Mamdani endorsing Hochul so early with no major deal really sucks ($1B+ for child care ain’t it, imho). It doesn’t seem like he got much for us. And he’s severely hurt efforts to pressure Hochul in the budget/primary context. At minimum, the extreme early timing is very bad. 🧵

@governor.ny.gov Hochul, blue state governor of one of the world’s richest places, tries to roll back climate-heating pollution reduction requirements as she caters to corporate power. Meanwhile, African pastoralists barely survive as climate-driven drought hits. 😢 www.reuters.com/business/env...

@lizkrueger.bsky.social: “It’s time to hit the pause button, give ourselves some breathing room to adopt strong policies on data centers, and avoid getting caught in a bubble that will burst and leave New York utility customers footing a huge bill.”

All those local bans against renewables projects are simply elected officials responding to their NIMBY constituents, right? Not so fast. Opponents of this OH solar project included dozens of anonymous commenters & ~34 instances in which people gave false names or lied about their residence.

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

Omg 😂😂😂 if AIPAC blew it like this and Mejia won!!! www.northjersey.com/story/opinio...

Horrifying

Getting $1B is not a monster accomplishment. Again, I hope this maneuvering works to deliver major results, but a $1B commitment ain’t it. I don’t have a crystal ball. Hopefully it’s vastly more. Cozying up to/becoming the Dem establishment ain’t what I want. Huge results needed!

The Obama-like ultra-conciliatory posture Mamdani is adopting with respect to Hochul could be a giant error. I really hope it won’t be. We need the results, not the vibes - and it has to happen in the state budget (April). Blazing high popularity doesn’t last!

Join us at Deadline Hochul mass mobilization in Albany on April 18! We will demand Hochul stop approving new fossil fuel projects & breaking the climate law, & instead accelerate the transition to renewable energy. @greenfaith.bsky.social @nychange.bsky.social secure.everyaction.com/AObq13WWIkWE...

Hochul, referring to the CLCPA 20-year metric for tallying emissions: “I wanted to meet those goals; they’re great. It’s always fun to be nation leading...” Governor, this isn't about "fun." Let's watch what she does in the next two weeks.

The conventional portrayal was that Mamdani was putting the charms on Hochul, but now it looks like the reverse: she successfully charmed HIM. I hope @ZohranKMamdani.bsky.social got some deal for his agenda, including tax the rich. Otherwise this makes no sense to me so early. No leverage.

Hochul tells this ridiculous lie the NY climate/jobs law - requiring pollution cuts at the pace to prevent global catastrophe - is “unrealistic” but: 1. It’s not. 2. What is the “cost” of a dead planet? 3. She’s the one who delayed actions needed for years! spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

I must have missed the Mamdani campaign speech where he promised to endorse Hochul “so fast your head will spin”. I hope he got a great deal, including taxing the rich. I hope! But this sure hurts every other effort trying to move her. (And our chance for better!) www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Meanwhile Zohran Mamdani is endorsing Kathy Hochul 😞

…and it’s real according to other outlets. A body blow.

Great!!!

This is depressing. Mamdani killed the primary challenge to Hakeem Jeffries and now he is essentially killing the primary challenge to Hochul. Hope he does good stuff, but he's acting to enhance his own influence while killing off broader transformative political change in the state.

Ugh really bad if for real www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

While the possibility of holding global heating below 1.5C is dim and therefore we're into some level of catastrophe, the difference bet/w vastly worse and what 1.5 does is IMMENSE. We can avert global horror. To do so we MUST force oil/gas-lobby pawns like Kathy Hochul to act!

Great story! Let’s get a #GasFreeNYC ✅ lower energy costs ✅ good, union jobs ✅ less pollution Via ditching old, dirty oil/gas boilers ==> energy efficient systems @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @council.nyc.gov pix11.com/video/skyroc...

We protested “National Greed” aka National Grid, the gas utility, for a #GasFreeNYC! ✅ lower costs ✅ good jobs ✅ less pollution NYC: let’s get rid of old, dirty oil/gas boilers ====> energy efficient, modern systems Wassup @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @nyccouncil.bsky.social

Great!!! Also: what a writer! A true judicial smack down. If she and they were capable of feeling shame, they’d crawl into a corner to die. 👀

Good! The other big NY offshore wind project can now restart as judge order Trump to back off. Critical for NY electricity to be less expensive and for job creation, pollution reductions!

Please my heat is so expensive 😫🥶

One thing that’s interesting about the neighborhoods that we’re focused on for #GasFreeNYC is that neither Mamdani’s primary nor general election campaign door-knocked them. (That was an effective choice for limited volunteers, but also these nabes matter, which mamdani knows) 🧵

This is good! He shouldn’t micromanage. Communications is key, too!

Shows the profound folly of policy guided by what's good for the "economy," as against what's good for people. The two are often not the same, especially at a time of stark economic & political inequality.

Studs Terkel would often say, "I never met a petition I didn’t like.” My saying is I've never met a *canvass* I didn't like. Thanks @nychange.bsky.social for doing field on this issue. PS—Governor Hochul is delaying implementation of the All-Electric Buildings law. Vote @delgadoforny.bsky.social!

Scabby is cool, but have you seen dancing pig?

Nurse strike!

If you really want to make a difference through electoral action get involved in/donate to primaries where the left/progressives/liberals take on corporate democrats. Many such examples!!!

the thing is, the way it looks right now democrats are going to do really well even by default. dont have to go on record promising anything, dont need to be bold, dont need to put themselves out there and theyll probably get control thats just not good enough

I would really like it if the next big no kings type protests ALSO shut down Trump buildings. I think it’s great we’re marching around but this sort of direct action to shut him down is needed!

Not for nothing but I can think of a half dozen legal things the nypd and other police under blue city mayors could be doing to ICE/CBP. Example: stop protecting them from protesters. Example: why are protesters the only ones following ICE around and warning communities?

The economy is currently juiced by data center, AI, and for-profit prison construction. Bleak stuff! We have to stop them!

It happened! Bluesky goes up and over Twitter, which i started at in 2012

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range. And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

Let’s go #GasFreeNYC!

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

You don't have to be too cool for school on this stuff. The documents are very bad.

Thanks for catching this on video, Pete! Really great to see. And friends, I recommend following @getfree-mvmt.bsky.social, which helped organize this.

Videos from Gaza show huge explosions as Israeli air attacks hit a building in Gaza City and tents in al-Mawasi. Gaza’s Government Media Office says more than 500 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since a US-brokered ceasefire came into effect on October 10.

Anti-DHS protesters in LA moved a huge dumpster, partially blocking agents in their building.
