The first thing you see are the masks — the N-95s, the surgical masks, the patterned cloth masks, the bandanas — which largely vanished from American life over the last two years but are a defining feature of America’s swelling left-wing protest culture.
Faculty members at New York University link arms to protect a “Gaza solidarity encampment,” most of them wearing face masks. Activists block travel across the Golden Gate Bridge, all of them in masks. Members of the March on DNC 2024 coalition show up to their Chicago press conference in face masks, removing them only when it’s their turn to speak.
Nearly one year after the official end of the federal COVID-19 emergency declaration, the regular use of face masks for non-immunocompromised people has faded from American life. Outdoor masking, mandated in many states during the peak of the pandemic, became even rarer after a 2022 CDC advisory scaled it back.
But that gradual return to barefaced life never reached left-leaning protests, where face masks are widely used and encouraged.
Part of the reason, say organizers, remains an attempt to make a point about exposure to COVID-19 and other health risks, which some in the left-wing protest movements believe remain dire. And part is the threat of a different kind of exposure — from being captured by facial recognition technology or becoming doxxed (their personal information being shared online) by counter-protesters.

I AGREE with you!
They are commie footsoldiers of the worldwide communist revolution, funded and organized by our feral gubmint, UN, WEF, IMF, Soros and a host of foundations and NGOs.
The cumulative IQ of that group of face-diapered idiots struggles to reach three digits.
They learned from J6ers.
“ A million patriots show up with baseball bats, then we can see them run like the sniveling little rat cowards they are.”
Count me down in. I’ll bring my bat named “Lucille”.
Don’t want to be on the do not hire under any circumstances list like those left wing law students
“Campus protestors” are not students, nor are they faculty. They are almost all outsiders with students sprinkled in, just like the riots of 2020. People left Chicago to take over Milwaukee and its suburbs, seeing an opportunity to loot (and thus make a buck) and be violent.
They plan to commit criminal acts and do not wish to be identifiable.
If ever in close contact with them, pull off their masks and take the pictures.
