Ahead of the council vote, there was a faceoff between supporters and opponents. Moms For Liberty held a protest outside city hall.
Moms for Liberty is protesting liberty. What a time to be alive
Famously the statue of Liberty says " Bring us your wealthy, your heterosexual whites, Your Christian elite yearning to breathe free"
Hah, Dirty Blvd by Lou Reed:
Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor - I'll piss on 'em
That's what the Statue of Bigotry says
Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death
And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard
It hurts to read this because the original poem is so beautiful.
Sadly I think the original poem has always been a lie. We've historically treated all immigrants like a subhuman species; black people, the Irish, and jews, in particular. (Antisemitism being frowned upon is a relatively new thing)
