Measles is not only airborne, it is one of the MOST contagious infectious diseases that exists.

The RO (reproduction number) for is 12-18. That means a person infected with measles will infect an average of between 12-18 other people.

Texas is in the throes of a terrible measles outbreak, and yet a Lubbock hospital is requiring masks on two floors only.

An airborne virus won’t stay confined to certain floors. They need mandatory respirators across the hospital.

You know what else that would help prevent? Hospital acquired Covid. Given measles wipes out your immune memory and makes you more susceptible to diseases, now would be an excellent time to bring back masking in healthcare.

“Out of an abundance of caution and because of ongoing measles outbreak in our area, we have implemented temporary masking requirements for all visitors who enter our patient care areas on the 1st and 2nd floor in the Children’s Hospital to further protect patients.

Mask bans already exist in certain States and counties.

Vance spearheaded a federal ban on mask mandates.

Organizing to codify the right to wear medical masks and respirators is (sadly) needed.

Masking is community care and resistance.

Illinois attempting to codify right to mask into law:

The Trump regime deported a kidney transplant specialist and professor at Brown University, despite the fact that she had a valid visa.

Transplant specialists are one of the most in demand and difficult specialty. They can’t be easily replaced.

The cruelty is the point.

Perhaps most alarming is the fact that a court order was issued to prevent her deportation, and she was deported anyway.

Trump and his cronies are actively defying court orders. They’re acting outside the law.

The billionaire oligarch who bought the Presidency spends his days on X calling for the arrest and removal of judges who try and block Trump from doing whatever he wants.

This is fascism. The courts are a necessary part of the checks and balances that keep a democracy functioning.

The US is rapidly running out of time to save their democracy.

Stand up. Speak out. Protest. Divest from businesses run by Trump and Musk. Vote with your dollar. Resist in whatever way you can.

Do not go gently.

To any and all Americans stating that the rhetoric around annexing Canada are "just words" and we should "get over it"; know that your words and your actions have consequences. We've lost trust. For many of us it was thin to begin with. We've lived by you for a long time. We Know Who You Are. "I didn't vote for him". Too bad, he's in. What are you going to do about it now? If the answer is "nothing" then our answer's simple. You're in bed with him, you get the same treatment.

Voici qu'un média des États-Unis, The Atlantic, examine lui aussi l'enjeu de l’annexion du Canada.

Dans ce texte, on examine deux scénarios ... celui de le scénario de la voie politique (l'interaction électorale) et celui de la voie militaire (analyse historique). Dans les deux cas, la réponse est --> ce n'est pas une bonne idée. #Démocratie #Canpoli #USpoli

The Atlantic · Invading Canada Is Not Advisableמאת Eliot A. Cohen

Just to be clear to US people, the tariffs are stupid and have us annoyed. But what has got us pissed off and terrified is the talk of being annexed and taken over.

That’s serious invasion shit and the same talk as Putin in Ukraine. We are fighting for our sovereignty and independence.

If someone was saying that about the US you’d be acting similarly or worse than we are.

Remember that this administration came to power with the support of less than one third of the American voting population.

More than two thirds either voted differently, didn't vote or had their ballots disqualified.

The world is watching and every day brings another jaw dropping fiasco.

You are making a difference. This insanity can only last for so long. Keep the pressure on.

And on a similar note:

Interesting dichotomy between comments from (anti-Trump) Americans and Canadians:

Americans: "Another court ruling went against Trump's orders! If Tesla shares get down to $120, Musk is fucked! We're winning!"

Canadians: "Any US Trumpists thinking they can take Canada, bullet right in the forehead fuckers."
