Educator, climate organizer w/ @climatefamsnyc
Proud to join @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social, @emilyassembly.bsky.social , @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social, @shaunabreu.bsky.social, @sandynurse.bsky.social and many others calling on @governor.ny.gov to sign the SUNNY Act. See the CM's letter here: drive.google.com/file/d/1lN7l...
To the people claiming a pause on AI in schools will "leave kids behind," if we don't stop the rapid growth of AI, kids will inherit a world on fire with no food, water or breathable air. THAT is leaving kids behind. @nycschools.bsky.social should not be fueling fossil fuel expansion. Period.
"I write to urge you to impose a AI-moratorium in NYC's schools. At stake are not only the cognitive + emotional health of NYC's children but also— • Labor + economic conditions for educators • Climate + struggles for energy justice • Widening of the political + economic power-gap b/t rich + poor."
Greg Pak@gregpak.net · 4d agoHey, friends! I put my big face in a video like the kids do! Time to join the @aimoratoriumnyc.bsky.social and tell @mayor.nyc.gov to enact a moratorium on "A.i." in the schools! Please share - and please tell the mayor you want a moratorium! www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...
it's always a good sign when the nazi/CSAM guy is behind you

“I don’t think that ignoring the climate crisis is smart politics,” she said. “I think that it is dropping the ball on the biggest threat the US and the world faces.” Excellent story from @dharna.bsky.social: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Democrats’ ‘climate hushing’ prompts activists to turn up the volume
Nationwide actions seek to counter view that talking about climate crisis distracts from affordability messaging

This. This is the correct, science-backed, responsible framing. Wish more news outlets did it like the CBC.
'Just stop burning fossil fuels.' Scientists stress that our smoky skies only have one true fix | CBC News
Smoky skies in Toronto have led to new scrutiny of government efforts to fight fires and manage forests. But scientists say the realistic way to tackle the smoke is fighting climate change itself.

No I don't want to upgrade to premium. I don't want to ask AI. I don't want to magic edit. I don't want AI to do that for me. I don't want to turn my random thoughts into videos. Leave me alone.
Join Climate Families and let’s channel the outrage and fear for our children into action.❤️
Walker Bragman@walkerbragman.bsky.social · 3w ago37-year-old lifelong New Yorker here. You know, growing up, I don’t remember being trapped inside by toxic wildfire smoke. Certainly not with this regularity. I have a toddler. I am beyond outraged over the state of the planet he will inherit—a crisis fueled by greedy businessmen and their allies
Furious, worried or sad about the hot and toxic world our children are growing up in? You're not alone. Join us for a community call tomorrow night. Facing the Climate Crisis with Parent Power. RSVP here: climatefamiliesnyc.org/events
Is now- with poison air, a flood and tornado warning in the city- a good time to point out that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social still won’t talk about climate change?
Liat@liatro.bsky.social · 3w agoNew from me in the @nydailynews.com: www.nydailynews.com/2026/07/13/w... The climate hushers are wrong. We should all talk about climate change and the industries causing it. And more importantly, people in power must talk about climate, or they are aiding the billionaires destroying our only home.
Amazing graphic from @zekehausfather.com showing how human-caused warming is driving increasingly widespread wildfires like the one currently impacted air quality in the eastern U.S. That's a shot of the famous Art Museum from my window this morning. Normally the view is crisp.
Zeke Hausfather@zekehausfather.com · 3w agoThe forest management argument, largely valid in a California pine stand, mostly falls apart when you move it a couple of thousand kilometers north. Today's Climate Brink post provides in-depth details as to why: www.theclimatebrink.com/p/canadas-bo...
If heat and wildfire smoke has you freaked out about parenting through climate collapse, this is a great time to join @climatefamsnyc.bsky.social
Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer until you're the one calmly stating "we're encased in flame"

Why Democrats must talk about climate
It’s hot. Millions are sweltering amidst record breaking heat waves only possible because of climate change. Thousands died in Europe’s heatwave. But, here, Democrats from leftists to moderates have e...
