We can choose to implement the CLCPA in ways that actually put money back into New Yorkers' pockets. We must hold the line on the CLCPA, for the sake of our planet and our pocketbooks. I published an op-ed on this back in January - read it here now ICYMI: www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026... (2/2)

"[N]ame the actual forces driving costs up. Utility monopolies that prioritize shareholder returns over ratepayer welfare. Fossil fuel price volatility that exposes the grid to spikes. Aging infrastructure increasingly battered by extreme weather."

💡NYC's J-51 program can help 200,000 NYC co-ops afford the energy & electrification upgrades needed for climate law Local Law 97. 🚨 But a June 2026 cutoff makes it unusable for most buildings. ➡️ We must extend J-51 through 2035 to meet climate goals & make compliance for co-ops affordable!

The real estate lobby has been working hard to weaken Local Law 97. @petesikora.bsky.social makes the case for why Mayor Mamdani should enforce Local Law 97 as designed, close loopholes, and keep the city on track for deeper emissions cuts. www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/mam...

Electricity is too expensive. @johnffarrell.bsky.social offers three ways lawmakers can fix it.

This is great! 👏 @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social wants to use bulk purchasing to drive down the up-front costs for building owners to upgrade to high energy efficiency. Experts ❤️ this: ✅ saves money ✅ creates jobs ✅ cuts pollution #LocalLaw97 #Winning 🧵 www.crainsnewyork.com/politics-pol...

Governor Newsom has a bill on his desk to hold utilities accountable, and get them to stop passing along their dark money campaigns to everyday Californians. Is he going to side with utilities, or side with the public and help lower electricity rates? energyandpolicy.org/california-l...

Yes on AB 1340!!! Track bill @ calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_202... About bill @ calmatters.org/economy/2025...

The Paramount-Skydance merger is corruption in plain sight. These corporations paid $36 million to Trump in bribes. Then they had CBS cancel Stephen Colbert’s show for criticizing Trump. The Trump regime is a criminal enterprise, and billionaires are buying into it. Boycott Paramount & Skydance.

Over 30 constituents and activists urge NYC Council Member Keith Powers @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social to co-sponsor Intro 1180 to remove Mayor Eric Adams' REC Loophole from Local Law 97 (NYC's Green New Deal for Buildings Law). Powers needs to step up and defend Local Law 97!

A new study found that the United States was responsible for 55 percent of the pollution emitted by private jets globally.

Tonight was a HUGE WIN for Local Law 97, NYC’s “Green New Deal” law. It’s the world’s most-important city-level climate/jobs law. The real estate lobby hates it. Cuomo was going to try and gut or weaken it, as he tried as Governor. Mamdani is a big supporter. Local Law 97 for the WIN!

Opposing Andrew Cuomo is a non-negotiable for our membership. In light of today’s news that Jessica Ramos has endorsed Cuomo, our New York City CAP Council immediately voted to unendorse her on our ballots. @uawregion9a.bsky.social region9a.uaw.org/news/NYCMayo...

Taiwan has recruited a record number of people from nearby nations to meet the surge in demand for chips for AI. These workers are usually represented by brokers, who have so much control over their lives that many migrants feel trapped and exploited restofworld.org/2025/taiwan-...

@hellgatenyc.com’s necessary calling out of NYC’s Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB)!

What's Cuomo's record on climate/jobs - and why is he unfit to be Mayor? Read this thread to learn why. TLDR: As Governor, Cuomo *already tried* to wreck NYC's Local Law 97, our landmark climate and jobs law, by overriding it. Plus, corruption & incompetence. #DoNotRankCuomo /1

Yay -- NYC's Local Law 97 ("Green New Deal") remains! Thank you to litigators fighting for climate just futures!

Pls take a moment to call or email your reps to protect ENERGY STAR from the Trump admin! bit.ly/3Z7Mz5n by @usgbc.bsky.social For 30+ yrs, ENERGY STAR has cut energy use, lowered bills & reduced pollution. It saves Americans $40B/yr in energy bills, while costing just $32M/yr to run.

At last night's mayoral forum cosponsored by Hell Gate and NY Focus at the Public Theater, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social asked @bradlander.bsky.social a question that Lander was more than ready to answer: What he thought was the worst thing Andrew Cuomo did as governor.

On this day in 2020, we lost Stacey Park Milbern, a fierce advocate and activist who taught us about disability justice, love, organizing, and so much more. Spend a moment today with some of her most important works here: disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2020/05/23/s...

“We need the people making decisions about funding energy projects to listen to real working people like me…Keep investing in clean energy projects, support the workers who are doing these projects with good wages and union protections.” - Chad Ward, a member of the Iron Workers Local 7 union

It's time to close Mayor Eric Adam's REC loophole to Local Law 97 (NYC's building decarbonization effort). We need progressive reps like Julie Won @cmjuliewon.bsky.social to protect Local Law 97 by co-sponsoring Intro 1180! @nychange.bsky.social @fwwnewyork.bsky.social

Don't Rank Cuomo! @dreamfornyc.bsky.social

Don't Rank EVIL Andrew for Mayor, New York City! @dreamfornyc.bsky.social (and don't vote for Adams too, obviously)

🚨 New report We modeled all 48 contiguous U.S. states and our analysis finds that repealing the Inflation Reduction Act will force consumers to pay more for #energy and will cost Americans jobs. Check out the state-by-state breakdown: energyinnovation.org/report/infla... #energysky #greensky

We'll have more to share in the coming days. But what can you do right now? Call Congress. Call your state and local officials. Tell them exactly what's at stake if the President's order stands: the future of America's libraries. It's time to Show Up #ForOurLibraries: bit.ly/ALA-LibraryStoryIMLS

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen. Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it. Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

@nypirg.bsky.social in the news: Protesters in Queens demand action on rising energy bills, urge Senate to pass Bucks for Boilers Act The legislation is "aimed at reducing building emissions and providing financial relief to low- and moderate-income households." qns.com/2025/03/quee...

Last day to call Senate Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins @ (518) 455-2585! Mention name, zip code, & you urge her to put Bucks for Boilers (Bill 3476) in the Senate One-House budget! Just left a voicemail myself!

New York State needs to pass the Bucks for Boilers Act (www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...)! The Bucks for Boilers Act helps ensure electrification isn’t just an option for a select few—it becomes a viable, cost-effective pathway for all residential buildings. Great report @ www.switch.box/b4b

"They're trying to immiserate the working class and they're doing it through the federal workforce,” says federal worker Chris Dols.

I don't want my fridge to have a camera or Wi-Fi. I don't want my dishwasher to be smart. I don't want my washing machine to text me. In fact, I kinda miss knobs and dials and knowing big appliances would last 20 years and could still be repaired.

Everyone concerned about data loss right now should learn about the End of Term Web Archive, which I believe has been working on preserving federal websites for the past 8 months. The dataset you fear has been lost may well be here Just an incredible project. Thank you to everyone involved

If you're a journalist downloading CDC data today, please consider filling out this form so we have a centralized guide to who has what. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

"Today, governments around the globe spend nine times more making fossil fuels cheaper than they do on making clean energy more affordable for consumers. We must tear down these walls" 2/3
