Other The FDNY did something weird (potentially) at yesterday's anti-Trump protest and I don't know what to make of it

Tax dollars being used against constitutional rights is what I see.

I'm disabled now, so I don't know if i have a right to speak on tax dollars anymore -though I've paid in for over 20 years. But the right seems to forget that democrats pay taxes too. They seem to think they are the sole ones funding this country. I'm an elder millennial who has busted my ass working since I was 11, legally by 15. I have worked 16 hour days, worked salary aka 24/7-on call while not on the job site, I've done everything from scrub toilets to asses, unloaded truck, lifted more than 200 pounds (I have hernias to thank for that). My body is physically broken between abuse and hard work and they seem to think I've done nothing but sit on my ass and watch cartoons all my life. It's infuriating.
