Just guessing here, but I suspect the White House is pushing so hard for wars of conquest on multiple fronts because they see their support collapsing ahead of the midterms and worry they won't get another shot. An example of how tyrants become more dangerous as they get weaker, not less.

NEW: 400+ civil rights groups and unions just joined our demand that Congress refuse funds for ICE and rein in their behavior.
Masked federal agents are endangering our communities and putting lives at risk. Our leaders must act now and defend us from this lawless violence.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

When Mayor-elect Mamdani takes office on January 1, he will control over 6,300 miles of streets throughout the five boroughs.
Reducing car dependence is one of the best ways to reduce costs for New Yorkers. Owning a car costs nearly $9,000 annually, while taking transit costs just $1,500.

As NYWFP works to consolidate support around its slate of candidates, we're proud to rank @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #1 🥳
To give voters clear guidance, we're ranking a full slate of 5 candidates. When we unite, we can defeat Cuomo & elect a mayor who fights for us. Let's get this done!

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

It's an important request on its face, but — in light of Trump's statements today and the other litigation ongoing across the country — I also want to highlight an argument his lawyers forthrightly make: The court should not presume the good faith of this government. www.lawdork.com/p/luigi-mang...

Close the Gap! Our local electeds @CMCrystalHudson, @agounardes.bsky.social, and @phara4assembly.bsky.social sent a letter to @nyc-dot.bsky.social asking them to complete the protected bike lane and associated traffic calming on Ashland Place. They understand why this block is so important!

We need the connectivity, walkability and sustainability improvements it would bring to Downtown Brooklyn and Fort Greene.

For most American families—particularly in rural areas—there are no options but public schools. Not just because of cost or not wanting a parochial school, but because non public schools DON'T EXIST in their area.
