DoomsdaysCW<p>The War on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Masks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Masks</span></a> Has Taken on a New Meaning</p><p>This time, the masks have nothing to do with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/COVID19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>COVID19</span></a>.</p><p>By Henry Grabar<br>Feb 05, 20254:57 PM </p><p>"Last month, state legislators in New York introduced a bill that would create a new crime: 'masked harassment.'</p><p>"That, the law explains, is when you wear a mask 'for the primary purpose of menacing or threatening violence against another person' or 'placing another person or group of persons in reasonable fear for their physical safety.'</p><p>"If that seems like a bit of a niche offense—threatening violence is already a crime, after all—it’s because the language has been watered down to attract political support. It’s a sign of New York Democrats’ cautious new approach over masks in public life, and a retreat from last spring, when anti-Israel protests, on top of a widespread urban crime panic, pushed leaders from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to consider mask bans.</p><p>"In its original form, the New York bill would have banned masks at public assemblies entirely. But the outcry from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DisabilityRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabilityRights</span></a> advocates, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalJustice</span></a> reformers, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HealthCareWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HealthCareWorkers</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilLiberties" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CivilLiberties</span></a> groups was swift, and so New York wound up with this bill on 'masked harassment' instead.</p><p>"Elsewhere, the pandemic-era leniency on masking in public is over. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NorthCarolina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthCarolina</span></a> Republicans overrode a gubernatorial veto last summer to once again <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BanPublicFaceCoverings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BanPublicFaceCoverings</span></a>, except to stop the spread of contagious diseases. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost dusted off an old law to threaten <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StudentProtesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StudentProtesters</span></a> with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/felonies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>felonies</span></a>.

They can strike back against the perceived overreach of pandemic-era <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HealthDirectives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HealthDirectives</span></a> and make it easier to arrest <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/demonstrators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>demonstrators</span></a> at the same time.</p><p>"In <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ohio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ohio</span></a> and North Carolina, the original statutes were written in the 1950s to stop demonstrations by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KuKluxKlan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KuKluxKlan</span></a>, but had been ignored or suspended during the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandemic</span></a> and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GeorgeFloydProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GeorgeFloydProtests</span></a>. Many lawmakers have cited the recent demonstrations in defense of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gaza" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gaza</span></a> as a reason to crack down again. Defending the proposed mask ban in New York, Anti-Defamation League [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ADL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ADL</span></a>] president Jonathan Greenblatt said the demonstrators were using '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KKK</span></a> tactics' to intimidate Jewish New Yorkers.</p><p>"That instinct was bolstered by the sense among many city residents and elected leaders that widespread masking was a factor behind the pandemic-era crime spike. That led to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Philadelphia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Philadelphia</span></a> banning <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SkiMasks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SkiMasks</span></a> in parks, on trains, and in public buildings. A more recent, high-profile example came in December with the Midtown Manhattan killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BrianThompson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BrianThompson</span></a> by a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaskedAssassin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaskedAssassin</span></a>, which prompted New York Mayor Eric Adams to call for cab drivers and business owners to ask customers to remove their masks. The new New York bill has won over the liberal Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who endorsed the 'tailored' approach. As the police say: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoFaceNoCase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoFaceNoCase</span></a>.</p><p>"For what it’s worth, there are too many confounding variables and too little data to be sure if mask-wearing is associated with crime, said Ernesto Lopez at the Council for Criminal Justice, which collects crime reporting statistics from various cities. 'From a theoretical statement it makes sense that could occur, but it has not been demonstrated that’s the case,' he told me.</p><p>"But if all that weighed in favor of more mask bans, there was also widespread resistance. Disability advocates mobilized to defend the right to mask; North Carolina had to write a medical exemption into their bill at the insistence of a GOP House member. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PoliceReformers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceReformers</span></a> observed that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaskBans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaskBans</span></a> have often been used for pretextual <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>policing</span></a> and racial profiling against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackAmericans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackAmericans</span></a>. (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AtlantaGeorgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AtlantaGeorgia</span></a> tabled a mask ban for that reason.)</p><p>"What looms largest, as the second Trump administration begins, is the role of protest. As Semafor’s Dave Weigel has noted, masks have become a badge of left-wing protest culture. That’s in part an extension of politicized COVID-era concerns about health and civility, but at this point it is mostly a tactic to preserve anonymity in an era of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FacialRecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FacialRecognition</span></a>, streaming video, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/doxing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>doxing</span></a>. Last year, the anonymous <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProIsrael" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProIsrael</span></a> website the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CanaryMission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanaryMission</span></a> posted photographs of hundreds of students and faculty at campus protests and posted their names and photos online, labeling some as supporters of terrorism.</p><p>"'The concern takes on new urgency as Donald Trump pledges to revoke the visas of pro-Palestine protesters, and the Trump-Musk GOP embraces the naming and shaming of otherwise private citizens. A conservative group called the American Accountability Foundation has begun circulating lists of federal workers, many of them Black, who should be <br>'targets' for their alleged involvement in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DEI</span></a> initiatives at work.</p><p>"Clearly, the masked protest does not always sit well with an older generation, many of whom cut their teeth in the protests of the pre-internet age. As Georgetown professor Michael Kazin told the New York Times last year: 'I do think if you are going to demonstrate, and it’s something you feel deeply about, you should be willing to stand up and be counted.'"</p><p>Source:<br><a href="https://slate.com/business/2025/02/mask-bans-new-york-los-angeles-crime-protests-criminalize-face-coverings.html?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">slate.com/business/2025/02/mas</span><span class="invisible">k-bans-new-york-los-angeles-crime-protests-criminalize-face-coverings.html?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AuthoritarianRule" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AuthoritarianRule</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigBrother" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigBrother</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigBrotherIsWatchingYou" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigBrotherIsWatchingYou</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SurveillanceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SurveillanceState</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SilencingDissent</span></a></p>

But similar groups have sprouted up in dozens of jurisdictions, from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AtlantaGeorgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AtlantaGeorgia</span></a>, to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OaklandCalifornia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OaklandCalifornia</span></a>.

