If anyone’s catching a snowball, it’s me.\n>\n> — Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani (@NYCMayor) February 24, 2026\n\n\n_Roll Tape!_\n\nThere is a tradition in Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village, New York, having a snowball fight after a heavy snowfall.\n\nIt's been going on for a while.  This one was bigger than usual because of a popular social media figure announcing the specific time.\n\nSo, people are throwing snowballs, and the cops show up and start assaulting people in the crowd, because as soon as they show up, they become the target.\n\nHappened at the UMass snowball fights when I was a student there two.  Police cars were always the most popular targets, followed by PVTA busses.\n\nThe cops are threatening criminal investigations.\n\nMayor Mamdani had the right response.",
