Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 08/10/2026We're only interested in ending the era of fossil fuels and making space for a world built on human dignity and a livable future. And we're committed to keep showing TF up for anyone standing in the way of that. 0140
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 08/10/2026So we made sure that the worst thing that happened to them was us. Because we're not interested in compromise with climate criminals. We're not interested in the "fireside chat". 1140
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Each of the people we disrupted this Climate Week runs on the assumption that the rooms they walk into are safe. They walk into their panels, their galas, their cocktail hours, thinking the worst thing that can happen to them is a limp canapé. 3299
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 08/10/2026In this terrifying moment of climate breakdown and fascist takeover, we deserve real leaders, not spineless shills. It's well and truly time to chuck Chuck. 061
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Because his own daughter lobbies state governments on behalf of OpenAI. Because New Yorkers haven't heard from him in four long months. And because while our planet face existential collapse, he's busy smirking at galas sponsored by Amazon. 162
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Want to know why we disrupted Chuck Schumer two weeks ago? Well because he approves pipelines. Because he's funded by AIPAC. Because in the Bronx, where @asiah.quatt is from, people can't afford to buy inhalers. 1134
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Maryland's data center fight is about to get loud! 020
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 07/10/2026So we made our own speech. And we won't stop making them. Because they've got the billionaires — but we've got everyone else. This action was brought to you by our brand new DMV chapter. Follow @climatedefiancedmv for everything DC, Maryland, and Virginia, starting with this. 140
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Speakers toasted "more data centers" and told the room AI would save more lives than any other human invention. Another explained that if America doesn't build data centers, then China will, and that we needed to be like the good guy with a gun. No, this was not satire. 140
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Peter Thiel's Founders Fund (double 🤮). In other words: 70% of Americans don't want a data center near them, but the billionaires need them, so they rented a bar and handed out nicotine. Groundbreaking. 150
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The whole embarrassing shitshow was thrown by a twenty-something "tech journalist" propped up by Young Voices, a talent agency for young conservatives funded by the Koch Institute and the Atlas Network — and co-presented by Pirate Wires, which is run by the marketing chief of 140
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 07/10/2026We went to a pro-data center party. Yes, that's a real thing. It was called "Data After Dark", was held at a crypto bar in DC (🤮), had a tray of Zyns for the guests, as well as an AI photo booth that put you in business casual inside a data center. Living the dream. 2186
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 06/10/2026now_backup for more information and ways to take action. 000
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 06/10/2026We owe it to ourselves and the world to keep pressure on the Brooklyn Navy yard. We know that Lindsay Greene has the power to kick out Crye. When we come together we can deliver wins for communities both local and international. Follow @demilitarizebklynnavyyard and @dbny. 100
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Email the Brooklyn Navy Yard's President and CEO, Lindsay Greene (lgreene@bnydc.org) and those responsible, and demand that the companies complicit in the genocide in Gaza and the kidnappings of our immigrant neighbors be expelled from our city. 100
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 06/10/2026We have the ability to do something about it through public pressure. 100
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 06/10/2026CALL TO ACTION: We have the power to evict Crye Precision — a military contractor that supplies gear for the IOF and ICE — from tax-subsidized public land in New York City. The Brooklyn Navy Yard, has multiple leases with Crye that violates New York’s sanctuary city laws. 120
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Read our latest Substack by @davidsonboswell on what it's like to watch a US Senator flee his own stage. Link in bio. 161
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Because we keep asking this man to fight, we keep pleading with him to lead, we keep begging him to do literally anything — and instead he just keeps drafting strongly worded letters and actively siding with fascism. 172
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Last week we chased Chuck Schumer out of his own Amazon-sponsored tent. 14014
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Rogers mask off and expose him for the arch villain that he is. This is the power of direct action: to shine sunlight in dark places. To expose the hypocrisy. David Rubenstein is a criminal of the highest order, and, on this rare night, he was treated as such. 060
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 02/10/2026You will find this overachiever's name on the boards of Harvard, the Kennedy Center, the Smithsonian, and many more, all while his firm keeps fracking, drilling, building pipelines, and destroying our future. Well, we are here to rip his Mr. 130
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 02/10/2026And of course Rubenstein likes to launder all of the above "accomplishments" with his philanthropy. 120
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Plus, before Rubenstein and Carlyle made billions from oil, they were making billions buying up defense contractors and cashing out on a war that killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. 120
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This titan of industry co-founded the Carlyle Group, which holds approximately $24 BILLION in fossil fuels and has one of the biggest dirty-energy portfolios in all of private equity. In fact, for every $1 Carlyle put into renewables, it also put $16 into oil and gas. 120
