I was nervous to write this bc I know all the outlets I called out have a lot more resources than me; however, I’m simply tired of watching journalists bill themselves as leftists while they silently watch us die. Enough.

Mask bans are spreading and we need able bodied people to mask too now more than ever and they’re just not stepping up at all. It’s really showing the government how they actually can just oppress us and get away with it cuz we got no solidarity from anyone else.

Leftists, progressives, liberals... The lesson of COVID is that almost all of them seem to have one thing in common with the right: they don't actually care about vulnerable people enough to help them if requires any effort at all.

I am well aware that all Republicans are out to kill you. Sometimes I forget that it is not just them. You have to look both ways always. Thanks for posting.

It's chilling to have gone from "we're all in this together" to "you're on your own" to "you aren't allowed to protect yourself"

I stopped being disappointed with "leftists" a while ago. They're as bad as the fascists.

Thank you for this! Same goes for UK's Novara Media which I used to subscribe to and support. They'll weigh in on the overburdened NHS in show after show w talk about funding/pay--which, granted is a BIG PART!--but never about how the system might *also* be overstretched b/c of COVID. Unsubbed. 😕

i have the privilege to live in a country/city combo where vaccination hasn’t been destroyed by the pro-disease crowd, and vaccine coverage is near 100% and yet i see people masking in the public transp & crowded events wish things could be better over there too, and thank you for this piece 🙇🏻‍♂️

why the fuck are people banning masks? it's a personal choice for people attempting to either live healthy or to prevent the spread of disease goddammit
