The big new clean energy transmission project into NYC, CHPE, is currently delivering 1,250 megawatts of hydropower into the city grid. 👍 ✅ lower electricity prices ✅ less pollution ✅ good jobs Unfortunately, Hochul has no discernible plan for more like this. Needed!

25th Amendment? We can’t even get network news to air it or even mention it. It’s a massive national media coverup to hide the fact the we have an addled president.

The president of Cornell backed his car into a student and a recent grad after a campus debate on Israel-Palestine. Then he lied about what happened in an email claiming he'd been the victim of harassment. Then, magnificently, Cornell's student newspaper found a video of the incident

I actually don't think the Republican Senator mixed up "Hawks" and "Hawkeyes." Going by his own statements, it appears his staff saw he went to a basketball game on that date and googled basketball games and found the only men's game that night in the whole country was in Atlanta.

I still remember the CNN reporter outside the Steubenville trial commenting that two lives had just been ruined, referring to the perps.

“As a shareholder, Alito has been warned that climate deception lawsuits pose financial risks to his investments. As a Supreme Court Justice, he has been told how Suncor v. Boulder can prevent those lawsuits from advancing, removing the risk to his investments,” said @consumerwatchdog.bsky.social

You guessed it, coefficient giving (formerly open Phil) and Longview philanthropy. Pretty wild this journalist just happened to cover his fellowships funders’ other projects sloppy preprints without disclosing it. Maybe he didn’t know!

For the average law student, climate change feels both catastrophic and strangely invisible. 📖 Teaching Environmental Law in Context, by Rebecca Bratspies and Carmen Gonzalez, examines the federal government’s failure to act and asks a key❓: Can states fill the gap, despite limited resources? 👇

If Zohran’s using every tool in the toolbox as they posted above, this is a big tool he pledged to use and hasn’t (yet). And REBNY strongly opposes him using THIS tool.

I actually want to vomit. There is nothing that can redeem this moment. We are living through a regime that is victimizing immigrants in at least as bad a way as early Nazi Germany victimized Jews. We all fucking know. We, all of us, live in the Zone of Interest.

But as soon as the “trickle-down” economics bullshit was revealed as false, those voters melted away from Reagan’s party. But the people who voted for Reagan because he was a racist (Neshoba State Fair, state’s rights, lies about welfare queens) remained. They are Trump’s voters today

Great New Music Mondays-- "Tron Suite" by Wendy Carlos. This work, written as part of her score for the cult classic movie "Tron" uses lots of electronics and moog synthesizor. Great use of a full choir, too! Note that this score is from the 90's and Carlos is a trans woman composer. #SkyMusic

Had just moved from the Village to teach at Idaho. That AM I woke to Bob Edwards crying on air saying "I can't see the second tower." From asleep to catastrophe instantly. Just typing it brings back the trauma of those days. No way to know about friends. So many lost. And then lies and warmongering.

I worked with Ramzi for years at CUNY He represented the people unjustly and unconstitutionally caged at Gitmo--most of whom were just unlucky bystanders wholly unconnected to A Quada or the 9/11 attacks.
