And yes, she's working remotely in the meantime. But why would she need to work remotely if she wants to ban masks and because the pandemic is over? thonk

Anyways, sending my thoughts and prayers to the COVID in her body right now. inshallah covid-cool

    Fuck Karen Bass. I wish her a very long COVID. Can't believe I voted for this piece of shit.

    This was her response to a clash between pro Palestine protesters and Zionist counter protestors outside a synagogue: https://x.com/MayorOfLA/status/1805110392806642141

    What were the protests about? The synagogue was hosting an event advertising land for sale to Jewish Americans in the West Bank. How anyone could think that the protests are antisemitic with this context is beyond me. I hate this weaponized victimhood that these Zionists employ.

      Jeez, that's grotesque. Seems like the decision to hold an event extremely repugnant like that at a synagogue was also deliberate so then the Zionists could cry antisemitism at the inevitable protests, too.

        Yeah I'm sure of it. They're so effective at playing the victim in this kind of stuff, and people like Biden and Bass and the lying news media are complicit by leaving out the context of the protests and saying shit like "there's never an excuse for protests at a house of worship"

    So it looks like this mask ban thing is going to become nationwide if LA, NYC, and the entire state of North Carolina have already pushed the idea.

      This is honestly terrifying for me. I’m a fucking elementary school teacher. I have a kid with a heart condition. I’m not going to the children’s virology lab everyday without a mask.

      Very cool that this is happening in big cities, too. Remember to vote for the Democrats to keep the fascist Republicans out of office! Pay no attention to the fascism already happening under the Democrats!

    You know the article was written by a lib cause they use covid as a gotcha, not knowing that shell go through with the mask ban anyway.

      To be fair, still one of the best articles on the combined topics I've read. Acknowledges both the actual nature of the protests and that Covid is still ongoing.

    This is so fucking bleak. The next pandemic is going to break the dam.

      Also, I'm sure the recent overturning of the Chevron deference couldn't possibly stifle efforts to fight any potential pandemics (say, H5N1) even further. :yea:

    Honestly, we need a few mayors and governors to choke out from covid, maybe then some kind of awareness might force itself through their institutionally captured minds
