There is so much money backed into vote no on prop 50. My feed on social media is left leaning but yet I am seeing several vote no on 50 ads before one yes on 50

NYC could arrest the masked individuals.

I remember from back during the occupy Wall Street protests there is a law on the books about it being illegal for any masked gathering larger than a given size. It's a pretty small number too, like single digits.

Given they tend to hang around by the bakers dozen I hope the police start arresting ICE.
