Lee Zeldin snuck up on a (typically) comatose Hochul in a 💯 favorable political environment and he *still lost* by 6 points. Now, Trump is psycho unpopular and in the White House and it’s a deep blue state.
The real race is the primary. Delgado!

@cityandstateny.bsky.social’s loser of the week is Hochul’s NY DEC commissioner Amanda Lefton.
Richly deserved, since she’s governing like a gas lobbyist.
Tho ofc from her perspective, she’s not a loser: she’ll be able to claim extra-lucrative, easy pay-off jobs after this “gig”. Resign!

Live shot of the Hochul hacks at the NYS energy plan meeting:
NY DEC commissioner Lefton
NYSERDA president Harris
NYS PSC chair Christian
The big challenge of their job?
Appearing properly concerned for consumers & the environment as they govern like gas lobbyists. Resign!

Adding a bike lane in place of a car lane on Court Street in Brooklyn has been GREAT. One reason is that on that side of the street, we’re no longer penned in by a wall of car. Instead. It’s a much nicer sidewalk space where the occasional bike goes by. It’s super nice!

It turns out Trump really is committed to fighting climate change. A hyper committed radical degrowther! 😂😂😂

👀 Maybe we’re starting to win (again) on stopping the Williams fracked gas pipeline.
Ads up. Trump tweeting. The gas interests must be nervous Hochul may oppose it. 😃
Meanwhile, we’re on our way to getting 5k voters on a pledge not to vote for Hochul in the primary if she sides with Trump. 💪 👀

@governor.ny.gov Hochul should tell Trump to go hell: #NoTrumpPipelines.
Yet instead, she’s been fast tracking the massive Williams NESE fracked gas project through a NY permitting process the state previously rejected. 😡
She should stop it, not raise our bills & pollute!

There is a wide open and fast lane for political candidates and politicians who are anti-AI and anti-tech companies/social media.
I would vote hard for a candidate like that, even as I use social media a lot.

Today, NYC floods from another climate change-fueled storm.
And city govt’s 2nd largest money manager goes backward on climate.
@bradlander.bsky.social could have done something about the later, and moved global finance, possibly prevented this move… but for 4 years he’s been all talk.

The independent expenditure committee I run, Livable Future, affiliated with @nychange, is canvassing on cutting energy costs & pollution in Wakefield in the Bx to elect Mamdani.
Mostly 1-2 family homeowners. Primarily African-American & Caribbean-American voters.
Results👀👍😃

Their stuff is a series of crazy lies and giant misstatements. Start to finish in their flyer, which you can see below.
That’s just one slice of what we’re up against in terms of real estate and right wing attacks. We’re being outspent like 100:1 or a 1000:1!

😃Because of the new Court Street bike lane in Brooklyn, I rode a bike on NYC streets for the 1st time in 25+ years.
Court Street bike lane ==> I can ride to my place in a protected lane, where previously Court Street was a dangerous mess*. The cars aren’t speeding anymore, either! 😃

The new street design for Court Street in Brooklyn, where I live, continues to be finished. Today, painting new lane. It’s GREAT!
✅ no more speeders
✅ car & bike traffic moves smoothly
✅ bikes in lane, not intermixed into cars & vice versa
✅ no double parkers
✅ looks nicer

For those wondering what replaces an oil & gas boiler, it’s these bad boys: a heat pump.
Like the coils in the back of your refrigerator, they move heat instead of burning a fossil fuel to create it. 3-4 times more energy efficient than oil/gas.
