I've gotten questions about this on several channels, so here we go:

1. SURJ chapters like SURJ Buffalo receive resources from SURJ National, but we are fully separate orgs

2. SURJ chapters have no role in National's endorsement process

3. SURJ Buffalo has not and will not endorse Graham Platner

β€˜This was forged’: Residents deny sending emails pushing Bay Area air policy change At least 10 people listed as sending letters in favor of an air quality policy change said they have no recollection of doing so and weren’t even aware of the proposal in the Bay Area.

Now the fossil guys are going after Bay Area air regulations too. This AI astroturf is going to be a huge problem if these guys don't get the hammer dropped on them pretty fast. Tailor-made for a @robbonta.bsky.social investigation.

ICE heavily relies on agencies of all kinds to fuel the deportation machine, but over the past decade they've increasingly relied on the police-to-deportation pipeline to do so. Read the growing list of reported cases of law enforcement collusion with #ICE in NY state: bit.ly/NY-ICEwatch

This is quickly developing into an emergency for several East Side neighborhoods- it'd be bad enough if this only impacted the services at the Seneca-Babcock CC, but there are at least a half dozen others under their umbrella. Multiple programs are ending immediately and childcare closes next week.

Three geese flying with carbon monoxide alarms on their backs. The geese are flying through an intense blizzard over the US. The geese are wearing wool hats with pom poms on top. They are not afraid. The text reads: Carbon monoxide safety geese brigade. Ever loud! Every lifesaving! Ever bird! Make sure your carbon monoxide alarms are working. Keep your portable generator outdoors and 20 feet away from your home!

I don't believe in physical violence, but seeing how giggly this babyfaced goon still is really tests my limits.
Young affluent white cishet men really need to learn that they will face consequences for their actions.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

AI Used to Promote Non-Existent Evacuation Flights From the Middle East - bellingcat A Dutch newspaper published a story about private evacuation flights from Dubai, but the photo shows signs of AI generation and the flights appear never to have existed.

De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper, recently published an interview with a woman promoting €1,600 seats on private evacuation flights from Dubai. Bellingcat found that her image was likely AI-generated, and flight data suggests no such plane took off. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

What’s Behind the Escalating Fight Over New York’s Climate Law? The legislature left the climate law untouched for now, but Governor Kathy Hochul could still push for changes in coming weeks.

NEW: New Yorkers’ energy bills are spiking, and moving ahead with the state’s climate law is only going to make things worse, Kathy Hochul says.

What is Hochul proposing? We don't know.

I think this is a misstep and at the very least needs further explanation, but the way lot of y'all are only now hearing of SURJ shows how few of y'all are engaged in actual abolitionist and anti-fascist work outside of shitposting.

Friends, love you, but this ain't it. A non-endorsement would have been better, and platforming/spotlighting literally any other leftist running would have been best. Never to late to retract.

Reaching net zero by 2050 β€˜cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

"Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock and bring health and economic benefits while insulating the country against future costs, the government’s climate advisers have forecast."

I love NYC and think it's one of the greatest US cities if not the greatest... but I also think it's rather silly to deny that it's stinky when y'all are still stacking bags of garbage at the curb.
