There isn’t any inside-outside strategy on Palestine that the Democratic Party is willing to entertain. Uncommitted exhausted every official channel and were still told no. Meanwhile, DNC attendees were happy to watch the police muffle protests this week: zeteo.com/p/blue-pill-...

It's been enormously frustrating to witness all of Hochul's unforced errors as governor. I'm not even sure what she'd try to run on for reelection.

Pretty brutal assessment of Kathy Hocul’s climate record by Bill McKibben, who calls her “a northern DeSantis on climate issues.” Other Democrats get a similar drubbing.

@daniellealberti.bsky.social unrelated, but heard about ex-Axios data vis folks in need of work—could you send me their info? I have a project coming up.

A fine argument but doesn’t touch on what may be even more important to most people: where you live determines whether your house will flood or burn.

"In America, where you live determines how much carbon dioxide you emit." Why Kamala Harris should make housing policy central to her climate platform, from @robinsonmeyer.bsky.social feat. @bfurnas.bsky.social and @pewilliams.bsky.social:

Kamala’s Climate Platform Should Be Cheaper Housing

Hear me out.

I need a study that shows how much worse the dog shit and piss smell is going to be in NYC if we don't meet our climate targets.

It's worth paying attention to what Liz Kruger, the chair of the NYS Senate Finance Committee, has been saying. She's offered perhaps the most thorough evisceration of Hochul's decision of any elected official. Full text, 'cause it doesn't all fit in the alt: www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/pre...

The importance of this precedent can't be overstated. For that reason, big oil is about to drop a massive lawsuit on Vermont. Still, I don't know see how we're going to adequately fund climate adaptation without more laws like these on the books. Time for NY and CA to step up

HUGE BREAKING news from Dana Drugmand @danad1012.bsky.social Vermont's Climate Superfund Law enacted!🎉 Vermont becomes 1st state to hold Big Oil financially responsible for a fair share of climate damages!

Florida and Louisiana - two of the states with ongoing catastrophic climate disruptions - put their fingers in their ears, and dismantle effective countermeasures. DeSantis and Landry will still be raving about "woke" while their states slowly sink into the sea. Gift link wapo.st/3x1ygEC

Louisiana’s coast is sinking. Advocates say the governor is undermining efforts to save it.

A new Republican governor is taking aim at the state’s coastal protection agency.
