Lawless regime deports a citizen, in open violation of a court order.

NYC Local Law 97 will help drive battery storage adoption, which will also help reduce utility bills. The law is creating jobs and cutting pollution, while reducing utility bills: www.hodgsonruss.com/newsroom/pub...

“Oops, sorry, I thought everyone would name the weird racial profiling stops that get people thrown in concentration camps after somebody else.”

You love to see it (it’s real money). Why Hochul was cancelling this program was beyond me. Everybody pushed to get her to back off the cuts, and she has. It’s a fraction of the $ need but also not tiny, pilot program-level nothingness. Hochul needs so much more push tho…

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

So much respect to her as a climate activist. It’s all connected.

"[L]et’s be real here (about the #KavanaughStop), ICE isn’t scouring the country for Irish bartenders who overstayed their visas; they’re targeting people of color — including those originally from Africa and the Middle East, but overwhelmingly those from Latin America."

How an entire bus gets held up. Stuff that’ll have to change to deliver fast and free buses. This is smith street rn. Lotta honking, needless to say. 🤦

For those of you clinging to the idea that Kathryn Garcia is a behind-the-scenes genius, here’s another massive screw up. It’s the governor’s doing ofc, but Garcia is part of the admin that’s in the tank for gas interests. Hopefully she does less damage at the port authority.

Heckuva job, Hochul www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/c...

Just like anyone who toadies up to Trump, Hochul gets humiliated. Now we get the super polluting pipeline that she approved, which also raises utility bills, AND Trump continues to attack the big NY offshore wind projects, which she was nominally trying to protect. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/c...

Hochul is stupid evil www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/c...

Hochul’s justification for approving the Williams NESE fracked gas pipeline for Trump was that he’d leave offshore wind alone. Now he’s attacking the wind projects, anyway. What a shock! 🙄 Hochul is in the bag for oil/gas and Trump on energy. 😡 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/c...

Informative thread about building electrification policy in New York right now ⬇️ #energysky #climatesky

NYC and NYS ended gas and oil in new construction. Repeal of the 100 foot rule is a backstop on new buildings to prevent gas by removing the subsidy where all ratepayers cover much of the cost of a new connection. That universal service subsidy doesn’t make sense anymore🧵

🎯 NYT is so arrogant in its misleading stories, headlines, tropes; it has money to be great, but stinks it up. Instead of taking on the internet challenge w/ civic value - truth telling, reporting - they went harder for both sides-ing & politics as conflict entertainment. Crucially helped Trump.

"BlackRock may have avoided receiving its inevitable lump of coal, but they are still number one on the climate naughty list." NYCERS pension board trustees tabled outgoing-Comptroller Brad Lander’s proposal to rebid a $40+ billion contract with #BlackRock #greensky stand.earth/press-releas...

Jeffries. Gah! prospect.org/2025/12/19/j...

It’s definitely better than not that Hochul signed the 100 foot rule repeal. It ends a stupid subsidy for new gas network connections. But it’s a very modest step (and she delayed it by a year). She’s been wrecking us on the big stuff, raising utility bills, increasing pollution & destroying jobs.

Do you like getting soaked in a nasty windy sudden huge downpour? I don’t! That’s one of the consequences of decades of politicians like Hochul doing the oil and gas industry’s bidding. Heavier downpours are getting more common and worse in NYC due to pollution from oil and gas.

We’re so excited to work with Leila Bozorg to deliver a rent freeze, improve living conditions and build new green homes in NYC that working families can afford!

Hahaha great release quote and statement from @stand.earth @richardbrooks.bsky.social on BlackRock and NYC 👀 stand.earth/press-releas...

