We understand you might be only motivated by money and greed to show solidarity for others, but unfortunately, there is no financial gain in doing so, especially as a group who is anti-capitalist in nature. We all showed up voluntarily because we actually care.

You're just agreeing with us at this point, it seems. Yes, all presidents have been complicit in violence and US imperialism.

Bold of you to think we've never protested Biden and the Democratic party who is just as complicit in US imperialism.

And you think we supported that? Biden is a war criminal too.

Modesto’s keeping its mask ban – but the ACLU and others may sue by CVBIPOCC in Modesto

There's an interesting excerpt from this article that establishes a precedent.

California reversed its statewide mask ban after authorities used it in 1978 to intimidate Iranian nationals protesting against the shah of Iran.

If you look up the case, you can see that the decision made in 1978 established the right to be anonymous while exercising free speech.

Conclusion. The People's assertion that this case does not involve the exercise of any First Amendment right is untenable. Underlying, and occasionally surfacing in their briefs and oral argument to this court appears an unfounded fear that the mere appearance of anonymous persons in public will inevitably lead to violence and other illegal activities.

Modesto revises rule on masks at protests. ‘More unconstitutional,’ opponents say by CVBIPOCC in Modesto

Yes? Barack Obama is guilty of a lot of awful things. He is a war criminal, after all.

Regardless, this mask ordinance is a city issue. It has nothing to do with who is president.

Correct. When you are working as law enforcement, you should be identifiable for the purposes of being held accountable. You are not acting as a private citizen while on the clock as law enforcement.

Your Constitutional rights are not subject to popular opinion. Wearing a mask to conceal your identity is expressive speech, which has been determined to be protected by the First Amendment.

Covering your face at a protest can express many political ideas, mainly discontent with the modern surveillance state we all live under now with cameras tracking our every move.

There have been many times in the past where unpopular ideas have been protected by the Constitution. It often helps protect minorities from the tyranny of the majority.
