Got woken up by a loud, drunk homophobic rant at 4 am, so here's how my Thanksgiving went:
I was scheduled to work all day (I'm a server for those that don't know), but the restaurant had to close the lobby due to not having hot water
I made $14, half of the cost of my ride to get to work

There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.
This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!
