It’s time this city empowered small businesses—not bury them in fines, fees and endless bureaucracy.

Here’s my plan.

NYSERDA shortened its mission statement "for impact and clarity." No more references to climate change

To Resist Trump’s Academic Purge, Campuses Must Unite With Each Other Trump’s attack on US universities is escalating. Here’s how we resist.

After Trump has most recently targeted Harvard, freezing billions in funding and threatening to remove their tax exempt status, students and faculty of all universities must unite in order to advocate for academic freedom and freedom of speech.

On the anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, America’s unions mourn the 146 lives lost on that tragic day, many of whom were immigrant women. More than a century later, the labor movement must continue to stand in solidarity and protect workers’ safety on the job.

Find us at the AAG today at our first two sessions on Dismantling the Palestine Exception. At 12:50, "On fighting academic/political repression in geography." Then at 2:30, an intro to our organizing work in "On divestment and the role of geographers: Meet Geographers for Justice in Palestine."

Chuck Schumer managed to piss off everyone from AOC to Adam Kinzinger with his fecklessness- all while still having no plan, no strategy, except to roll over and give Trump what he wants. Active refusal to do his job as the leader of the opposition party in the senate. Bizarre behaviour.

The Trump administration cancels $400 million in grants and contracts to Columbia University.

They adopted a posture of total submission and it bought them precisely nothing. A lesson for the Trump era www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

Every single day

So relieved NO OTHER LAND won, I was worried. If the Oscars are actually important in any way it’s to platform speeches like this.

The fact that this movie doesn’t have an American distributor is shameful.

Silvia Federici on The Arcana of Reproduction The Arcana of Reproduction is a unique book in the world of Marxist feminism. Generally, Marxist feminists have elaborated on the methodological significance of Marx’s work for understanding the speci...

"When Fortunati was working on The Arcana of Reproduction, her approach was iconoclastic – for, as the title of the book suggests, few social realities have been so manipulated as the sphere of reproduction, especially in Italy where years of Fascism had turned maternity into a religion."

Anyone who happened to know that the White House would announce and then suspend tariffs within 24 hours just made a boatload of money.

Event? Fine, honestly nice. Marketing?? Questionable. IN AN ISRAELI NIGHT CLUB?? Now wtf...

Tweet from MapQuest: fyi MapQuest is NOT renaming the Gulf of Mexico - not because of politics but because we haven't updated our maps in like 15 years and don't remember how to do it 3:01 PM • Jan 29, 2025

To do list for this moment:

1. Establish a discipline of calling your Congressional reps every day.
2. Join an ongoing organizing effort in your local community.
3. Take on at least one personal habit that expands your capacity for attention, compassion, and commitment.

Join us on March 26th to ask NYC's Mayoral candidates how they will address climate and environmental justice issues as the next Mayor!

Congress is acting! Quite an off-off broadway experience. Although actions like voting against Trump's nomination have proven to be difficult.

then again, NYS is a famously backwards democracy

state legislative sessions shouldn't be <6 months in the first place. y'all don't ride horses to Albany anymore

there's got to be ways to keep NYS budget hearings under 8 hours...

Environmental Justice Advocates in New York City Fault Statewide Plan for Renewable Energy Development - Inside Climate News The New York Power Authority has proposed 40 new renewable energy projects, but only one is in New York City. Advocates say that could delay the closure of natural gas “peaker plants.”

this is a huge deviation from what the public overwhelmingly expressed during the public engagement process

Trump Throws Wrench into Offshore Wind — And New York’s Clean Energy… On his first day in office, Trump ordered federal agencies to halt all new approvals for offshore wind, which New York is counting on to meet climate…

Well, he went and did it — and put a big chunk of NY’s clean energy plans in jeopardy.

My look at how the state is receiving Trump’s wind order so far: nysfocus.com/2025/01/23/d...

i’m so tired but i’ve got obligations 😩

This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

Ceasefire, then Palestinian liberation.
