#MaskBan
It’s time to boycott the Kennedy Center.
Trump has taken a great American arts institution and started destroying it (like he does with everything he touches)
The Center announced an employee mask ban today, putting the lives of staff and patrons at risk.
Employees must obtain a doctor’s note if they feel their disability merits wearing a mask. They will be forced to divulge medical information to their employer.
Even if they successfully jump through all the hoops, they will be removed from a public facing role.
Everyone needs the right to protect their health. You shouldn’t need to already be disabled to be “allowed” to avoid COVID.
This is about optics and control. They want to promote the narrative that COVID is over, even though they know it’s not true.
This is an inevitable consequence of failure to normalize masks. Please if you can wear a mask, wear one now.
It won’t be long before the fascists ban them altogether.

Aux États-Unis, les camarades luttent contre les #MaskBan : des lois qui interdisent officiellement le port du masque dans l'espace public.
Ces lois sont validistes, eugénistes, racistes, mortifères.
La France n'est pas à l'abri de les voir arriver un jour, surtout si on ne se masque qu'en manif ! Il sera alors plus simple pour le pouvoir de prétendre que le masque ne sert qu'à cacher le visage des vilains black blocs représentant un danger pour la vie des pauvres vitrines innocentes 😱🥺
@MarionDonnelly @luckytran I'd say this as a matter of #PublicHealth.
- #YellowFever #VaccineMandates are older than me and I think it's only reasonable to #mandate #vaccines espechally since governments refuse to reintroduce #MaskMandate|s but push for #MaskBan|s.
I guess having Pre-Boomers die of old age is the problem because many #Boomers got raised by #Polio #survivors flexing the #trauma of loosing up to 75% of their classmates by threatening to disown them if they didn't #Vaccinate their children!
- This isn't a matter of choice: We mandated #helmets for #motorcylists and #SeatBelts in #Cars for over half a century and this has been a net positive for everyone!
In recent weeks & days, the #Trump admin began a review of $9B in federal contracts & grants to #Harvard; called for restrictions including a #MaskBan & *#DEI* removal; threatened to strip Harvard of its #TaxExempt status; & demanded info on some #visa holders at Harvard w/ a threat to take away its ability to enroll #foreign #students.
Harvard on Monday rejected numerous demands that it said would cede control to the govt. The Trump admin subsequently said it was freezing $2.3B in funding.

Apparently Columbia University has agreed to Trump administration demands:
But I'd still urge US folks to call their congress rep to say these kind of research funding cuts are unacceptable.
You can remind your congress rep that ME/CFS research is badly underfunded.
You can also say ME/CFS patients are against mask bans because masks are needed to protect our health!

New York Governor Hochul is trying to sneak a mask ban into the budget, despite the opposition of many disabled & high risk people who NEED masks to safely access public spaces.
Criminalizing masks during an airborne pandemic, while measles is on the rise, is dangerous, ableist & eugenicist.
Call and email elected officials and tell them you oppose mask bans and that medical exemptions are NOT sufficient

@thetyee it also taught governments that #democide and #genocide by criminal #neglect and action (i.e. #MaskBan) is acceptable and won't result in #accountability or #consequences...
If you think mask bans are “no big deal” because there’s medical exemptions, please consider the following:
😷 Police are not doctors
😷 Many disabilities are invisible
😷 Disabled people don’t live in a bubble. I need my friends and caregivers to mask to protect me
😷 Everyone should have the right to protect their health, you shouldn’t have to already be sick to be permitted to mask
😷 Criminalizing masks sends a message that maskers are “bad”. It emboldens anti-maskers and increases odds of aggression
The reality is that mask bans are discriminatory, ableist and eugenicist. They push disabled people out of public spaces. They put marginalized and POC at increased risk of police profiling.
There’s no official policy for a medical exemption either, it’s at police discretion.
If you’re stopped and questioned, you will have to prove you’re masking for the “right reasons”
I’m more than willing to admit that if I were stopped by a cop for masking, I would appear nervous, shaky, tachycardic and probably “suspicious”.
Not because I’m doing anything wrong, but because my illnesses do not respond well to stress and the police are stressful.
It’s not right to put the onus on the masker to defend their right to mask. We’re still in a global pandemic. Texas has a measles outbreak. There’s tuberculosis in Kansas. Bird flu is spreading and it’s the worst year for influenza A in over a decade.
Masks are a public health tool. They’re a disability accommodation. They should NOT be criminalized.
For more on mask bans and medical exemptions, I wrote an article on the Nassau County ban here:

Today #NH is hearing #HB361 in the education policy and administration committee.
IT PROHIBITS REQUIRING MASKS IN SCHOOLS.
I’m going to wait to make public comment on that one because I want to see what evidence people introduce, but when we make public comment online we can upload links they actually appreciate it. They get kind of annoyed when we talk about studies or statutes but then we don’t upload them.
I’ll put the link in the replies in case anyone can help me oppose this house bill. They’ll be taking public comment until 11:59 PM tonight.

#MaskBan (that’ll be next)
Hey they introduced a bill to ban masks in Maryland. This is not ok.

@GatekeepKen fubfuckibgtastic, so like with #COVID19 vecause some place didn't get their shit together everyone else suffers?
(Okay, the non-enforcement of #MaskMandate|s and even introduction of #MaskBan|s isn't tueir fault, but coveribg up a #SARS epidemic since at least August when it became common klowledge by doctors in the "P.R." #China is!)
North Dakota becomes the latest state to try & enact a mask ban
Pay particular attention to this part of the bill
“With intent to conceal the identity of individual while congregating in a public place with any other individual wearing a mask”
Being masked with other maskers should NOT be a crime

Columbia University NY: Professor Submits #MaskBan Proposal
Medical mask exception -it’s not clear what documentation is required to prevent being unmasked, fined, harassed, jailed
https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/01/28/columbia-professor-submits-mask-ban-proposal-to-university-senate/
@micchiato exactly that!
- The removal of #MaskMandate|s if not enacting #MaskBan|s must be deemed an act if #democide and #genocide!
