I represent LaGuardia Airport as well as workers for JFK. Trump gutted the Aviation Safety committee last week. Air traffic controllers - already understaffed - got Trump’s “buyout” this week with a 1 week ultimatum to decide. It’s not DEI - it’s him. And Elon too.

This is a five alarm fire. The people elected Donald Trump to be President - not Elon Musk. Having an unelected billionaire, with his own foreign debts and motives, raiding US classified information is a grave threat to national security. This should not be a partisan issue.

If you want to start with waste, start with Elon’s defense contracts at the Pentagon. In fact, we should start with transparency around defense contracts in general, which take up an enormous sum of public funds. But they won’t do that, will they?

Remember this win. And keep fighting. "When we fight, we win."

Sen. BOOKER before Kash Patel committee vote: I’ve seen the pendulum swing back and forth on this committee for eleven years. I’ve never seen something like this for a candidate. “In the most objective way possible, I do not understand how we’re moving forward at this point.”

Protestors knocked over cordon and moved toward dias where commissioners sit DPS official Tom Congdon stood up to physically block their approach and was joined by troopers, other staff and PSC Chair Rory Christian who said he'd have a conversation but not during the meeting

Happening now! Protectors of health, communities & climate interrupt PSC meeting in Albany. Sandra Steingraber tells Governor Kathy Hochul "Compressor stations spew toxic pollutants into the air 24 hours a day." Revoke "Iroquois" expansion permits!

Except for rare urgent action posts here on X, I have moved to Bluesky. Find me there! imbloom.bsky.social Others from TIAA-Divest! may also post here. Do what they say! :) We are more powerful together. #TIAADivest #StopLandGrabs #StopMusk #FightFascism

"Since the enactment of our landmark climate act, the Hochul Admin has gone from incrementalism to inaction now to undoing mandates by expanding fossil fuel infrastructure when we must be expanding renewable energy generation." Michael Richardson, @thirdactupstateny.bsky.social

WOW! So this is what really happened at PSC meeting just now. Remote viewers saw a blank screen, heard only Muzak, while brave protesters trying to protect communities from toxic dangerous compressor stations spoke out!

Strong words! Must-watch video: "Shame on Governor Kathy Hochul for approving the 'Iroquois' fracked gas pipeline expansion, air polluting and destroying communities in Athens & Dover that are already facing environmental devastation... We are outraged!" Food & Water Watch New York ProtectingOurWaters

.@laurenirwin, a good reporter for @TheHill, mistakenly attributes altruistic motives in FAA story today: "firings come as DOGE [and Trump] slash federal jobs to save the country money." Should be: "to acquire vast power & control, prevent investigations and undermine Congress."

New: Forbes shows how TIAA pours fuel on the fossil fire -- "Yet, no one with climate science expertise sits on TIAA's Board of Directors." TIAA is Goliath and #TIAADivest is David here. Exciting read Forbes! Rebecca Solnit forbes.com/sites/marianne…

"TIAA is the world’s 4th largest holder of coal bonds, even as the three coal plants it owns are shuttered. The World Economic Forum estimates that the world would realize a net gain of $85 trillion from phasing out coal power" TIAA, let go! Third Act forbes.com/sites/marianne…

Climate matters, so divestment cannot be repetitively delayed. "Fiduciary duties are real but fiduciary duties are not a suicide pact.” Brilliant quote, brilliant article and amazing to have this spotlight on our TIAA-DIVEST campaign! #TIAADivest forbes.com/sites/marianne…

This gloating & boasting about taking a dagger to climate justice: violence in policy form. Lethal. Backwards. Depraved. And must be stopped. We don't have time for this. We can't even wait 2 years for a Dem majority in Congress. This has to stop! theguardian.com/environment/20…
