City releases first glimpse into Climate Action Plan

NY19 when we gonna talk about Riley’s latest transgression?

New York State, y’all ready to talk adaptation yet?

BUFFALO: Join @ufw.bsky.social on Monday, May 5th for an emergency rally to demand the release of detained farm worker leaders.

Well. Wasn’t expecting that so soon #TheLastofUs

Tariffs will likely hit the US LNG industry in a broader and more painful way than the oil industry.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Does anyone else get really excited by brilliantly designed lighting? No? Just me? Coolcoolcool.

In New York and other cities where congestion pricing policies, bike infrastructure projects, and car bans have been put in place, cyclists are finding the streets more welcoming. That’s no coincidence.

"We need to know if we have this budget or not." Barbara Buffaloe, mayor of Columbia, MO tells @emilypont.bsky.social. Can cities still be bulwarks for climate action without federal funding? It's complicated ⬇️

Low key VERY nervous about the future of NOAA and its line offices. You should be, too btw

If Trump actually pardons Chauvin every single momma (and everyone else for that matter) better wake up and lock tf in.

The main problem with fascism is how extremely fucking stupid it is.

When I worked at a local uni & with the Sunrise Mvmnt, I was often reminded of the joy that comes w youth organizing that I now sorely miss. This is a video I received long after I had gone to bed back in 2018. I hope it brings you joy C: we’re here & we’re partying M: no C: I mean recycling.

I'm really touched to have been nominated and been awarded the Centennial Under 40 Impact Award from the National League of Cities. Serving my home is the greatest professional privilege of my life.

The NCAA’s cowardice is on full display with their decision to comply with Trump’s transphobic EO. To say NCAA is an org dedicated to “well-being & life-long success” of athletes is horseshit if you’re selective with circumstances and the pool of athletes. Fuck sportsball - I didn’t get it anyway.

A conservative group backed by a grant from the Heritage Foundation has set up a "DEI Watchlist" with dossiers on civil servants it claims pushed DEI policies at US agencies. The site shows information and photos of the workers it labels as "targets." Most of those named are minorities or women.

In case it’s not already abundantly clear, this is an all out war on the working class. Systematically dismantling the NLRB, EEOC, invalidating labor agreements, hamstringing the right to unionize, & now suggesting eliminating OSHA will undoubtedly cost lives & livelihoods. We need to act like it.

The entanglement of tribal nations with ICE shouldn’t be a surprise. Remember a promise of Trump’s campaign was to “drill, baby, drill”, which becomes an impossibility unless Trump and his racist delinquents physically remove Indigenous People from their land.

Education Department employees have been placed on leave for attending diversity training. Meanwhile, Republicans have introduced a bill to eliminate the Department of Education.

So when are we going to start calling it a coup?

By hamstringing the NLRB, Trump is waging a direct assault on organized labor and the working class.

Ousted Democratic NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox calls her firing by Trump illegal and says she will pursue "all legal avenues" to challenge it www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Moments before a federal judge paused the agency spending freeze, @romany-webb.bsky.social and I published our assessment of what this all means. I hope you’ll read it if you’re interested - the judge gave us some time, but the uncertainty remains. blogs.law.columbia.edu/climatechang...

It's happening - environmental justice staffers are being placed on leave. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

The federal administration has just announced its intention to freeze several trillion dollars of grant funding to recipients around the world. This dangerous and reckless decision will materially harm the American people, our economy, and US interests around the world.

With all the EOs, internal memos, and fascist signaling, now feels like a good time to remember that hope isn’t always the “Thing with Feathers”.

Hello Friends & Neighbors, I'm excited to announce the launch of my campaign to represent the First Ward on the Ithaca Common Council! Join us Thursday, 6 PM, at the Tompkins County Public Library to kick off our campaign for a more affordable & stable Ithaca! actionnetwork.org/events/jorge...

Preach.

Despite raging #HurstFire, the LAC Probation Dept has not evacuated the two youth carceral facilities in Sylmar, even after issuing mandatory evacuations in surrounding areas. KIDS are not disposable or collateral damage to our inability to adapt to climate change. Evacuate and decarcerate.

The Sierra Club-era environmentalist movement can be so fucking toxic. This is from a local climate listserv and despite the endless reporting on the literal murderous fallout of hot takes like this, people still feel like this is a solid stance. What populations do u think will be req’d to curb?

And let's not forget that Chenjerai was hired to teach *journalism* at NYU, because he is an award-winning broadcaster. For doing the thing he was hired to teach, he is now being being declared "PNG" at NYU. Wild stuff.

I need someone to do a spoof of this snarky local “gift” ideas

After eating at least half of the toxic plants in my house and a $100 Pet Poison Helpline bill, Lois was prescribed whipped cream. She has recovered well. We should all be so lucky.

The toxicity of landlords knows no bounds. Rolling up to a quiet neighborhood on a Sunday and laying on your horn incessantly bc “your” parking spot isn’t available then reaming the tenant for “taking” it is low key insane.

Literally nothing makes me happier than when friends send me unsolicited pics of their pets. Oh, Captain Slippers got into the trash again? Yes, please. Jellybean ate your floor boards n looks hella guilty? Absolutely. Hambone is literally just existing? Kill me with photos.

A parking lot turns into 174 homes over shops in Boise. (2019➡️2022)

Climate Justice Alliance was the only program grantee to speak out on Palestine — and the only one whose funding is delayed.

Happy Hanksgiving, everybody. May your sportball be kind, your pals and hobbies escapist, your belt low and loose, your fences for bullshit high, and your bevvies cold.

I see a lot of poo-pooing #hydrogen on this app which leads me to believe there’s either a lot of misinformation or not enough information about the innovation in the field. H2 is NECESSARY for EV charging and load flexibility and CAN be completely independent from the grid.

Gotta say it’s real convenient when you and your dog take the same meds when you run out…

COP29 Groundhog deja vu Day all over again and again all over again…

Optimist: the cup is ½ full Pessimist: the cup is ½ empty Proponent of dangerously incorrect carbon accounting: half of the cup has water in it, and the other half has avoided water in it. Therefore, the cup has achieved net zero water.
