I'd like to point out to anyone who thinks that "you do you" public health is sustainable that it's illegal to wear a mask in many public places in the US. This has only been on hold because of the emergency declaration and that's about to end.
For example, let me introduce you to my local law in Florida. Florida State statute 876.12:
Wearing mask, hood, or other device on public way.—No person or persons over 16 years of age shall, while wearing any mask, hood, or device whereby any portion of the face is so hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer, enter upon, or be or appear upon any lane, walk, alley, street, road, highway, or other public way in this state.
This law was pointed out to my wife by a law enforcement officer who really wanted to arrest her for wearing a mask in a grocery store last year.
If you think you're going to be able to avoid COVID after the end of the emergency declaration you'd better be a full on hermit who never has to venture out.
@midnightcommander@linuxrocks.online @paulwinters It wouldn’t be legal to even have the conversation in FL.
@GayDeceiver It’s automatic.

I often get the sense that quite a few people do not actually know what I write about and instead make assumptions about what I must write about based on another set of assumptions about who I must be.
But, if you ask me, I write about democracy, and this column — about the near-total absence of accountability for American police departments — is very much about democracy.

@edteck Next, this needs to be done as PD for veteran teachers who are quaking in their shoes at the idea of AI.

Another purposefully misleading headline from our mainstream media
“Biden refuses to negotiate with republicans!!!1!”
Republicans don’t want to pay the bill for a budget they already passed. They want to hold the nation hostage. And it’s on the president to give into their demands?
The United States of America does not negotiate with terrorists.

I don’t know if my mastodon follower reach is enough to get traction but can anyone direct me to resources in the UK for trans and non gender conforming people who get illegally terminated from work as a teacher? Like are there legal groups addressing that there?

Today marks the 83rd anniversary of the first-ever #SocialSecurity check, and Republicans are celebrating by trying to cut this vital program.
I will keep fighting to protect and expand Social Security benefits for San Antonio's seniors and people with disabilities.
@TransitBiker Then we wind up with rogue HOAs.
@MonotoneofBill Pity. I really enjoyed that.

I mean, it's probably not going to be fingernails.
But DeSantis has already very publicly thrown black people in prison over fake voting charges. Later reversed, but that's not the point. He's about to conduct a very cruel and very public purge of New College. He is operating an illegal refugee trafficking scheme, soley for political optics.
His intentional cruelty will only escalate in the coming months.
And watching Floridians tolerate this? Genocide is coming.
@DeanObeidallah @DemocracyMatters Elie has been against Garland almost since he was appointed. I like Mystal, but the man has no patience.
@doctorjaymarie@mastodon.world @purplepadma I always choose “Other.” If prompted I write in “Ashkenazi.”
