the argument against Mamdani attending the 9/11 anniversary, as far as I can tell, is literally just that he’s Muslim, and reposting it is just reporting rank racism

In Texas, a Border Patrol agent was just indicted by a local grand jury for aggravated assault for running down a migrant with his car on January 31, 2025. Video from a homeowner showed the agent driving straight into a man who was calmly walking on the side of the road. myrgv.com/local-news/2...

The little girl was still in Bluey pajamas.

No older than 3, she was trying to smell the flowers.

At her side, a pink rolling bag.

Her father, Joan Sebastian Guerrero, had just been fatally shot and yanked from a car he’d been driving. Now, he lay handcuffed in the street, where he would remain for five hours.

 “You took her dad, you took her dad!” a woman nearby yelled, according to Cecelia Humiston, 22, who witnessed the interaction in Biddeford on Monday morning.

A report on the ground from the ICE shooting in Biddeford that should make every parent in this country lose their minds:
Cecelia Humiston, 22, lives on Chapel Street. She was asleep with her two-year-old son when she woke up to the sounds of a commotion on surrounding streets.

When she went to investigate, she saw what appeared to be a person lying on the ground on Pool Street.

She remembers hearing an older woman with a distressed family, yelling, “You took her dad, you took her dad!”

“They were with a little girl, she couldn't have been older than three,” Humiston said. “She was still in her Bluey pajamas.”

Humiston described law enforcement as “rude,” and said they barricaded family’s car from leaving. Another yelled at the little girl, who was trying to smell flowers.

Quick Tip: "Don't speak ill of the dead" means dont demean, or spread lies, or speak malicious untruth about dead people, who cant defend themselves Accurately describing someone's life and legacy is not "speaking ill" It's the truth - which is self justifying in that it is the truth!

And that screenshot says it's from Jackson's Discord server, and the comment is from a person on his team, an admin of the server, which lends credibility to the authenticity of the story of him throwing the bottle on the floor. Which is bad! Also bad that his team appears to be used to bad behavior

Occasional Bluesky User @cacimauri.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
It's not my story. The situation appears to be what I said in my original comment - someone said he threw a bottle at a woman, & the counter was that he threw a bottle at the floor. Either way he throws bottles, like a baby in a highchair. Not someone I want serving in the US Senate!

Occasional Bluesky User @cacimauri.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
The story with the retraction seems to be that they heard one version of the story, but there's another version of it, & they probably didn't want the hassle/liability when challenged on the original post. But this incident seems too specific & plausible to be made up. & it's concerning.

Thank you!!! It's wild how many people are excusing this! And if this is how he behaves with fellow state legislators at work, what is he like in private, or with people who have no power at all? It's like we're begging for an October surprise here.

I know from experience that state legislators are not well covered by media. & almost no one running at that level has $ for real oppo, & people often pull punches because it is such a small world & it's uncomfortable to air things out. A federal race will uncover skeletons a state race wouldn't.

Occasional Bluesky User @cacimauri.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
That type of thinking is exactly how we ended up with Graham Platner. We need to get back to evaluating character along with policy & experience. That's also risk management. With so little time to run a campaign it's so risky to pick someone demonstrating anger issues.

Occasional Bluesky User @cacimauri.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
I addressed that in the comment you replied to. Adults are not supposed to be throwing things when they get angry. That is toddler behavior and a huge red flag because if that's how you are at your professional job, how do you behave in private? October surprise waiting to happen 🚩🚩🚩

On Tuesday, an ICE officer shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston. Today, the government is pressuring the only three eyewitnesses to sign self-deportation orders. I spent 15 years as a public defender. If anyone else did this, we'd call it witness tampering. youtube.com/shorts/-1mtg...

ICE claims that Araujo drove into one of their SUVs with his van and then tried to run over an agent. There were no marks on the van and KHOU11's Jeremy Rogalski found surveillance footage showing ICE chasing Araujo and cutting him off. Renee Good all over again.

Agreed but I also just don't think most normal people use like, medical terminology to flirt. "Glute" is one of the least sexy words in the English language. I am surprised this was seen as a sexual invitation and not a complaint.

Also who uses the word "glute" when flirting? I would assume a person talking about needing a glute massage is telling me they need an appt with a physical therapist or something & are maybe too sore for sex 🤷‍♀️ Why would anyone assume this is a come-on? Esp after being told not to come over?

The sheer injustice in Houston is sickening. Lorenzo was just going to work to support his family when his life was stolen by ICE. Seeing his father on his knees, consumed by raw, agonizing grief, is a heartbreaking reminder of the human cost of systemic violence. He deserves justice.

The Platner story shows how political consultants should not parachute into a state and pick a candidate. There were a bunch of solid Democratic candidates in the state. Maybe the elites don’t know better than the people who actually live in the state?

Is this person who runs his Discord server a plant? I think it's more likely that the same people who ignored all of Platner's red flags are just getting ready to ignore another man's. In case it's not clear, throwing things when angry, whether at people or the floor, is toddler behavior and a 🚩.

There are, but people consider them boring. I hope the people of Maine can overlook that kind of "flaw" in light of what just happened and pick a candidate who won't flame out like Platner 🙏
