I am absolutely outraged that ICE agents shot a New Yorker in Marble Hill, and even more outraged to hear a child may have been involved, though unharmed. This is reckless, lawless, and dangerous for our families and communities. Abolish ICE now!

Pleased to stand with @sengonzalezny.bsky.social this morning to support her bill to ban the sale of e-motos. These devices are responsible for the majority of deaths connected to micromobility, and this bill will be an important step in preventing their sale in physical stores and online.
We were proud to stand with @sengonzalezny.bsky.social and @dianaforqueens.com this morning to introduce their new bill aimed at prohibiting the sale of illegal, dangerous high-speed e-moto devices, a big step toward safer streets across New York State!

AI companies shouldn't be allowed to use manipulative and addictive chatbot features on young people. We shouldn’t have to choose between innovation & accountability, or between adopting technology & keeping kids safe.
Yesterday, my bill, S9051B to prohibit AI companions from using manipulative features that encourage emotional dependency & other unsafe practices that put minors at risk PASSED. As this technology becomes more integrated into our lives, NY is putting safety & accountability first.
