Reposted by CatBrian Creek, Photographer @briancreekphoto.bsky.social · 11/02/2025That is such bullshit. People on medicaid aren't the problem. Corporate welfare and a broken taxing structure are. We need to return to the tax rates in place in the 1970's and corporations and wealthy individuals need to stop getting a pass. This has been creeping oligarchy! 1181

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · 12/02/2025The problem in NC is not the idea of a mask ban stopping them! It’s that public health has failed at messaging entirely and most people don’t WANT to wear them. And vulnerable patients are listening to anti-mask HCW’s and family members. In the biggest and most liberal cities and hospitals. 010
Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · 12/02/2025And how do you think you’re going to change the NC law with this ncga? Again, I have actually worked hard on this with others in my state. What are YOU doing besides talking about it. 100
Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Also, I think it’s stupid to condescend to one of the few people actually WEARING a mask and fighting to get HCW’s to mask. 100
Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Cops that harass people are going to do it regardless of you wearing a mask. They will just accuse you of shoplifting, etc. Do you even live in NC? I wrote to every single legislator multiple times, called offices, went on the news and in newspapers. Current ncga is not going to change law. 100

Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · 11/02/2025The biggest problem is that most people who need to mask are not masking! I’m talking cancer clinics and lung transplant clinics. HCW’s in clinics and hospitals. THAT is the bigger battle, not the cops. In North Carolina. 000
Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · 11/02/2025I’m saying they are currently not doing so. The law was intended to target protesters. I don’t agree with the law. Unless you are protesting, you’re more likely to be harassed by average citizens over masking than the cops. 200
Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Haven’t heard about any groups trying to overturn it. I was part of groups to get medical masking allowed. R’s are too busy loosening gun laws to bother with masks. 000
Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · 11/02/2025I mask every day in NC. While I’m a WW, I’d say that Black women are the biggest group masking. I have not heard of anyone being arrested for a mask. I follow ncpol closely. 000
Cat @dizzycatdesign.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Are you trying to discourage masking in NC, because that’s all your post does! Cops are going to target protesters whether they mask or not. They are not going after you at the grocery store or your dr’s office. 200
