Zohran fought tooth and nail to pass the Build Public Renewables Act, and has championed our call for NYPA to build 15 gigawatts of public renewables. A truly sustainable NYC is possible, but only if we keep organizing to win.

A Green New Deal for NYC Is Ready to Take Root Under a Mamdani administration
More rooftop solar, green schools, better mass transit, new investments in coastal resiliency, and so much more are now possible.
How could NYC become home for cutting-edge climate justice initiatives? Nancy Romer and I lay out the key climate policies Zohran Mamdani should adopt once he's elected mayor of the big apple. @haymarketbooks.org @publicpowerny.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

If Gov. Hochul and Driscoll think that these headlines will go away, they are mistaken. 5,300+ New Yorkers went through great inconvenience to demand NYPA build the 15 GW we need for a better future. The anger will grow.
Listen to the people. Build 15 GW. #DumpDriscoll.

In Overshoot Malm and Carton consciously narrow their scope to the fossil fuel industry. In this review, Andrew Ahern usefully extends their analysis to the agricultural sector. spectrejournal.com/overshoot-or... 1/2

Trump: Isolationist in Instinct, Unpredictable in Action - FPIF
Selective engagement will replace liberal internationalism.
Walden Bello is spot on.
Trump's approach to foreign policy is to make 'deals' to get thorny international issues off the table so he can focus on 'fortress America'.
And that presents some genuine opportunities for the global South. fpif.org/trump-isolat...

Ahead of Another Summer of Climate Disasters, Let's Talk about Real Solutions
Why the strategies that mainstream environmental movements are employing to halt climate change are failing—and what we could be doing instead.
“We saw this coming. We said this was happening. And we were excluded from the conversation, in many cases killed or imprisoned, because the desperate need to believe that government can save us is even greater than the addiction to fossil fuels.” @petergelderloos.bsky.social @crimethinc.com

A Brooklyn port complex could see thousands of new apartments — but some members of the task force weighing the future of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal are asking whether scaling back one of the borough’s last remaining industrial areas is wise.

Fire season here in LA does't usually drag into November, and here we are in January, with Santa Ana winds howling over 100mph. It's extremely dry. Shit ain't good.

Sacrificial Violence and Retribution
We explore the responses to the killings of Jordan Neely and Brian Thompson as a way to understand the different forms of violence that are contending in our society today.
Carrying out “the largest deportation operation in American history,” as Trump has explicitly pledged to do, will wreck the US economy.
Mass deportations are a costly luxury indulgence that Trump’s supporters regard as worth the expense because they experience the need for violence so intensely.
