Trump is running an all-you-can-eat corruption buffet. We need to get money out of politics and build a future by the people, and for the people—not the billionaire class.

Vaccine "skeptics" aren't skeptics, they're deniers of well-understood, long- established science. Just like #climate "skeptics" aren't skeptics, they're deniers of well-understood, long-established science. And this crackpot caters to them.

Awesome photo c/o the lovely and talented @kenschles.bsky.social 👏 Hochul and Trump, together 😂 This was just before today’s arrests as we blocked the entrance to the gov’s office (again). Hochul should not push and the Legislature should not adopt Trump’s energy agenda.

Warnock on SCOTUS: No one elected this Court—to decide what kind of remedies we need in this moment. It’s really not up to the Supreme Court to say, “Well, we have reached the threshold where this issue around race and inclusion is no longer necessary.” That is not the job of the Court.

Important reporting from @nyc.streetsblog.org that shows exactly why civil liberties groups don't trust leaving buffer zone enforcement to NYPD discretion: a retired NYPD chief admitting using discretion around ticketing to let off allies & friends. Selective suppression of speech is inevitable.

The real estate lobby has been working hard to weaken Local Law 97. @petesikora.bsky.social makes the case for why Mayor Mamdani should enforce Local Law 97 as designed, close loopholes, and keep the city on track for deeper emissions cuts. www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/mam...

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

@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. 🫤

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. 🧵

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.

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.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.
