Holy fucking shit. I fucking hate these people. There's literally no better example of the one party system that the US is than New York. Republicans routinely switch parties (like Eric Adams) and even then most Democrats here are neoliberal ghouls.

You're sitting on a subway train and someone puts on a mask like this and comes in - you don't know if they are going to commiting a crime, they're going to have a gun, or whether they're going to be threatening you because you're Jewish, which is exactly what happened the other day. Absolutely unacceptable in the state of New York.

Yeah heaven forbid you are immunocompromised or live with someone that is in another high risk category. Fuck you, fucking scaremongering ghoul.

read as: people are evading the surveillance state using cheap, inconspicuous masks and we dont want people to take baby formula and clothes from target without paying $100 for 4 items

I just don't even understand how it's politically beneficial to instill fear in people that, under Hochul's rule, the person wearing a mask on the subway may be a terrorist. How does this help her at all?

And look what's already happening in North Carolina:

According to Stuart, she told the man that it was dangerous for her to go into public without a mask because of her diagnosis. It’s not a political statement, she said, and she showed the man a medical card describing her condition.

He then proceeded to approach her and feigned coughing on her repeatedly before telling her that he hopes the cancer kills her, she said.

tbqh if you're not conceptualizing these sorts of people as an honest to God enemy, like the kind you actually go to war with - the kind that represents an existential threat to you and everything you love - you need to be.

In authoritarian America, you cannot wear a medical mask to protect yourself from COVID and bird flu in public or you will be arrested.

I wear a mask because the air is nasty down there

Why even just Dems... omnia New York delenda est
