Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
I know someone that recently got a heart transplant. They wear a mask, and take many other precautions so that their immune system doesn't reject the heart. They aren't being overly cautious - they are actually at risk. I can't imagine a government trying to arrest them for wearing a mask.
NC Republicans aren't a government
At best they are a christofascist theocracy
This entire scenario (the mask banning) is ridiculous. Political games like this are the worst.
Imagination isn't your strength, is it? If such a statute was placed, I can definitely imagine a cop not giving a fuck about a serious medical issue. As if they used reason or had empathy.
