BREAKING: Crime reports are out for Q1 2026 New York City. Contrary to propaganda that crime would rise, NYC under Mayor Mamdani records fewest shootings & murders IN HISTORY!
• Major Crime: ⬇️ 5.3%
• Robbery: ⬇️ 8%
• Burglaries: ⬇️ 20.6%
• Murders: ⬇️ 28%

And he’s done this while being unapologetically pro working people, anti genocide, & pro justice. His approval rating rose from +38 to +48. Corporate Democrats would be wise to learn from him…if they weren’t so addicted to centrism and losing.

@QasimRashid Mayor Brandon Johnson also oversaw massive drops in crime when we were fear mongered that there would be blood in the streets if we didn't elect suburban authoritarian Paul Vallas.

@QasimRashid must be some sort of a mystery that when you give people hope & dignity and actually work to make the changes to better their lives (unlike say Obama was bailing the banks out right off the bat), somehow magically lots of people don't do stupid things out of desperation and despair.

@QasimRashid The weather in NYC also sucked a load for about half of the quarter. Which reminds me of when I was living in Houston 30+ years ago, and the city recorded no felonies in a 24-hour period and it was big news, because there was a massive cold snap. So, you know, people who might commit crimes also stay home when the weather is bad.
