@nyuniversity: an MCC tenured professor spent an entire class period telling students that wearing masks doesn’t prevent the spread of COVID-19, and that hydroxychloroquine trials were made to fail so more people would be given the vaccine and have their DNA changed. thread 1/
He followed up that class by sending us links to anthraxvaccine.blogspot.com/2020/06/how-fa… and ratical.org/PandemicParall… as sources to back up his in-class arguments against masks and vaccines. I have forwarded the emails to the NYU bias hotline. 2/

Regarding the protests happening across the country: the narrative that “it’s white agitators/outsiders/infiltrators/anarchists doing all the damage and looting” is extremely harmful. (thread)
For one, it delegitimizes the black folks who are looting, which is a real, acceptable, and effective means of protest. Looting is not violence. The destruction of commercial and public property is not violence. Inflicting harm upon people’s bodies and minds is violence.
1. Identifying yourself is just the first step! Make sure that after you get consent, you narrate everything you're doing. "Now I am going to hold open your eye," "Now I am going to start flushing out your eye," etc.

"Guards have just gotten the okay to wear masks. But we still haven’t. Yet guys cover their faces with cut-off T-shirt sleeves, scarves, handkerchiefs, whatever they can."

"How I see it, guards should have started wearing masks back in mid-March, when visitation & volunteer programs were canceled...At that point, they were the only ones who could have brought in the virus.
It doesn’t matter now. COVID breached the wall and killed a man yesterday."

Most #NeverBiden people I see are POC or survivors of sexual assault. To my fellow white folk, please recognize the privilege that allows you to overlook Biden’s past of racism, ageism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, & aporophobia in order to vote for the "better" of two evils.
All conversations with #NeverBiden people should be held with respect, or honestly, not held at all. It is not the place of white folks to tell most of the #NeverBiden folks what they “should” do or not do with their vote, especially using a “for the good of others” argument.

Please make sure to vote down-ballot!!
Our state and local elections are extremely important, for the actions of these elected officials determine the education of our children, the incarceration of our people, and the health and safety of our communities.

If there is one positive thing about COVID-19, this pandemic is taking the mask off of our corrupt and morally void institutions.

According to our government, we have trillions of dollars for big business and the stock market, but we do not have trillions to combat an existential climate emergency and health care crisis.
