Ban ALPR Mass Surveillance Statewide

Pass legislation to ban automated license plate reader (ALPR) mass surveillance in our state. These systems don't just catch stolen cars — they build a searchable record of everywhere every driver goes, fed into databases that police, ICE, and private vendors can query at will. That's not a tool tha

I read about how Gov. Hochul is not using her powers to block ICE from setting up a gigantic detention center in Newburgh. I do not want my state government to be complicit in the creation of a vast concentration camp in my area. I have found the governor's inaction on immigration--including draggin

Any one of you who pretends Israel is not commiting a genocide against Palestinians is a coward. A coward who does not have the courage to use their own eyes to witness what is happening. Look at it.

How has the Supreme Court gone so far off the rails and please guide us! We are relying on the states and your Attorney Generals to put a stop to this insanity! The Framers in NO WAY approved what is going on in Washington DC. Continue building and pushing the coalitions you have developed. We mus

Data center subsidies

I just heard about the Rockland County data center subsidies –why are we subsidizing data center utility costs at all?? We should be charging them more if anything! Thank you for the executive order on no new data centers - please do another executive order to get rid of the subsidies immediately!

Lies & Deceit Have No Place In Government. Election Falsehoods Must Be Prosecuted. It is time to hold everyone accountable for their actions in Government. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin must be held accountable for the falsehoods and threats to our election officials. The New Yor

Please pass legislation banning so called "boom cars". You're so quick to regulate things like 3d printers, which have done nothing to impact most people in the state. However, idiots blasting music from their cars with their un-blockable low frequency bass turned up operate with impunity. My house

I write to you today to request you regulate e-bikes. They have swept the state and are an absolute menace to pedestrians and vehicles. Require a driver's license to operate them.

ICE out of Queens

As a registered Democrat who votes in every election, I am very disturbed that ICE is snatching people without due process of law in my neighborhood of Jackson Heights, Queens.

Learn From France's Ruling: Oppose Under-Age Social Media Bans

I'm writing as a concerned constituent about pending legislation on social media restrictions and age verification requirements.

If Congress and the Federal Government are not going to act on corruption and ethics violations, it is now up to cities and states. In addition to President Trump’s rampant ethics violations and financial crimes, Congress is now blatantly flaunting privilege over both the public and other civil se
