If you want to fight authoritarianism, one of the worst things you can do is restrict people’s ability to exercise their first amendment rights. Yet by trying to push through a mask ban, that’s exactly what some New York Democrats are doing.
@luckytran I don’t think anyone ever said elected NY Democrats wanted to fight authoritarianism.
@luckytran The logic of mask bans escapes me.
Come down harder on people arrested for committing crimes while masked? Okay.
Stop masks messing up mass surveillance and facial ID? No. Not okay.
Don't New York cops have enough to do?
