like whoa, that's your fucking protocol for immunocompromised people? No actual protection, no increased ventilation, just a private room, as if COVID wasn't airborne??? They assumed that I wanted a private room, and that I wanted it to be a special snowflake or a bougie elitist or something. Hell no. I don't need a private room. I want everyone in every fucking room to be safe! And you nurses too! </p><p>That's why I say the policies amount to eugenics! It's not a fucking personal slight against you, it's a factual statement about the consequences of your workplace rules! But if I say anything suddenly I'm the crazy guy who is demanding unreasonable things, because I want everyone to be <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/davossafe" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>davossafe</span></a>. </p><p>They dehumanized me in a way that I have experienced before, a way that is extremely triggering. Basically I was labeled a threat because I was saying inconvenient truths and once that label is applied there is nothing I can say or do, no reason I can appeal to. It's fascist bullshit. & my partner went along with the gaslighting and I couldn't convince them to go to a different hospital after they got to sleep and I had been up all night looking after them unable to sleep.</p><p> I don't really know what to do other than get infected by them when they return, because we don't have any space to isolate. Our place is just one little room. I am so fundamentally defeated, like the eugenicists who want me to get COVID again and again until I die have won. There is no way that I can avoid this and still care for the person that I love more than life itself. I might end up actually sacrificing my life for that love, with the way things are going, all because the capitalists who own the hospital decided that it was cheaper to do <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/socialmurder" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>socialmurder</span></a> than to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/upgradeventilation" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>upgradeventilation</span></a> or even put in adequate <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/airfilters" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>airfilters</span></a> or even measure <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/airquality" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>airquality</span></a> at all. The nurse who accused me of mistreating her to her boss when I was politely asking questions in an even tone of voice huffily said that they do PCR tests when I said that the rapid antigen tests didn't work any more, and I was going to call her out and ask if she knew that everyone around had been PCR tested negative, but I was shut down by my partner who was on the side of the eugenicists. </p><p>The nurse said she "was doing everything she can" and I acknowledged that she was, and that this was the problem. But nobody fucking listened to me. Nobody wants to hear anything about how <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/healthcareworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>healthcareworkers</span></a> are the victims of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>eugenics</span></a> COVID policies as well. Because that would make them feel bad, and apparently count as "mistreatment". I can't fucking stand being lied about and gaslighted, it makes me want to actually do everything they accuse me of. But I won't, because I'm actually a sane and self-controlled individual despite how they want to depict me for talking about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/COVIDsafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>COVIDsafety</span></a>. </p><p>My partner said I was "being autistic" and while I have never been labeled as being on the spectrum by a doctor, and that was intended as an insult, I don't find it to be a bad thing, because the autistic people I know are cool and have a strong sense of justice. I for one will keep "being autistic" every day, thank you very much.</p>
Porquerias | 1312 🏴🌵G@K<p>I love being the only person in the busy hospital waiting room wearing an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/N95" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>N95</span></a> including the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HealthCareWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HealthCareWorkers</span></a> lol</p>
Porquerias | 1312 🏴🌵G@K<p>Apparently my dentist died recently. Just keeled over and kicked the bucket while on his morning jog. This is what nobody is acknowledging about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/COVID" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>COVID</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LongCOVID" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LongCOVID</span></a> vascular and neural damage. </p><p>You will probably be fine if you're vaccinated and it will feel like a cold or maybe not even like anything, and then you go to work and spread it, then weeks or even months later when you are trying to go <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BackToNormal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BackToNormal</span></a> and do some light exercise you just die. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HealthcareWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HealthcareWorkers</span></a> need to recognize COVID as a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorkersRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WorkersRights</span></a> and safety issue. They are some of the most at risk people for the effects of long COVID especially because HCWs in the USA have a culture of emphasizing exercise and also sleep deprivation. I'm no immunologist but that seems like a risk factor to me.</p>
