@kenlburns.bsky.social's The American Revolution on @pbs.org is terrific

But all the maps of NY state show The Great Sacandaga Lake (originally named Sacandaga Reservoir) which was created when the Sacandaga River was dammed in 1930

This is unacceptable. By folding to Trump, @governor.ny.gov has helped to fast-track his agenda.

pipeline safety under the Trump administration is, well, just what you'd expect

As category 5 Melissa pounds Jamaica, now is the perfect time to remind Kathy Hochul @governor.ny.gov what a mistake it would be to cave to pressure from Climate Denier-in-Chief Trump by approving any fracked gas pipelines in NY

My mom and I loved your great documentary about Andrew Young.
It inspired her to attend the huge Johnstown NY #NoKings rally in Elise Stefanik's district.
She and Andrew were both Hoover babies.
That should have been their low point regarding presidents.
But no, not at all.

@farmaid.org needs to address this.

You aren't helping farmers or anyone if one of your founders spreads climate change denialism.

This runs counter to everything science has taught us.

Since you took the time to berate me—along with Brenda—about mixing politics with the Farm Aid concert, I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out the many participants who joined in. For example, I never knew John Mellencamp was a climate change denier.

@sundayofaction.bsky.social: a good day to remember Robert Redford who 10 years ago was on @democracynow.org promoting alternative energy and decrying Keystone XL.

A shining example of how to use one's celebrity for the public good.

Yes, if Trump gets his way, the Constitution will become known as a pipeline in NY, named after what was once the world's longest surviving written charter of government.
