It's not true.
You know what I mean?
I walked out of my apartment this morning and I bought a raspberry white chocolate scone.
I mean, that is emblematic of not an apocalyptic hellscape, a freaking scone, you know?
I got a cup of coffee.
Frosted scone.
Yes, delicious.
It was warmed up in like a toaster and I gave it to my daughter.
We went to daycare.
I dropped both my two daughters off at daycare and we drove into work.
That is a truth.
It is also a truth that when I go into some of these coffee shops, people oftentimes in the back of the house come out in tears and are terrified.
And obviously, they want help.
They need help.
They're grateful for a city that is very much standing behind them.
And they are worried for themselves, for their family members.
By the way, not because they're undocumented necessarily, but because they're Latino or because they're Somali.
Right.
And that fear is very real.
And it's palpable.
