Republican supporters of the ban said it would help police crack down on protesters who wear masks

House Bill 237 would ban everyone, not just protesters, from wearing masks in public for medical reasons if it becomes law. It passed 30-15, with every Republican in favor and every Democrat opposed.

This was always the end goal let’s be honest. Any time the marginalized repurpose a tool for use to benefit all, it’s always going to be swiftly squashed. Especially in a surveillance state

“Bug bug bug my China is a surveillance state!!!!!!1111” OK? But it seems that most of the people living in China can afford to live (i.e. the bare fucking minimum)

The bar doesn’t even exist in amerikkka
