    You can make the absolute best masks using gelatin…old special FX lol. You can make a bunch of scars or big lips etc. Wear a wig. A year ago this would be so LOL! Now its reality. Like you gotta disguise yourself to get the privacy we used to have.

    In California we’re trying to ban masks on ICE, in New York, they are banning them on citizens.

    You alright, New York? How is that mayor still around, guys?

      Everyone absolutely hates Adams, but NYC is run by landlords.

      This upcoming election is a litmus test of what’s to come. Zohran is so INCREDIBLY popular, and Cuomo and Adams are detested. If one of those manages to win it means the will of the people is dead.

      In a time where we just had a fucking pandemic they now want to ban masks that is fucking ridiculous. and also would go against people’s religious rights and certain situations as well like that’s completely unconstitutional.

    Registered Democrats in NYC: you have the chance to make a difference right now! Vote early now or show up June 24 for the NYC mayor primary. Fully fill out your ballot with five ranked choices. Exclude sexual abuser Cuomo from your ballot because even if you put him last it could in theory help him.

    Corrupt mayor supports administration that dropped case against him in return for support on immigration policies.

    So masks are fine for fascists commiting mass arrests, but not for citizens protesting those same fascists.

    Oh no, bad behaviour! Anything but that!

    Remember, any resistance to fascist takeovers must be well-behaved

      Well behaved as in a wild west high noon standoff. The first to flinch, and resort to serious violence will lose a LOT of public support.

      Violence now doesn’t gain much. It needs the over and support of a larger movement. It also needs to be focused, to not simply dissipate the anger.

      Right now, America is getting back into the habit/flow of protesting. That alone should make an intelligent government nervous. Don’t dip the stew over their heads, until it’s good and boiling.

      (And to clarify. I’m not saying to follow all rules, like good little drones. Bad behaviour just needs to be conscious and controlled)

        You mean like the magat nazi terrorist who MURDERED two elected Democrats on Saturday? Or the other terrorist who tried to run over peaceful protestors? Or the one in Utah who tried to commit a mass shooting, causing an innocent bystander to get killed?

        Yea it’s a good thing serious violence hasn’t happened yet.

          Unfortunately, that’s not the type that counts. It’s the government backed/condoned that matters. The sort that even fox news would struggle to spin. The sort that should cause heads to roll within government organisations.

          A few " " “lone wolves” " " can be disavowed, no matter how heinous the act they do. Unless you can tie it unambiguously to the powers that rule.

          It’s a fucking shitty situation, but that’s the rules we are stuck working within. To change them, we have to win. To win, we need to play (mostly) within the rules.

          Fyi, the same could also apply to left wing “lone wolves”. Without the media, it’s harder to spin, but doable. If they happen to meet up and organise at a march, that’s nothing to do with the march. 😇

        Shortly thereafter, the two regents and their secretary were defenestrated, but they survived the 70-foot (21-metre) fall from the third floor. Catholics maintained the men were saved by angels or by the intercession of the Virgin Mary, who caught them; later Protestant pamphleteers asserted that they survived due to falling onto a dung heap, a story unknown to contemporaries and probably coined in response to divine intervention claims. Philip Fabricius was later ennobled by the Emperor and granted the title Baron von Hohenfall (literally ‘Baron of Highfall’)

        Just make sure you do it right this time. Last thing we need is Eric Adams getting knighted.

      If you know the words, sing along!

      Conservatism has one tenet, to wit - There must be an in-group who is protected by the law but not bound by the law, and an out-group who is bound by the law but not protected by it

      Nothing wrong with protesting anonymously, just so long as you do it with a badge and a gun, and you’re “protesting” by snatching people off the street and throwing them into unmarked vans for deportation.
