Every technology has the potential for good, but the push for Generative AI led by corporations like Meta, Google, and Amazon is designed to consolidate corporate power and displace workers.

Here are the details of the data center regulations we passed today. 🧵

Nice touch here, whoever did this.

Legislators should vote NO on the budget, not gut NY’s climate law.

If this is adopted, NYers will pay even more for energy, jobs will be destroyed and pollution will increase.

They should vote NO, not validate an oily deal presented to them by Hochul and legislative leaders.

@KaitlynnLisa @GovKathyHochul refused to implement recommendations of the Climate Action Council that would have ensured affordability and tanked the climate bill while her PSC approved $$ billions in infrastructure expansions and improvements. That’s why our utility rates are out of control.

[Emily Skydel @disgruntled_em]

Today we caught @GovKathyHochul sneaking into the stacked @ABetterNY corporate lobbyist love fest right as she releases plans to gut the climate law. She's clearly picked a side! We need the senate and assembly to hold the line and stop this.

[Food & Water Watch New York @FWWNewYork]

Everywhere she goes. Every public event we can find, New Yorkers will be there demanding @GovKathyHochul abandon her foolish, dangerous attack on our climate law!

Tonight, at Cipriani

[Ken Schles @KenSchles]

@Vierd1 @ClimateDefiance And yet the House fails at that task. As populations grow and the number of reps stays fixed, as districts are gerrymandered to achieve political goals and as an imperial presidency diminished the influence of Congress, poof, representation is gone. Even a 4th grader sees that.

As Kathy Hochul seeks reelection this year, she's facing a challenge from her own lieutenant governor, Antonio Delgado.

New York Focus interviewed Delgado about his underdog campaign as he challenges his boss from the left.

It's outrageous! NY’s outdated law requires all gas utility customers to shoulder the cost of new fracked gas pipelines on our monthly bills! The annual cost of this in 2021 – the most recent year for which we have complete data – was nearly $600 million! https://t.co/rPMUgTFjen

@MichaelDell @jpmorgan I've seen this before. Oh yeah. In Orson Welles's 1962 depiction of office work from his adaptation of Franz Kafka's, "The Trial." Pure obliteration of the soul.

Climate and progressive organizations and elected officials call out Hochul’s dirty deal to approve NESE pipeline. https://t.co/HfC7bJ6jBl

Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado, New York Communities for Change, Citizen Action of NY, Third Act Upstate and Third Act NYC Slam Governor Hochul’s Approval of the NESE Pipeline:

[Alex Beauchamp @AlexAtFWW]

Unbelievable betrayal of New Yorkers as @GovKathyHochul caves to Trump's drill baby drill agenda in approving the NESE fracked gas pipeline.

I hope she's ready for a lot of rage because that is what's coming.

[New York Focus @nysfocus]

BREAKING: New York environmental regulators on Friday approved a major Trump-backed gas pipeline.

The NESE project would be the state’s largest expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure since passing its flagship climate law in 2019.

[Frack Action @FrackAction]

Today, @GovKathyHochul caved to Trump and approved the dangerous NESE pipeline, a shameful betrayal of millions of New Yorkers she promised to protect. The pipeline endangers our water and will cost us billions more on our energy bills. https://t.co/maWlUSfak7

@EricWeltman @GovKathyHochul @realDonaldTrump let's get a link for this pledge circulating right now.

[Food & Water Watch New York @FWWNewYork]

Yesterday, #StatenIsland community leaders sent a message to @GovKathyHochul: Protect our water and beaches, don't raise our energy bills, and fight climate change.

Stand up to Donald Trump and stop the Williams NESE pipeline!

Today, @GovKathyHochul was at the grand opening of the @jpmorgan Chase Tower -- and we were, too, urging her to stop the Williams NESE pipeline.

Hochul -- and everyone else at the ceremony -- heard us demand she have the courage to stand up to @DonaldTrump.
