corruption is back, baby! free for all!

Kathy Hochul could bring down bills and protect our future by building 15 gigawatts of public renewables. Instead, she's raising bills to build Trump's fracked gas pipeline and a crypto mine. Is this why? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/n...

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant. This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

Evergreen reminder you can’t disentangle the climate fight from the fight for everyone’s freedoms, rights, well-being, etc.

“Nobody’s seen this report,” said a career employee at the Interior Department who Canary Media granted anonymity to speak freely for fear of retribution. ​“My personal opinion is that it’s all bullshit.” Pretty damning!

a lot of things in the world feeling very bleak, but canvassing for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is NOT one of them 🥰

every part of this story is completely fucking insane and evil, and probably happening across tons of other agencies too www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

MY MAYOR 🥰

I rallied against Con Edison’s proposed double-digit rate hikes yesterday alongside fellow New Yorkers. In the Assembly, I’ve been one of the loudest critics of Con Ed's price gouging—and as Mayor, I will continue to fight this corporate greed so we can keep the lights on.

Does your Con Ed bill keep going up? 💸📈😰 Ours too. But while 1 in 8 NYers is behind on their bills, Con Ed is pushing to RAISE our rates by *double-digits* to boost their profits. 😡 We say NO. Join us & @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social this Friday to #HaltTheHike! url.socialists.nyc/haltthehike

was just in SF last week and had such an immediate, visceral reaction of disgust to seeing Waymos for the first time. I left believing they all need to be destroyed on sight.

Tired: letting the planet burn Conspired: profiting off the disaster Inspired: joining DSA ecosocialists to #BuildPublicRenewables and win the thriving future we deserve

Whether it’s cap and invest or renewable energy, @governor.ny.gov is the biggest obstacle to a more affordable and sustainable NY. The solutions are obvious and they’re right there: make polluters pay and #BuildPublicRenewables!

so we're here now www.huffpost.com/entry/white-...

For almost 2 weeks, Badar Khan Suri was kept in a room without a bed & with TV blaring 21 hrs/day. He was given used underwear & red uniform "usually reserved" for "high security" detainees. Not allowed to spend more than 2 hrs/week outside dorm. His little son has stopped talking in his absence.

Last week on instagram, I asked why New Yorkers should NOT vote for Andrew Cuomo in the June Democratic Primary. More than 500 people replied. What it really comes down to? New York City deserves better.

The country may be going down the drain but we continue reaching new heights in at least one kind of chip science

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

Top Wall Street institutions are prepping for global warming that blows past the Paris Agreement. "We now expect a 3°C world," Morgan Stanley analysts wrote, a scenario in which harvest failures are widespread and sea-level rise is measured in feet rather than inches. www.eenews.net/articles/big...

hard to stress how insane it would be if this goes through. EIA data is so fundamental to policy and energy planning - and now it might be led by a person tied to think tanks that spread climate denial and disinformation

Here's everything you need to know about Trump’s pick to run the Energy Information Administration: Tristan Abbey, a senior fellow at a think tank that denies the existence of an energy transition ⬇️

they're giving exemptions for MERCURY POLLUTION, meanwhile they're revoking air permits for WIND FARMS 🫠

the Zomentum is undeniable

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement. Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

Something that's been clear to me for some time is that a lot of progressive advocacy and politics has overindexed on finding just the right combination of words to say while ignoring the fact that no media ecosystem exists where people might actually hear you say them. New from @mmfa.bsky.social

Especially right now, there’s REALLY no reason for states not to be standing up to Trump and leading on the kind of big public investments people are desperate for It’s literally all upside - for the climate, for the economy, for household bills, even for self-interested politicians!

Big day for air pollution 🙃

Mahmoud's wife recounts ICE following them into their building as they returned from an Iftar dinner. She refused to leave Mahmoud. Officers threatened to arrest her too. The officers barricaded Mahmoud from her. They didn't show a warrant. They hung up the phone on their lawyer.

Want to know the real reason your ConEd bills are through the roof? Surprise, surprise: it’s fossil fuel greed. We don’t have to accept price gouging OR deadly pollution. Join the fight to #BuildPublicRenewables for the future we deserve!

My name is Zohran Kwame Mamdani and I approve this message.

This kind of lawlessness + synchronicity with organized conservative grievance groups means that you do not actually have to do anything “big” to be a target. They are creating a regime where a local maga influencer deciding they don’t like the cut of your jib can mean a visit from the fbi / DHS.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

did anyone else notice the “save the whales from wind” people just laid off a lot of the people who help save whales

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

It's all a fucking game to these people.

this isn’t just about cutting environmental protections, and it sure as hell isn’t about efficiency - this is also about making disinformation official policy

I'm stepping on the theme of Chris' book here but, we have an extremely toxic information environment controlled by wealthy oligarchs who have aligned themselves with Trump, the whole point is to manipulate people into making poor decisions. bsky.app/profile/chri...

How many times are we going to have to read this same haughty, tedious argument. The right is winning because they’ve invested in media and persuasion far beyond the left for decades. They respect their activist flank while establishment Dems use their activists as excuses for failures.

the fascist administration is also a pro-wildfire administration

i think everyone needs to stop framing whats going on as “bending the knee” and what’s really happening which is “they’re finally feel free to do what they’ve always wanted to do”

nothing says “freedom” like a billionaire dictating what opinions you can publish 🫠

should go without saying but the Trump admin’s moves to basically enforce gas reliance are literally bad for everything (affordability, grid reliability, resiliency, etc.) EXCEPT fossil fuel industry profits the “energy emergency” schtick is just a front, this is what it was always about

Horrifying. This is how bureaucracy is the foundation of genocide. The State Department isn't saying, "You don't get a passport because you're trans." It's saying, "We just need more documents." The former is too monstrous so it's cloaked in the language of bureaucracy instead.

NYU Langone and other wealthy hospitals are capitulating to Trump’s attacks on LGBTQ and immigrant New Yorkers — while enjoying hundreds of millions of dollars in local tax breaks every year. I wrote about their publicly-subsidized cowardice at @jacobinmagazin.bsky.social.

getting a horrible sinking feeling thinking about how AI is both being fueled by *and* actively fueling misinformation / climate denial

on top of being one of the best legislators in the country, @sarahana.bsky.social has the best merch in the game

How have I been sleeping on warm salads this long
