@governor.ny.gov took a page from Big Oil propagandists to slow walk, underfund and delay on climate action. She has the bully pulpit, a super majority legislature, the law and science behind her, and all she does is make excuses, bend a knee to Trump, the crypto bros and the fossil fuel industry. 🫤

We are lucky and honored to work alongside @kenschles.bsky.social, a brilliant photographer and activist!

Hochul’s dirty deal w/ Trump on the pipeline follows other pro-oil & gas decisions. The NYS DEC commissioner, NYSERDA president NYS PSC chair talk like they’re pro-consumer/anti-pollution, but they govern like oil/gas lobbyists. Lefton, Harris & Christian should resign. 🧵

NY needs a leader, not a fossil fuel enabler. actionnetwork.org/forms/pledge...

Outrageous sell out of NY by Hochul to Trump. Join us to protest at 330 today

Authoritarians are trying to stop us from exercising the basic right to protest. The NOPE Act would uphold free speech and ensure accountability for those who try to violate these rights. Tell your Reps to support it: https://fwwat.ch/3Ixemr8 (Photo: @kenschles.bsky.social)

Cancel the Trump pipelines @governor.ny.gov Reinstate the windfarms and their associated transmission cables, fully build out the NYPA, follow the mandates of the Climate Action Council and, yes, the CLCPA. New York Is Violating Its Flagship Climate Law, Judge Rules @nysfocus.bksy.social

Local Law 97 is (was?) the nation’s leading local jobs and climate law. But Mayor Adams unceremoniously eviscerated the law at the behest of the real estate lobby. Don’t let landlords to buy their way out of reducing pollution. Pass CM De La Rosa’s Intro 1180 to close the landlord loophole!

@schumer.senate.gov don’t cave to POTUS threats that a shutdown will create a pretext for more firings. We’re already in an ongoing shutdown and ongoing acquiescence to Trump’s charade only highlights the fact that Congress is not functional. Assert oversight, stand strong and call out the charade.

@nyccomptroller.bsky.social 2 days after you spoke alongside @billmckibben.bsky.social for #SunDay2025 and then dined w/ @climatedefiance.bsky.social BECAUSE of this historic agreement to divest NYC from dirt money managers — are you so ignominious as to backtrack? Say it's not so!

@governor.ny.gov @nysdps.bsky.social @dec.ny.gov time to get your log term environmental plans back on track. Time to assert states rights and uphold NYS law. Time to stand up to authoritarians. Time to get your heads out of your butts. #noTrumpPipelines

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

News Release: Over 1,000 New Yorkers pledge to @KathyHochul @governor.ny.gov: I will not vote for you if you do Trump’s bidding by approving the Williams fracked gas pipelines. #NoTrumpPipelines Take the pledge 👇

🤔When @governor.ny.gov cancels renewable projects, funds speculative unproven nuke technology at taxpayer expense, subverts meeting mandated goals of NY climate laws, and meets behind closed doors with POTUS to collude to build unnecessary fossil fuel projects, are these grounds for impeachment? 🧐

📷😀

@governor.ny.gov There’s no walking back complicity with authoritarians. Reject the Trump pipelines. Your democratic base will not vote in a Vichy governor come November. Stop the Williams NESE pipeline. #notrumppipelines #stopwilliamsnese

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social when are you going to stand up publicly to oppose the Williams NESE pipeline? Your silence is very loud

Hey Assembly Member @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, just wondering what your thoughts are on the Williams Pipeline☠️ which would poison our beaches, worsen climate change and raise costs for working families?? It would be SO helpful if you spoke out against it!

@governor.ny.gov do not irreparably alienate your base. Reject the Williams NESE pipeline #notrumppipelines !

