I reached out to Raygun to confirm if they were told directly that ICE was expected in Des Moines today.

Response from their owner, Mike Draper:

If we need every voice in this fight, we need to stop giving people a disabling virus. Respirators save lives and make it safe for your high risk brothers and sisters to join you!

Taekwondoin Tina Sugandh and her black belt kids, who always compete in their masks, warn about #LongCOVID— why they support #MaskTogetherAmerica and @publichealthaction.bsky.social. “This is for all that say you can't compete to your fullest potential at athletic events with a mask on.”

Experts Call For N95s Over Surgical Masks As Flu, Covid Viruses Spread
World Health Network experts urge WHO to make N95, KN95, or FFP2 respirators the standard for protection for healthcare workers, not inferior surgical masks.

Covid is predominantly airborne.
Statistics show: the risk of catching the coronavirus from surfaces is low
There’s really no evidence that anyone has ever gotten COVID-19 by touching a contaminated surface, says Linsay Marr an expert on airborne viruses

Here’s a late Happy New Year 🥳

We’re starting the New Year in North America with overwhelmed hospitals & a flu strain that some are calling a “super flu”

We’ve learned nothing from 2020 and 2021

We actually eliminated a strain of the flu thanks to mandatory masking

A screenshot of a social media post by user “tern” (@1goodtern) with a blue verification check. The caption reads: “Yes, we were right the whole time.” Below it is a quoted post from Reddit’s r/redscarepod, posted 3 months ago by the user “drunkcheesesandwich.” The Reddit post headline says: “COVID destroying everyone’s brains.” The body text questions whether everyone who gets COVID—even without symptoms—suffers brain damage, whether this damage accumulates with repeated infections, and whether this could lead to mass collective dementia. It asks if this represents an “end of the world” scenario and whether the zero-COVID community was right all along. At the bottom of the image, engagement details show 4:32 AM · Jan 7, 2026 and 105.2K views. An “ALT” label appears in the lower-left corner of the embedded Reddit post, indicating alt text availability.

Covid damages the immune system, then other viruses hit even harder than they normally would.
This is happening with the flu right now, and it will continue to happen with other illnesses.
This was expected.

Make masks FIT and FREE! As we experience a record breaking flu surge and the ongoing effects of COVID, now would be a great time to ramp up efforts to make high quality N95 masks free and widely available. Really wish free mask distribution was a regular feature of progressive events for example.

If you believe disabled and high-risk people deserve the right to access society safely, a great New Year’s resolution is to stop actively denying them that right. And bonus, you’ll get sick less.

I know masks make people's tummies feel weird, but that is the reality of the situation. I'm sorry we were told vaccines would prevent Covid, and then told that if we 𝗱𝗶𝗱 get Covid, it wouldn't hurt us. Neither of these things are true, unfortunately. Please mask in 2026! 😷 @cleanairclub.bsky.social
Instagram post from @clean.air.club that reads: Deciding on a New Year's resolution? If you haven't worn a mask in a while, consider a commitment to wearing a mask at one of the following places: • Healthcare facilities • Public transportation (buses, trains, planes) • Grocery stores • Running errands (post office, DMV, going in stores) Instagram post from @clean.air.club that reads: Picking one place to habitually mask again in the New Year is a way to recommit to your own health and to your values around community. The New Year is often a time when the language of "health" and "wellness" gets co-opted by corporations just trying to sell you something. Masking is a return to genuine well-being and care for others in a world that doesn't want us to do that. Instagram post from @clean.air.club that reads: Set Yourself Up for Success The Mask: Opt for a KN95 or N95 mask, and watch a video on how to make it fit your face comfortably. Scatter masks in all of your bags and jackets to ensure you have one when you want one. The Gray Area: Choosing to mask again in certain scenarios will challenge your all-or-nothing beliefs around health practices. Allow for this discomfort and remember that some is always better than none. Interactions: Come up with a planned response for the off chance that someone asks about your mask. We like "I'm just tired of being sick" or "I'm trying to live more in alignment with my values." Get Clear on Your "Why": There can be some physical or social discomfort associated with masking (though perhaps less than you'd expect). It helps to have ready access to your reasons for this resolution. Your long-term health and caring for your community are always good reasons to return to.

Catching COVID is causing immune damage, it’s not building children up. It’s weakening them to other infections.

Almost everyone used to take COVID seriously.

Most people stopped.

If you stopped, you are under tremendous pressure to “not know” about COVID.

To not pay attention.🧵

SARS-CoV-2 is airborne. It can spread and linger in the air, a bit like cigarette smoke. This is why high-quality masks/respirators are so valuable in preventing infection with SARS-CoV-2 and other airborne pathogens
