Not only does this memo give serious Handmaids Tale vibes (prioritizing the pious and the fertile while the rest of us go without)….

But don’t snooze on the fact that they’ve made it so if you get funding from the Department of Transportation you can’t have a vaccine or mask mandate.

COVID isn’t over. H5N1 is spreading rapidly and has pandemic potential.

We’ve got RFK Jr poised to take over HHS and do untold amounts of damage to public health.

Yet they’re still coming for masks and vaccines.

Please wear a mask while you still can. Mask to protect your own health and to show solidarity with disabled and marginalized people who’ve been cast aside and treated as expendable for years.

Mask to Resist.

"Can't have a mask mandate if we give you funds" sounds like a 1st Amendment argument incoming.
