@CDCgov @CDCFlu @MsJulieSLam @AwanRad @DrJudyStone @TheWHN @aspcorthals @BaileyDevine20 @plsmaskup @CovidActionGSO A tight fitting N95 respirator provides good protection against airborne transmission and infection. It’s also critical to stay home when having symptoms. Taking precautions protects each other. 💛😷#MaskTogetherAmerica

@1goodtern Do you have datasets with positive & negative samples of this, and if not do you have recs for how to collect such a dataset? I know a speech researcher in my dept who might be interested in formalizing this into a pub!

GA cops zip-tied a person for just wearing a KN95 in a crowd. @WJCLNews reports. The victim was released. Police commanders advised the cops that medical masks were legal. Mask Bans are anti-public-health +violation of human rights! https://t.co/y0EWQHZ2mL

Thrilled to share our new work on improving LLM unlearning! 🚀
Gradient-based unlearning struggle with high cost, instability & lack of precision.
We introduce Dynamic SAE Guardrails (DSG): an activation-based approach using SAEs for targeted, efficient knowledge removal.

HHS Cuts decimate NIOSH, incl. Mining Safety Research Division & the National Personal Protective Technology Lab. https://t.co/utShjqHlje @PittsburghPG
Losing 20K skilled HHS workers + $40 billion in funds will have a devastating impact on America's health. #MaskTogetherAmerica

We're appalled at Sen. Byrne’s proposed SB 286 in IN (https://t.co/oDo0guPDRD) which makes it a “Class C misdemeanor” to wear a mask at a “public assembly”—a high-risk setting for viral transmission!
See https://t.co/noA6o8EQZy “Indiana” section to take action!

[MaskTogetherAmerica @TogetherWeMask]

We are encouraged that MA Sen. Brownsberger proposed SD.245, a law prohibiting mask bans, guaranteeing that municipalities and health boards preserve the right to mask for “protective or medical use”! Urge your MA state senator to support SD.245. We hope other states follow suit!

@RitchieTorres @MTA @TheWHN @NYCLU @jews4maskrights @Pan_End_It @DrJudyStone @yaneerbaryam @COVIDAdvocacyNY @LongCFoundation @TogetherWeMask Be the voice for the vulnerable. More masking keeps us safer. We already suffer from unprecedented discrimination in this pandemic due to our medical conditions. Do you want to help us or hurt us? Your mask ban will push us out of public life permanently. https://t.co/4tCIx3x4As

@RitchieTorres @MsJulieSLam @MTA @TheWHN @NYCLU @Pan_End_It @DrJudyStone @yaneerbaryam @COVIDAdvocacyNY @LongCFoundation @TogetherWeMask Hi, Rep. Torres! Whether or not you personally object to medical use has little to do with the text of the bill you support or how it will be implemented. Regardless of the intentions behind it, any regulation or criminalization of masks will cause harm to marginalized groups.

[MaskTogetherColorado @WeMaskColorado]

@RitchieTorres @MsJulieSLam @MTA @TheWHN @NYCLU @jews4maskrights @Pan_End_It @DrJudyStone @yaneerbaryam @COVIDAdvocacyNY @LongCFoundation @TogetherWeMask We understand your concern regarding criminal activity. However, we implore you to consider the potential ramifications for public health. We need to be encouraging mask use, not discouraging, with a looming threat of bird flu as well as ongoing covid circulation!

[MaskTogetherColorado @WeMaskColorado]

@RitchieTorres @MsJulieSLam @MTA @TheWHN @NYCLU @jews4maskrights @Pan_End_It @DrJudyStone @yaneerbaryam @COVIDAdvocacyNY @LongCFoundation @TogetherWeMask New York's leadership can sway all of America, and your decisions can have a ripple effect in many other locations as well. It is incredibly dangerous to ban masks at this time for any reason! You would not ban seat belts just because someone used one as a weapon once!

[Karina @plsmaskup]

@RitchieTorres @MsJulieSLam @MTA @TheWHN @NYCLU @jews4maskrights @Pan_End_It @DrJudyStone @yaneerbaryam @COVIDAdvocacyNY @LongCFoundation @TogetherWeMask I understand your intention, but banning masks, even for a narrow purpose, wouldn't have your intended effect. You wouldn't know what the mask was for until after a crime has/hasn't been committed, so what's the point of singling out the mask specifically?

[Karina @plsmaskup]

@RitchieTorres @MsJulieSLam @MTA @TheWHN @NYCLU @jews4maskrights @Pan_End_It @DrJudyStone @yaneerbaryam @COVIDAdvocacyNY @LongCFoundation @TogetherWeMask The mask wasn't used to commit the crime, the truck was. How would you practically go about and discern who is wearing a mask for what purpose? The effect would just be discrimination against people trying to protect their health.

[Julie S. Lam @MsJulieSLam]

Many @MTA riders wear masks due to poor ventilation, high levels of viral illness & pollution in NYC. We ask our officials to fight for public health, instead, @RitchieTorres is proposing a mask ban that would discriminate #immunocompromised visitors/New Yorkers. #StopMaskBans 💔
