The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

As we recall the trauma caused by COVID in 2020, we should not forget COVID continues to harm. Many still suffer from Long COVID, people who mask are often harassed, and we haven’t scaled clean air infrastructure. If we truly acknowledge past harms, we should be working to create a better future.

Whether we officially categorize it as ‘pandemic’ or ‘hyperendemic’, the reality is that “during COVID” is now.

While what the republicans are doing to Fauci is unnecessary political theater, saying we don’t get to have an opinion on him if we haven’t zipped body bags is dismissing the pain of every chronically ill and disabled person. Nuance is much needed.

It’s always odd to me when I get asked if I am wearing a mask because I am sick. In my experience, these days most people wearing a mask are doing so to prevent themselves getting sick, and most people who are sick don’t wear a mask at all.

If anyone in the Rochester area is looking for diarrhea-free lettuce, I went to Testa’s farm stand. I never buy iceberg, but after avoiding all lettuce for two weeks I was desperate. It was delightful on chickpea salad sandwiches, and I had a great wedge salad last night.

Within the span of 5 mins I had two men shout things at me while walking the canal. The 1st waited until we were shoulder to shoulder & said “Do you know how to swim?” An implicit threat to push me into the water. The 2nd guy was on a restaurant patio w his wife & two young kids. Scum bag behavior.

Just applied a SPF with white cast. Dear reader, I’m so pale I’m see-through. I didn’t know white cast could happen on me and this sunscreen says no white cast. I applied it without a mirror and luckily several minutes later I caught a glimpse of myself, complete jump scare.
Back of the sunscreen tube says “ZERO white cast”

Mask Up Rochester, NY @maskuprochester.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
Get your calls in and/or disrupt ASAP! They're trying to sneak this through the budget behind closed doors, but it has NOT passed yet. Phone numbers in comments #AgeVerification #SurveillanceCapitalism
Black text on a white background, which altogether lies on top of a Palestinian flag, with the MaskUpRochester logo at the bottom of the page.

Text reads:

#AgeVerification

We strongly oppose any attempt to gate the internet behind ID, and we call on our local state legislators to join us in vocally opposing these restrictions. The escalating surveillance state remains a threat to political dissent, and we must protect and keep the right to organize, educate, and connect with each other free from surveillance.

FREE PALESTINE! FUCK ICE!Black text on blue and white background, which says:

CALL IN AGAINST
CHAT AGE ID
IN NEW YORK STATE

Call your State Senator,
Assemblymember, and leaders

Tell them no “age verification” in
the NYS budget or at all!

At the bottom of the page is an orange cat lying down next to a red corded rotary dial telephone. The cat is wearing a white KN95 disposable respirator, and next to the cat is a black arrow pointing to the right, indicating the user to swipe to the next image.At the bottom of the image is a white woman with wavy, long, black hair and red lipstick holding a smartphone in one hand, with her other hand hald out to the side in an expression of disgusted surprise as she looks at her phone. A red scribbled starburst is in the background, and a black arrow points to the right, indicating the user to swipe to the next image for contact info and sample scripts.

The words "NYS AGE ID" sits at the top of the image on a white background, with the MaskUPRochester logo sitting on the top left corner. In the middle of the image, there is black text with a blue and white background, stating:

Start with your:
State Senator (most important) and
State Assemblymember
If you have time, call senate majority leader, assembly speaker, & Governor’s office
Call your state legislators and leaders to demand they oppose the inclusion of any legislation imposing digital ID or “age verification” in the state budget.

Find yours at:
usa.gov/elected-officialsBlack text on a blue background, that provides sample call scripts for contacting certain political leaders. At the bottom of the image is a corded red phone laying down on its side. The words "NYS AGE ID SAMPLE SCRIPTS" sits at the top of the image on a white background, with the MaskUPRochester logo sitting on the top left corner.


For Senate Leader and Assembly Speaker, the script is as follows: Hi, my name is _____ and I live in New York. I’m calling to demand that you oppose in negotiations any legislation that would impose age verification or digital ID in the state budget. Explain in 1-2 sentences why you are against age ID, e.g.
- Age verification puts marginalized communities at risk
- Youth have civil rights too and deserve access to information
- Everyone deserves a free and open internet without needing ID

For Governor Hochul and Lieutenant Governor Delgadom, the script is as follows:
Hi, my name is _____ and I live in New York. I’m calling to demand that Governor Hochul does not include any legislation that would impose age verification or digital ID in the state budget.
Explain in 1-2 sentences why you are against age ID, e.g.
- Age verification puts marginalized communities at risk
- Youth have civil rights too and deserve access to information
- Everyone deserves a free and open internet without needing ID

This reporting is extremely thorough and the allegations are horrific. Swalwell’s attorney is trying to undermine this woman’s credibility by saying she kept working for him afterward. It’s tired victim-blaming rhetoric. She was 21 when it started. I believe her and I hope she is okay.
