Fam, NYC is in a state of pure rebellion right now. Protests against police and police violence are happening all over the city right now. There are helicopters and police vehicles EVERYWHERE. From Bed-Stuy to Grand Central.

A giant gathering at Grand Central right now demanding free transit in NYC, and cops out of our subways.
Police just arrested one man for unknown reasons and the crowd surged forward, chanting:

Why does it make sense—outside of structural racism— to spend $ paying police to guard a subway turnstile instead of spending that $ in the form of fare assistance for impoverished residents?