Hey @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social it’s time to come out against the Williams NESE fracked gas pipeline project that Trump is demanding. If it’s approved it will raise utility bills, pollute the air and water, and cook the climate. ⏰

Glad to see our congressional leaders pushing back on the truncated deadline of the Williams NESE pipeline. NYers don’t need to building more fracked gas infrastructure during #climatebreakdown #notrumppipelines

Today, I led @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @ocasio-cortez.house.gov, and @velazquez.house.gov in a letter to @governor.ny.gov and @dec.ny.gov requesting that they extend the public comment and hearing period for the Williams NESE Pipeline.

Hey, New York - come join us and march against Trump fracked gas pipelines this Saturday morning! RSVP: fwwat.ch/4lxpthf Photo credit: @kenschles.bsky.social

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

🧵GOOD NEWS, New Yorkers! But only if we act on it. Old news: We won a moratorium on using fossil fuels for cryptomining until DEC assesses the environmental impacts. New news: The draft EIS, just released, is GOOD! Now we need to SHOW UP AND COMMENT👇 etapestry.sky.blackbaud.com/prod/viewEma...

A tipping point of planetary importance has been breached www.icm.csic.es/en/news/chan...

Pressure keeps building to reject Project Maple and other fossil fuel projects throughout NY @governor.ny.gov riverjournalonline.com/around-town/...

This is 4 years of work to get to this point call Speaker Heastie today. The fossil fuel utilities are trying to kill NY’s clean air future!

Andrew Cuomo is a Climate Disaster. On May 28 at 4:30 in Greenpoint, BK, we will rally with climate leaders from across NYC, calling out Andrew Cuomo's record for what it is: a throwback to fossil fuel and MAGA allyship our city cannot afford. RSVP here: www.mobilize.us/ny-wfp/event...

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social I strongly urge you to oppose H. Con. Res. 14, which provides benefits for the wealthiest among us and slashes needed programs for the rest of us. I urge you to vote against it.

I don't know what this means, but I'm the one who wrote a fully updated, 624-page hurricane response plan at FEMA that took over 2 years of work and careful coordination among state and federal agencies. He could start by studying that.

AMAZING & HISTORIC: @nyccomptroller.bsky.social @bradlander.bsky.social takes it to Trump by announcing policy moving NYC’s ~$300 pension funds from dirtier money managers to cleaner firms. Globally-significant action for NYC to protect both the pensions and the planet! Clean up, Wall Street💪 🧵

This is a big win for the climate and an example of responsible governance, Thank you @nyccomptroller.bsky.social

So grateful for @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social 💕

It was 🥶 in front of Governor Hochul’s office but we got it 🔥 with a picket line 💪 Hochul must remove Eric Adams and Stand Up to Trump!

Best of today’s march 😂😂😂 Hey Hochul, read the room, Eric Adams has got to go! Photo: @kenschles.bsky.social

"We are two weeks in, and it is already painfully clear this is the most corrupt administration in U.S. history." @pattymurray.bsky.social

BREAKING: @wyden.senate.gov announces that Elon Musk is trying to overrule the Treasury Secretary and shut down IRS Direct File. "It's our understanding that Musk is going after that. That will be an immense burden on people who have already started to file their taxes. This is out of control!"

We’re in a constitutional crisis. Demand action from your Democratic representatives.

Dems need to turn the fire hose back on these pricks open.substack.com/pub/newrepub...

NY Governor Kathy Hochul “delaying” cap & invest is a big smooch to the Fox News crowd. They will vote for Lawler anyway (if she gets past a primary). As L.A. burns, New Yorkers will pay more, lose good jobs and gain pollution. We’re in danger! Legislators must “be the adults,” and lead.

People should know Hochul is cancelling cap & invest, which is the centerpiece of NY state’s climate plan, created by her appointees. Without it, it’s impossible for NY to hit pollution reductions. Hochul’s move is similar to cancelling congestion pricing. Devastating. It must be reversed.

NEW STUDY: Penn State researchers find radioactivity in mussels downstream of fracking waste spots, raising concerns about possible harm to eagles. Chemical signature matches radioactivity found in fracking waste. Maybe don’t turn the Earth inside out. insideclimatenews.org/news/0201202...
