This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Local Law 97 of 2019 is rocking. As of 2023 data, 92% of buildings were already below the law’s initial annual pollution limits, which started in 2024. We will see data on 2024 soon, and it’ll be close to 💯

Huge improvement!

Cuomo and his people, whose policy positions are done by ChatGPT 😬, probably aren’t even aware of anything like this.

He’s incompetent and in the pocket of the real estate lobby, who he has told he is “open to” rolling back NYC Local Law 97 because they hate it.

This is great! 👏

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social wants to use bulk purchasing to drive down the up-front costs for building owners to upgrade to high energy efficiency. Experts ❤️ this:

✅ saves money
✅ creates jobs
✅ cuts pollution

Truth is precious and important. It’s not image-making and misleading people to grease a path.

@bradlander.bsky.social must deliver on his promise of major action on climate.

@nyccomptroller.bsky.social wields power. Use it.

Cc: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
Protesters raise signs directed at Lander during his image-building but empty climate week event. This event and week would have been the obvious moment for him to deliver on his promise, but he has refused to do so. That blew a private promise of a deadline of summer or at the latest September. There’s still October, November and December for him to deliver. He should! For our part, we’re not going to quietly pretend all is fine and dandy when it’s not. We’re in a low trust society now and politicians like Lander breaking their promises is part of it. WE keep OUR word.

A day after the corner of their building blew off in a gas explosion, Mitchel house residents & NYCC protested @governor.ny.gov Hochul’s neglect of public housing.

@sarahana.bsky.social &Sen. Gustavo Rivera’s #LivableNY act would fix it: overhaul
and fix NYCHA & eliminate dangerous gas. #TaxTheRich

Happening now: @DelgadoforNY at a working class people’s assembly in our office.

Talking with & hearing from our members.

This is what a then-little known assemblyman @ZohranKMamdani did, by the way. 😉

A tragedy. 😢

But it’s a MAN-MADE disaster of disinvestment & neglect.

@governor.ny.gov Hochul refuses to tax the rich and to put in the money needed to fix up NYCHA and take it off fossil fuels.

NY Sen. Gustavo Rivera @sarahana.bsky.social #LivableNY act would FIX THIS.

Hochul: do your job!

The PSC wielded its big ole rubber stamp today to give cover to Hochul, who wants to fast track the Williams NESE pipeline for Trump.🤢The PSC & commissioners are owned by the gas industry, and if Hochul approves it, rates go up a lot and pollution skyrockets. #NoTrumpPipelines

We also dig the unglued quote from the spokesperson for Cuomo 😜
“The It’s no surprise, as this petty group of paid protesters has been lying about the Governor’s record for years,” Azzopardi said in a statement. “The governor’s relationship with these communities reaches back decades and they’re not going to be swayed by this disingenuous bull – nor are they going to support an inexperienced defund the police, pro-prostitution socialist who now spends his days running away from the press and failing to even show up for the legislative job he is currently elected to.” 😂😂😂
