I lived in NYC for a decade and I can count on one hand the amount of times I was afraid of something that I saw in public.
It’s not a scary place if you’re a mature adult human being. It is a scary place if you’re a little Nazi diaper baby who shits himself when The Others are around. Cry more.

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

For decades, undocumented immigrants have trusted the IRS when it encouraged them to file. They've paid taxes in good faith, contributing nearly $100 BILLION per year and supporting social services they can't even access.
Not only is this a total betrayal, but it's also illegal. We'll fight this.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
