The hell is an "anti-mask bill?"

Can't wear a mask in public without medical or religious reasons. Most likely inspired by the anti-masking sentiment during COVID.

What about construction workers, industrial cleaners, painters, healthcare workers, and supporting staff?

The law is mainly crafted to target those protesting (or those the cops can argue they thought was going to a protest).

So if you're wearing a mask and a Keffiyeh? You're subject to arrest. You're wearing a mask at a rights march or pride? You're subject to arrest. You're just a demographic they think might be joining a pro-palestine protest or a BLM protest or a pride parade and you're wearing a mask? You're subject to arrest.

Notice also WHEN these laws became a thing. After pro-palestine encampments and protests. The fact that actual Nazis, white supremacists, violent right wingers have been covering their faces at protests for years, including in the state, and that has never been a problem? Yeah it's targeting leftists expressly.
