DO YOU REMEMBER

Researchers created a test to determine which masks are the least effective

Schools are reopening, amusement parks are welcoming back visitors, and outdoor dining is the new way to eat out. But despite the signs that life is returning back to normal, the coronavirus pandemic has gone nowhere.

“The most effective mask was the fitted N95. Three-layer surgical masks and cotton masks, which many people have been making at home, also performed well.

Neck fleeces, also called gaiter masks and often used by runners, were the least effective. In fact, wearing a fleece mask resulted in a higher number of respiratory droplets because the material seemed to break down larger droplets into smaller particles that are more easily carried away with air. Folded bandanas and knitted masks also performed poorly and did not offer much protection.”

CALL TO ACTION: Black urban farmer Jeffery Webb has been repeatedly harassed in his town, and as a result both his livelihood and life are at risk. We need to be supporting black farmers now more than ever, as key members of the community providing an essential service to it!

Since Tumblr hates links, I’ll reblog this post with the gofundme link. I’ve also attached an image of his farms Facebook page - even if you can’t donate, give them support. Let the town know there’s eyes on them, and let the Webb’s know that they are seen and supported.

A week after graduating high school, Mike Brown was murdered by police officer Darren Wilson. His murder sparked the Black Lives Matter movement in Ferguson, MO and nationwide, and his family and supporters brought national attention to how police laws exist for arbitrary killings based on the racist notions of officers. Officer Wilson was not charged with any crime then, and after an investigation in July, 2020, he was still relieved of any charge. 

Democrat mayors and governors nationwide responded to protests with increased police force and military presence. President Obama and news media called protesters “thugs,” and lumped incidents of property destruction with all BLM protesters to deflect from their demands for police accountability. 

Police used Mike Brown’s size and race against him and lied about attacks. An investigation found that Officer Wilson had fired 10 shots into a non-moving person, 6 of which hit Mike Brown, only from the front. Eye-witnesses said that Mike Brown yelled “Hands up don’t shoot” before Wilson shot, but the FBI has denied it. Wilson had a minor bruise on his jaw. Amnesty International sent observers to the US for the first time, and their report cited human rights abuses, including the use of lethal force in Brown’s death, racial discrimination and excessive use of police force, imposition of restrictions on the rights to protest, intimidation of protesters, the use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and long range acoustic devices, restrictions imposed on the media covering the protests, and lack of accountability for law enforcement policing protests (x).

6 years later and the government hasn’t changed, but the people have.

I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-Nazi ones, which is great, but I felt like we needed one to show our support for the Jewish community.

Someone twisted this Jewish family’s menorah into the shape of a swastika

Naomi Ellis and her her husband Seth spent Friday morning — the morning after the sixth night of Hanukkah — trying to explain to their three young sons why someone had vandalized the menorah the family had put out on their yard by twisting the metal pieces into the shape of a swastika.

The Ellis family had only built the 7-foot-tall menorah on the front lawn of their home in Chandler, Arizona, because their sons, ages 5, 7 and 9, had asked their parents if the family could decorate their home like the neighbors did for Christmas, the Washington Post reported. Read more.
