Support Digital Literacy, Not Social Media Bans for Kids

Today, I'm writing about how New York approaches kids and technology. As you've probably seen, California just passed a package of online child safety bills, and they got it half right.

Say NO to self-driving cars. Invest in public transit instead.

I recently read about Waymo's "statewide road show" at the Great New York State Fair, where the company presented self-driving cars as our inevitable future. I'm writing to push back on that framing. A future dominated by robotaxis is not inevitable—it's a business plan. And it's one that New York s

Dear governor, Mamdani’s plan to increase taxes on millionaires is one of the most progressive proposal I have seen in years if not decades. We have to rip the bandaid and get it done.
