Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov · 12h
This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

Also the big “scam” is allegedly them buying insurance, and then not even using it. Which would be scandalous/profitable/bad for Americans…somehow?

Right? He could’ve taken basically the same stance of “staying apolitical” and just said he was standing up for free speech, or standing by his friend and fellow artist, anything like that.

In Massachusetts, we have a responsibility to protect the vulnerable and stand up for those who need it. We don’t throw trans kids under the bus for political points. We protect them—and all of our neighbors—because trans rights are human rights.

Democrats should be at the microphone right now noting that this is a Hatch Act violation that they'll be pursuing in January. I don't care that the nation's become numb to this shit. It's still illegal and if Democrats should run against it and then act to crush it.

The follow up question for this kind of answer should ALWAYS be parroting it back: “So what you’re saying is that the president of the United States’ memory is failing so much he can’t remember whether or not he was literally in the buildings hit on 9/11? That’s what you’re saying?”

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

The President has decided that in order to make ground beef cheaper, he will cut tariffs on ground beef. And I'm wondering if he could generalize from this one product to other products, and perhaps concede that tariffs raise prices on American consumers.

Literally. Had my mail-in ballot sitting on the table before any of the dropping-out, dropping-back-in, last minute shifts around who’s running, etc. ever started. Was glad I held off on filling it out until the last week, or could’ve easily voted for someone out of the race. I’m sure others did.

Yeah. There’s definitely all that, but it feels like his endorsement helping boost candidates is on the decline. Might be wishful thinking though.

That too. Either if then could’ve taken up a decent share if they hadn’t dropped (or in early absentee filled out before they did). I kept being like “what changed? ok good thing I didn’t fill out my mail in ballot yet!”

Just posted somewhere else, but I kinda get it on this one: it was a weird race. A couple candidates dropped out, Crowley dropped back in, lots of moving pieces just in the last 2-4 weeks. Probably threw off polling because even those paying attention had some work to keep up with who’s in the race.

Heather in Milwaukee @heatherbob.bsky.social · 12/08/2026
I don’t disagree, in general, but this was also a weird one: a couple candidates dropped out, Crowley dropped back in, lots of moving pieces just in the last 2-5 weeks. That probably messed up any polling they did because even those paying attention had some work to keep up with who’s in the race.
