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. 🧵

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.

Hochul and lawmakers have a "general agreement" on SEQRA, auto insurance, immigration policy and Climate Act changes, Assembly Ways and Means Chair Gary Pretlow says on the Assembly floor. Nothing in writing just yet, he says.

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.

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 NY’s outdated law requires all gas utility customers to shoulder the cost of new fracked gas pipelines on our monthly bills!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! nyforcleanpower.quorum.us/ca…

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. foodandwaterwatch.org/2025/1…

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. readme.readmedia.com/Advocat…

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. #NoTrumpPipelines

‼️MASSIVE: 10 NY Congressional Democrats pen letter to @govkathyhochul calling on her to REJECT the Trump-backed Williams-NESE Pipeline. Everyone—@RepJeffries, @RepRitchie to @RepAOC and @ZohranKMamdani (and @SIBPVito)—opposes this pipeline. Why is @GovKathyHochul pushing it?

This report explodes rationalizations @nationalgridus gave for NESE in its Long Term Plan. NESE's a boondoggle built to take advantage of Trump's quid pro quo to big oil for its campaign contributions. @GovKathyHochul reject this cynical corrupt project that goes against NYS law.

Downstate New Yorkers would be on the hook for construction costs—likely higher than projected—and developer profits if the NESE gas pipeline is built. Our examination of the project has led us to conclude that the pipeline is unnecessary. New report: hubs.li/Q03HnTlW0
