Last Ditch Bar in Greenfield, Massachusetts, dropped its Saturday night mask rule on August 31. Until that post, every patron had to wear a well-fitted KN95 or better at all times. In 2026.Greenfield has not reported a single Covid case in more than two months. The federal public health emergency ended in May 2023. Massachusetts lifted its general indoor mask order back in 2021.The bar wrote, “It is with love we inform our immunocompromised disabled divas we will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional.”The Instagram thread ran to 442 comments. One person wrote, “Just say you’re being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with.” Another said people like the owners “kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience.” A third hoped the venue would get firebombed.These women are insane. If they still feel the need for a mask at a bar, they should stay home. Nobody is forcing them onto a dance floor.Two days later the bar apologized for its “passive and dismissive tone” toward “the most intersectional of us.” That did not calm anyone down. The rest of the country took the masks off years ago. A private club in a town of 17,700 people tried to run one ordinary Saturday night and got accused of murder.President Trump should declare a travel ban between Massachusetts and the rest of the United States until we figure out what is going on there. Is the water supply drugged? There are more lunatics in Massachusetts than in other places, and this episode is the proof.You can wear a mask if you want one. You can stay home if a room without a KN95 terrifies you. Should President Trump shut down travel between Massachusetts and the rest of the country until we can figure out just what the problem is with that state?Source: The Boston Globe X account / Not the Bee
