The mental gymnastics required to think NOW is the time to stop talking about the climate crisis when it's been confirmed New Orleans is just counting down the days. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Imagine saying climate denial is looking at the world as it is

how can US democrats drop climate more than mentioning it zero times That's negative territory: do they need to go around and slap the phone out of stranger's hands if someone's reading an article about climate change? Do a big SHUSH finger on someone's lips if they start saying "clima-"

Funny bc in 2024 democrats didn’t talk about climate and they fucking lost. But in 2020 they did. And they won. Also, if you look at actual polling, this is just incorrect. I guess he didn’t think looking at actual data was relevant.

At this point, solving climate change is cheaper than not solving it -- not only on some grand 50 year time horizon, but tomorrow, today, immediately. Soving climate change *is* affordability. Maybe Dems should tell voters about that.

Top 10 reasons why Democrats need to talk about climate change now: 🧵

Kathy Hochul is a climate criminal, and anyone who supports her for political expediency is aiding and abetting

never thought I'd be rooting for Carl Heastie but here we are (this is a ny state budget climate post)

Once again, @governor.ny.gov has betrayed NY's families, this time by weakening our state climate law. Clearly, she doesn't care whether our children survive, so long as her fossil fuel & tech donors are happy. Shame on Hochul for sacrificing OUR children for her donors.

The Governor's proposed changes to NY's climate law amount to a sweeping rollback of a law crafted by communities across the state, many of whom are at the front lines of the climate crisis. Rolling back the climate law will exacerbate this harm: act.nyrenews.org/protect-ej-c...

Cc Kathy Hochul

While the governor is on the verge of decimating our state climate law, now would be a great time for local leaders including @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social to take a stand for the children who will bear the brunt of the horrors of a worsening climate crisis.

Legislators in Albany: We hope you know if you cave to Hochul to roll back our climate law, our movement won't just hold her accountable, you'll be to blame too. And we won't forget.

1/ All NYers should be watching as our state budget process is used to cut protections for our communities. Whether the Gov is listening to fossil fuel lobbyists, major corporate polluters, or her private donors, she is clearly not listening to the people of NY 🧵 www.nyrenews.org/news/organiz...

Amazing day in Albany yesterday rallying for the #SUNNYAct☀️ for plug-in solar & to defend our climate law! Shout out to all the allies who joined us, esp. @dianaforqueens.com @sarahana.bsky.social @amdanalevenberg.bsky.social @rachelmayny.bsky.social @joannesimonbk52.bsky.social & AM Mitaynes!

Chuck Schumer should step down from leadership. People on the Dem side of the Senate should be demanding it and are not. So they should all go too.

Great article w/ @liatro.bsky.social from @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social. "We're really looking next to the mayor to weigh in what he thinks about this unfettered AI in schools that we know harms kids...does that align with what you ran on in terms of putting people first and not corporations?"

this is truly mind blowing and horrifying-- these tech bros are coming for our lives and we need to fight them with everything we've got

🌎 Thank you to Sen Gustavo Rivera for this @nydailynews.com op-ed today: "For low-income families and communities of color across NY, the proposed delays and rollbacks to the climate law aren’t abstract policy debates; they risk real and devastating impacts." www.nydailynews.com/2026/04/22/k...

this is a niche post that I really appreciate, we are in the Bell-riots/ Borg/WW3 era for sure

Support women/ mom/ family led organizing for people and planet this #EarthDay👇👇 We are doing SO much, with far fewer resources than almost all of our partners. If you want to support real grassroots climate organizing with heart, humor and a track record of wins-- Climate Fams is the real deal!

Big news🎉! The #SUNNYAct for plug in solar☀️🔌 just passed the State Senate **unanimously!** SUNNY would make affordable, clean solar accessible to millions of NYers, helping to lower bills & cut pollution. Join us in Albany next week: bit.ly/SUNNYinAlbany

"...there are days when I work on solar energy just because it’s the sharpest stick with which to poke Exxon and Chevron and the rest... They are the vampires of our world, sucking the life from the earth... And we all know what sunlight does to vampires." @billmckibben.bsky.social #ClimateSky

Climate change threatens democracy. And these are only the direct effects of climate change impacts such as storms and heatwaves on infrastructure, displaced voters and electoral process. Climate change impacts also undermine governance and public order, and amplify violence and conflict.

Gov Hochul is breaking NY's climate law — and when she got pushed to follow the law by enviro groups, instead of doing the right thing and protecting NYers from the climate crisis and fossil fuel greed, she's now choosing to destroy our state's climate protections. www.news10.com/capitol/hoch...

Have been wondering this for a good ten years

I remember spring in NYC. It wasn’t tropical. On top of everything else, the fossil fuel tycoons have stolen spring, and that just breaks my heart.

Same

Today in Brooklyn, dozens of children and families marched to @schumer.senate.gov’s to say #NoWar & #NoTrump. All the children are ours. Every single one.

Really think this is a stop what you’re doing and go to your street corner or neighborhood gathering place with a sign moment. It’s not that hard. Do you really want to look back(if we can) and regret your silence? & if you’fe in congress, it’s a get off your ass & go to DC to remove Trump moment

It’s understandable but everyone needs to stop what they are doing and wake the fuck up

Stop posting and find a place to show up TODAY.

patiently explaining to national political reporters that the people who organize No Kings are also doing the daily advocacy, voter registration, mutual aid, and immigrant defense, and that just because the cameras show up for the big crowd does not mean that work did not exist before and after

Holy New York.

Gov. Hochul says, “Your family is my fight.” But weakening New York’s climate law puts our children’s future at risk, for short-term political gain and at the benefit of the fossil fuel industry. @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social in @timesunion.com www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

Amazing day marching with @handsoffnycfams.bsky.social & 400,000 other New Yorkers. No kings. No ICE. No war. No Fossil fuels. #NoKingsNYC

This. This is it right here. Dems need to move to the left of the right-wing on this issue or suffer big in the future.

Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all. This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.

The city is not listening to parents. It’s not listening to educators. It’s plowing ahead pushing AI and ed tech onto our kids with very little understanding of what that means for their future.

Great question for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social with the release of the DOE’s AI guidance today: why is our socialist mayor inviting big tech into our classrooms to profit off our kids and teachers at the expense of our shared future?

Friends, the guidance released by the DOE today makes it clear that we are not done fighting for schools that will protect our kids' right to an education that will not do damage to their ability to learn and thrive. AI does not belong in our schools. Read and share our press release here.

The DOE decided to throw NYC students to the winds today and offer no real protections on their right to an education free of AI. We need to speak out - we need your help.

This is so horrifying and sad

It should come out of his personal bank account

Also is this written by a 5th grader?Tho tbh that is an insult to fifth graders

This feels like a good moment to highly recommend… trains Taking the train to California is one of my favorite things I’ve done

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

This is why you always follow the money...
