"...China is the world’s top emitter of carbon dioxide (CO2), and it is banking on an unprecedented build-out of clean energy infrastructure to reduce its carbon footprint, with the aim of peaking emissions by 2030." Meanwhile, the US under Trump is going the opposite direction. Sad what we do.

BREAKING: The U.S. and Saudi Arabia launched joint airstrikes on Iran-backed militia targets in Iraq after more than 30 IRGC-directed drone attacks over the past 72 hours, per CENTCOM. The statement from CENTCOM comes just hours after Iranian strikes targeted a U.S. base in Jordan.

One of Indivisible Cortland County’s five goals in our Election Action Plan: Re-elect Lea Webb to the State Senate, Anna Kelles to the State Assembly and Governor Kathy Hochul. We must return Anna Kelles to the State Assembly in November. Elections have consequences.

Called his ads political satire, not unlike late-night comics. Tell that to Colbert you ahole. This guy advocated for his own masked "brown shirts" to roam the streets of LI! But he was also the 1st in the country to ban masks in public. Is it any wonder he uses AI? abc7ny.com/post/nassau-...

One office in America holds the eraser for those 34 felony convictions: the Governor of New York. Trump knows it. Blakeman knows it. Here's the question every reporter in this state should be asking the man Trump anointed "from the very beginning": Candidate Blakeman, would you pardon Donald Trump?

Republican candidate for New York governor Bruce Blakeman wants to "replicate what we did in Nassau County" statewide. Nassau County property taxes averaged $14,872 in 2019 - 4x the national average. Even higher today. Be careful what you wish for, New York. westernnypolitics.com/westernnypol...

Not the early hour nor a deluge nor piss-poor air quality could keep 55 stalwart souls from coming to ICC’s Voter Registration Rally this morning. Thanks to all, especially our Singing Resistance Cortland and unexpected guests from the Supreme Court and the Raging Grannies from Ithaca! What a hoot!

Bruce "Fakeman" Blakeman is more than happy to screw upstaters with large data centers which would drive electric bills even higher as they suck up all the cheaper electricity. Fakeman loves rich people. Fakeman loves Trump. Hochul's moratorium buys us time to move ahead intelligently.
