Jews will never forget that this is how the world responded to Jewish babies being kidnapped by terrorists.

“Others shouted insults, including at children. One man called neighborhood residents ‘filthy Zionist assholes,’ and a woman shouted at young girls watching from a crosswalk, ‘you’re so gross. You’re disgusting.’ Children on their way home from yeshivas peered out bus windows.”
If you’re looking for an example of where Israel-related protest becomes antisemitism, what happened in Boro Park last night seems like a sadly perfect example.
This is disgusting.

It’s always special to run into Mr. Dreidel during Hanukkah. You might be familiar with the song: “I have a little dreidel, I made it out of clay, and when it’s dry and ready, then dreidel I shall play.” Happy Hanukkah.
YESSS!!!!
Honored to join so many organizations and advocates in celebrating New York’s monumental climate victory today! Quote f/@Earthjustice @AbbieDillen “@GovKathyHochul is standing up for NYers and setting a national example by signing the climate change superfund act into law.”

NEWS: President Biden has commuted death sentences for 37 of the 40 men on federal death row. They will now serve life sentences and cannot be executed. This is a milestone in the fight to shut down the death penalty — thank you! apnews.com/article/biden-dea…

Solar is helping families save on their electric bills while creating good jobs in the expanding clean energy sector—but many have been left out of the transition. We need an equitable solar future that can make clean, community-based energy affordable & accessible to all!

A major transmission line that would have brought renewable energy to NYC was canceled because for-profit developers canceled the renewable projects it needed to connect to.
The facts are clear: we cannot rely on corporations. We need 15 gw of public renewables by 2030, no less.

WIN! 🥳 After a rollercoaster legislative session these past few months, the MA State House voted to pass the Climate Bill today!
It now heads to @MassGovernor to sign.

Why does it seem like government agencies, foundations, etc. use "communities" as shorthand for poor people of color? Always feels a little gross and patronizing.

It’s dark as hell and also it’s worth remembering: NYS has enormous powers as a state government.
On climate/jobs, the state can and should do most of what’s needed.
We have to make Hochul step up to the crisis. No more hiding behind the feds.
No excuses now.
Every turnout org in Georgia seems to either think I live there or that I am my brother who lives there (neither of us live there) so I really feel for all the Philly suburb people getting 1 million texts / knocks per minute
Great story from @WBUR @mbebinger on how solar can help address the intersection of energy burden and health

"our climate crisis does not exist in a vacuum. It’s inextricably linked to corporate greed and our affordability crisis."
Today marks 12 years since Superstorm Sandy made landfall in NY.
It is a sobering reminder that our leaders must act urgently to address our overlapping climate & economic crises—our survival depends on it.