People should understand this is psychotic. Data centers for AI using as much power as entire cities ====> climate doom & skyrocketing utility bills. It can’t be allowed to happen. H/t @michael-thomas.bsky.social

If Lander hadn’t inexplicably made this proposal at his *last meeting* in an institution I’ve never seen move expeditiously, it’d already be done. Thus our (broken) deal was for action over the summer or September. This exact proposal should’ve been done months ago. Onto Levine! 🧵

Very disappointed that Comptroller Lander and the NYCERS trustees did not vote to protect the hard-earned money of city workers by taking business away from asset managers that ignore the financial risks of climate change.

Disappointment seems not strong enough a word. Yes, @marklevinenyc.bsky.social this will need to be an early and often priority.

Stinks. Landered.

Breaking: A bad end to the year for NYC to protect the pension funds and the planet. We’re Looking to Levine as the Pensions Punt

Maybe there will be white smoke soon?

Live thread of the big pension fund board meeting. Will nyc dump $42 billion in BlackRock??? @bradlander.bsky.social get it done!

Scenes from pension fund meeting, which hasn’t started yet. The FT crowd lol. @nyccomptroller.bsky.social @bradlander.bsky.social is here in person (it’s unusual for principals to attend). About to start. This is the public part but the action will be in exec session (closed) I suppose I will live🧵

Big big big day on global-level climate action today (maybe): will @BradLander.bsky.social @NYCComptroller.bsky.social move $42 billion in city business away from BlackRock? Or not? The key pension fund meeting starts at 9:30. @nysfocus.bsky.social w/ the info 👀 nysfocus.com/2025/12/15/b...

Holy cow this is brilliant!!! 👀

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social can get NYC lower utility bills, less pollution & more good jobs by implementing and enforcing Local Law 97. The landlord lobby *hates it* b/c it makes them clean up polluting properties via energy efficiency investment. LFG! 🧵 hellgatenyc.com/mayor-mamdan...

I saw an article a couple of days ago, I think in Bloomberg, that was basically *economists* rolling their eyes about whether the U.S. economy would go into a recession. I believe 30% thought it would and the others were like no... In people's actual LIVES, the economy is already in recession.

Last night’s #DeadlineHochul call kicking off the mobilization for Saturday, April 18 was GREAT! NYers: Mark your calendar for Saturday, April 18th to march on Hochul in Albany to protest her bidding of the oil and gas industry!!!

Mamdani’s getting a much longer media honeymoon than I expected b/c so far he’s done some establishment stuff that rebukes the left. Keeping maga-compliant billionaire heiress Tisch on is the clearest example. The msm and billionaires ❤️ that. Tisch, rn: www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/16/n...

Big!!! 👀 👀 👀

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

TODAY! At 7pm NEW YORK 📢 Join a mass zoom call with @billmckibben.bsky.social and @markruffalo.bsky.social and @emilyassembly.bsky.social, groups for a hype call for #DeadlineHochul We’ll be marching on Hochul because she’s taking us backwards! RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/deadl...

For your week: Whether or not @nyccomptroller.bsky.social Lander delivers the major climate action he promised- or leaves w/ no major accomplishment of his own- is decided Wednesday. BlackRock, the world’s dirtiest money manager, could lose $42 BILLION from NYC. citylimits.org/opinion-will...

Put differently: When you hear that a bill is “bipartisan” you should be very afraid it’s a wicked combination of R noxiousness and D fecklessness.

I recently learned the term “mar-a-lago” face, and dear reader I haven’t been the same since

I ❤️ NYC this time of year

Elite fashions shifted on climate in the past few years. Thus, somebody like Carney shifted. I think it’s a response to mountains of dark money spending by networks like Leo’s. It’s shifted the msm, too. As always: it’s we, the people, who must push! www.ft.com/content/e5a0...

Great to see these on my block! Tax the rich, @governor.ny.gov Hochul!

New York: Join Monday’s hype call! actionnetwork.org/events/deadl...

Lander’s off and running for his next job. (I’ll vote for him over Goldman). Yet his record as @nyccomptroller.bsky.social’s been lackluster to date: broken promises for major climate action. But he can fulfill his promises w/ a huge accomplishment at his last pension fund mtng, next week🧵
