Not that it actually changes the situation, but as it happens, the
mini-rant in question arguably misrepresents, the tweet, which
reads:

   .@MaraGay "Masking remains an act of solidarity & respect for
   vulnerable people, that includes people w/ disabilities, w/ chronic
   conditions like asthma, as well as for hard-hit communities like
   native & black communities especially, Hispanic communities"

In the email you are referring to, this was characterized as:

   Well the other thing to keep in mind about masking is that "it remains an
   act of solidarity & respect" for... BIPOC (natch).

I don't think it's really necessary to unpack this, but suffice
to say, this doesn't seem like a particularly good-faith reading
of the tweet in question (whether you agree with said tweet or
not).
