Americans absolutely cannot handle minor personal inconvenience, unless it has been sold to us as “freedom.” The correct response to necessary lockdowns was “our very rich government should pay us all to stay home” but instead a bunch of people went with “I must dine out and it’s tyranny if I can’t”

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

My understanding is ICE has been either staging or repeatedly showing up to this area in Inwood the last few days, which I think is likely why there were multiple people blowing whistles—they had been there for some time. Not sure if they took anyone.

I’m hearing from multiple sources that they believe there is indeed a surge happening in NYC. This incident, in Inwood, happened amid multiple days of ICE in the area, as activity was also reported in Corona (Queens), Bensonhurst, Bushwick (Brooklyn), & Port Richmond (Staten Island) this past week.

Masked ICE thug just casually shooting pepper spray at a few old ladies standing peacefully on the sidewalk filming them in uptown Manhattan today. Just because these monsters are quieter now doesn’t mean they’re not still out there violating people.
