Not happening, Donald! Just days after claiming it would be a “great discredit” if he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, the prize went to South African anti-apartheid lawyer and human rights judge Navi Pillay.

Trump’s GOP is in full-blown midterm panic. Republicans are turning on each other, new polls show Democrats gaining ground, and the scandals keep piling up. Meanwhile, Trump’s Iran war is sending oil prices soaring.

Republicans gave corporations a huge tax cut. The deficit exploded again. Now they want to blow another massive hole by borrowing billions more for weapons to feed the endless series of Republican wars. The national credit card is maxed out while Republicans enrich themselves.

7 shots fired. 4 pm in afternoon. At a car with 5-year old in it. Can’t use deadly force except in response to imminent threat of death of serious bodily injury. As in, from what we know, a blatantly illegal shooting. That’s without regard to victim’s criminal record. 7 Shots Fired.

You don't have to change the whole world to make a difference. Sometimes, a few kind words, a little encouragement or letting someone know they're not alone can mean more than you realize. Never underestimate the positive impact you can have on someone else's life.

I mean, quite aside from the barbarism of live-streaming this, I actually can't think of anything more stupid from a counterterrorism perspective. Showing this online - where it will likely be replayed for many years - has no deterrent value and would be useful only as anti-US recruitment tool.

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.
