@luckytran@shortridge My house is that green zero (that’s my outdoor sensor that must’ve died; the indoor one near the open window is 222). Los Angeles. I’m actually surprised the fireworks have such a measurable effect.
It isn't so much Trump that causes me to despair (I had that breakdown in 2016). It is the collapse of the auxiliary systems intended to protect civilians which are now jeopardizing our very existence.
Here's the bill: "IT SHALL BE UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON OR PERSONS, INVOLVED IN A LAWFUL ASSEMBLY, UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY, OR RIOT, TO WEAR A HOOD, MASK, OR DEVICE WHEREBY THE PERSON OR THE PERSON'S FACE IS DISGUISED."
@luckytran "-so as to conceal the identity of the wearer."
I wonder if this could be argued against in court -- that a mask being used for protection of one's health is not, in fact, being used for concealing identity. (Kind of like a self-defense argument on weapons or something.)
@luckytran A lawful assembly would include a concert, right? So if you work at a music venue and your boss won’t give you leave because you have COVID, you’re now banned from wearing a mask to try to avoid giving it to unsuspecting attendees and coworkers unless there’s a declared public health emergency?
@luckytran a similar law was passed in the previous century in Virginia in the 1920s. It was an anti-Klan law. Before panicking about something passed by a liberal legislature, you might want to look into its background.
