@arstechnica We will not even be changing planes in North Carolina if this passes. Imagine getting arrested for masking in the departure lounge at the airport!

@arstechnica @indubitablyodin some people are going off on republicans here. Just want to point out that this bill would not be possible if democrats had not also abandoned masking in favor of going back to normal at the expense of literally all of us

They are going to really pay a terrible price when the next pandemic comes.

@arstechnica Really convenient how banning masks will also help de-anonymize protesters. No way that's their main goal, governments always push for the safety of protesters.
