Big questions for balcony solar in the Big Apple

Are fire escapes balconies? Can we put up panels without permission? How much power would balcony solar generate?

While @governor.ny.gov ties us to toxic gas plants and destructive pipelines, the rest of world builds clean, affordable energy at record rates. Hochul and Trump aren’t just walking us backwards, they’re sprinting.

Are we going to keep falling behind, or #BuildPublicRenewables?

Good morning with good news: Solar generated 39% of California's electricity from January-July 2025, up from 33% in 2024.

Fossil fuels plunged to just 26% of CA's power in Jan-July 2025, down 40% in July 2025, compared to July 2024!

An Israeli prison guard deliberately slammed a metal door on the already broken leg of a 70-year-old Scottish woman who was abducted from the flotilla.

Torture.

THIS IS SAD ❗❗

"That prison was awful. No food, no water. My broken leg, the girl said to me, "Ah, what happened to your leg?" I said, "it's broke." She slammed the metal door on it and went, "Oh, sorry"

Margaret Pacetta, 70, from Glasgow, Scotland, is one of four Scots who participated in the Global Sumud Flotilla. Pacetta arrived in Istanbul Airport on Saturday afternoon along with 136 other activists.

A new bill from @emilyassembly.bsky.social and @lizkrueger.bsky.social would legalize balcony solar in NYC!

Here's what that means, how we got here, and what might happen next.

unfortunately it’s their rizzlessness that led most of these people to politics in the first place.

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted.

My story:

Trump mandates all federal agencies send email blaming Dems for potential gov’t shutdown

Workers call the partisan email "a vile slap in the face."

Trump's got that "I've been drinking Mai Tais in the hot tub under a blazing sun for six hours" kind of vibe today. Don't stand up too fast, sir!

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

imagine your conduct being beneath the men and women of ICE

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 12d

In a genuine WOW moment, this administration publicly acknowledges (perhaps for the first time) that an ICE officer violated procedure and will be taken off duty and subject to an investigation. This is a step in the right direction — I just wish it wasn't only because of such an awful viral video.

Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:
"The officer's conduct in this video is unacceptable and beneath the men and women of ICE. Our ICE law enforcement are held to the highest professional standards and this officer is being relieved of current duties as we conduct a full investigation."