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 02/10/2026If private equity was a video game filled with Patagonia vest-wearing bros buying your hospital and firing the nurses, David Rubenstein would be the final boss. 120
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 02/10/2026David Rubenstein is a poorly disguised wolf in sheep's clothing. A man who has done so much to destroy the world through his investments in fossil fuel projects and weapons manufacturers has decided to spend his latter years interviewing baseball celebrities like Cal Ripken. 1144
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Palantir represents the existential threat facing working people everywhere: the billionaire class increasingly dictating our quality of life and waging escalating attacks on our democracy. 181
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 01/10/2026While co-founder Peter Thiel and CEO Alex Karp rake in billions, our communities face austerity, deportations, and deepening state violence. 140
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Unfortunately, Palantir didn't bite. Palantir's technology powers ICE raids, enables Israel's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, and builds tools for the US Department of Defense and domestic policing. 141
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 01/10/2026A dozen orcs stormed the Palantir offices in Seattle this week to apply for jobs at the surveillance tech company. Palantir's militarized AI products attracted the horde of orcs, who hoped that their history of serving the Dark Lords would land them a gig. 55221
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 30/09/2026At the very last minute, Justice Alito announced he was recusing himself from Suncor Vs. Boulder which will be in front of SCOTUS in a few days. The pressure is mounting and groups like our friends at the Center for Climate Integrity and Make Polluters Pay are organizing. 083
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 26/09/2026We will continue work with @demilitarizebklynnavyyard and show up until Crye Precision is gone, and we call on the office of @nycmayor to support this movement! 071
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 26/09/2026We disrupted Lindsey Greene, the BNY’s president and CEO and president, to demand that they remove this machinery of death from New York. 161
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Companies profiting from the genocide in Gaza — and the home-grown gestapo snatching mothers off our streets — have no place in Brooklyn, or the world for that matter. 130
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Crye Precision profits from the nexus of war and climate collapse, right in the heart of our city, on our public lands. We have the power to change that. 130
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Hidden in plain sign, the City of New York is leasing public lands at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to a defense contractor supplying weapons tech to ICE and the IDF. 1309
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 24/09/2026We pledge to keep confronting all the cowardly politicians who take corrupt death-enabling money while calling it economic development. And we pledge to keep coming for ANYONE who thinks merely uttering the word "pledge" is a substitute for actually keeping one. 11116
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 24/09/2026And one that we won't break . . . We solemnly pledge to keep disrupting all the BS "sustainability" directors doing Simone Biles-level backflips to make emissions sound like a hipster yoga retreat while the planet burns. 11176
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Cliff notes: a company that co-founded something called "The Climate Pledge" is now building the single largest source of climate pollution in the country, on purpose, in 2026. Lol. No really, it's utterly fucked. But don't worry guys, because we have a pledge too. 111014
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 24/09/2026In fact their own spokeswoman Margaret Callahan's explanation for the gas plant was that the world looks different now than when they made the pledge. Correct, Madge. It's hotter. Which was the whole point of the pledge in the first place. 11299
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 24/09/2026One that is permitted to emit 33 MILLION tons of CO2 a year, more than any other power plant in the United States. This plant is not *one of* the largest emitters. It is the single largest. And let's not forget that Amazon's emissions have gone up every year for YEARS. 112515
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 24/09/2026off the grid so nobody can regulate it. Imagine the gall of using words like 'sustainability', 'net zero', and 'water positive' while Daddy Bezos is building a fracked gas power plant in Pecos County, Texas, to run an AI data center. 113411
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 24/09/2026We confronted their senior executive Alexis Bateman - the so-called sustainability director. She is shameless. Utterly shameless. Imagine the audacity of coming to Climate Week to talk about your cloud's carbon footprint while your company builds a 7.65-gigawatt gas plant - 116823
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 24/09/2026HUGE UPDATE: we halted Amazon's panel at Climate Week. We shut it down so hard that every guest and every speaker had to leave the premises. No one was able to return. Their whole event lasted less time than their warehouse workers' pee break. 25748257
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Put together a "climate working group" of oil-industry knobs -- their report being what the EPA used to rip up the endangerment finding Green-lighting gas export terminals Telling the Senate that there's no such thing as clean energy or dirty energy 041
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Since taking office, this protege clown has done all the horrific things you'd expect he'd do. 110
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 24/09/2026He’s the only person in history who's drank fracking fluid on camera and thought this was a good thing! He’s the absolute clown that the other bigger clown put in charge of the climate. 210
Climate Defiance @climatedefiance.bsky.social · 24/09/2026He’s a former fracking CEO and climate denier who announced to the world on video that there's no climate crisis. 100
