Newsom deserves zero credit for lifting a mandate that should’ve never been enforced in the first place.

[commenter]

I stopped wearing my mask two weeks ago… I AM DONE WITH THIS BULLSHIT!

[ryancolins]

Never complied with any of those god damn bullshit mandates anyway.

Just before the state of the union and only because it was polling so poorly. Where is the new science report that shows what changed?

Mandates are hurting so many ppl including myself. So i’m glad the truckers are standing up. I stood up and now I’m facing homelessness. I’m a single mother with two boys both are autistic and non verbal. So I’m already overwhelmed. My husband passed away three years ago. So I’m all alone. I have no friends nor family. I recently lost my job over declining the vaccine. I declined due to my pre existing health conditions, lupus, and heart disease. We are struggling daily to make ends meet, everyday is a constant battle, I’m so ashamed of my situation, but God will carry me through. I have faith. I am so very thankful. Thank you Heavenly Father.

The political theater continues, the school union is one of the main contributors to the Democratic Party just keep that in mind.

Why wait till March 12? End it already! Let's hope Alameda County does NOT extend it. Else I will quit and protest with my son maskless outside his school.

[ponrix]

I never wore one. So im way ahead of you guys.

[linavu]

Didn't know Covid have a time line

[lisaschooler]

How is Liberty Union “defying” this, as alleged? If they plan to give the students a choice starting March 12, what is being violated by offering a choice????