'A grant application to the foundation cuts all the red tape, or almost all of the red tape.'</p><p>"But critics say police foundations operate with little transparency or oversight and can be a way for wealthy donors and corporations to influence law enforcement agencies' priorities.</p><p>"It's not uncommon for the same companies to be donors to the same police foundations that purchase their products for local police departments.

DoomsdaysCW<p>Dozens indicted on Georgia racketeering charges related to ‘Stop Cop City’ movement appear in court</p><p>by Kate Brumback, Nov 7, 2023 </p><p>ATLANTA (AP) — “Nearly five dozen people indicted on racketeering charges related to protests against a planned police and firefighter training facility near Atlanta appeared in court on Monday as their supporters rallied outside the courthouse.</p><p>“Protests against the proposed training center — dubbed “Cop City' by opponents — have been going on for more than two years. Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr obtained a sweeping indictment in August, using the state’s anti-racketeering law to target the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/protesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>protesters</span></a> and characterizing them as 'militant <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anarchists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anarchists</span></a>.'</p><p>“Demonstrators and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CivilRights</span></a> organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACLU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACLU</span></a>), have condemned the indictment and accused <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Carr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Carr</span></a>, a Republican, of levying heavy-handed charges to try to silence a movement that has galvanized <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmentalists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environmentalists</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antipolice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antipolice</span></a> protesters across the country.</p><p>“All 61 people indicted were scheduled to be arraigned Monday, that is to have the charges against them formally read in court. Fifty-seven of them appeared, called in small groups before Fulton County Superior Court Judge Kimberly Esmond Adams over a three-hour period, and each waived arraignment.</p><p>“Four defendants failed to appear. One was believed to be in France and prosecutors didn’t have a good address for him. One was in federal immigration custody. Another who is not American and who had left the country tried to return twice in recent days to attend the hearing but was denied entry to the country, her lawyer said. A fourth simply didn’t show.</p><p>“Most of the people who appeared had not yet surrendered at the Fulton County Jail to be booked on their charges. Some had recently reached agreements with prosecutors on a bond amount and conditions and others were still in the process of doing so.</p><p>“Adams told them they had until 10 a.m. Tuesday, 24 hours after the start of the arraignment proceedings, to turn themselves in. If they fail to do so, she warned, a warrant for their arrest could be issued and any bond would be rescinded.</p><p>“Adams instructed defense attorneys to provide the attorney general’s office with hard drives by Friday so they can receive copies of evidence in the case, known as discovery. Prosecutors are to finish copying and distributing that evidence to defense attorneys by the end of the year.</p><p>“A final plea hearing will be set no later than the end of June, Adams said. She explained to the groups of defendants that if they want to reach a plea agreement with prosecutors they must do it by that date.<br>“A couple of hundred supporters of the ‘<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopCopCity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopCopCity</span></a>' effort rallied outside the courthouse in downtown Atlanta on Monday morning singing, chanting and waving signs.</p><p>“Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and other supporters say the 85-acre, $90 million facility would replace inadequate training facilities, and would help address difficulties in hiring and retaining police officers. Opponents have expressed concern that that it could lead to greater police <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/militarization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>militarization</span></a> and that its construction in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SouthRiverForest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SouthRiverForest</span></a> will worsen <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environmental</span></a> damage in a poor, majority-Black area.</p><p>“Protests against the project, which have at time resulted in violence and vandalism, escalated after the fatal shooting in January of 26-year-old protester Manuel Esteban Paez Terán, known as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tortuguita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tortuguita</span></a>. A prosecutor last month said he would not pursue charges against the state troopers who shot Paez Terán, saying he found that their use of deadly force was ‘objectively reasonable.'</p><p>“Most of those indicted in August had already been charged over their alleged involvement in the movement. RICO charges carry a sentence of five to 20 years in prison that can be added on top of the penalty for the underlying acts.</p><p>“Among the defendants: more than three dozen people who were previously facing domestic terrorism charges in connection to the protests; three leaders of a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BailFund" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BailFund</span></a> previously accused of money laundering; and three activists previously charged with felony intimidation after authorities said they distributed <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/flyers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flyers</span></a> calling a state trooper a <br>'murderer' for his involvement in Paez Terán’s death.</p><p>“Prosecutors have alleged a conspiracy that includes a wide variety of underlying crimes that range from possessing fire accelerant and throwing Molotov cocktails at police officers to being reimbursed for glue and food for activists who spent months camping in the woods near the construction site.”</p><p><a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/dozens-indicted-on-georgia-racketeering-charges-related-to-stop-cop-city-movement-appear-in-court" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pbs.org/newshour/politics/doze</span><span class="invisible">ns-indicted-on-georgia-racketeering-charges-related-to-stop-cop-city-movement-appear-in-court</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendTheForest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendTheForest</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ACAB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ACAB</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DefendWeelauneeForest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DefendWeelauneeForest</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Censorship</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateJustice</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DirectAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DirectAction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JusticeForTort" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JusticeForTort</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JusticeForTortugita" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JusticeForTortugita</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AtlantaGeorgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AtlantaGeorgia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalRacism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalRacism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StopCopCitiesEverywhere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StopCopCitiesEverywhere</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeAllForestDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeAllForestDefenders</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CriminalizingDissent</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SilencingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SilencingDissent</span></a></p>
