Shoutout to all the haters that tried to stop the city from building a brand new insanely beautiful park for the Lower East Side. Come hang!

Re-upping for unfortunate relevance.
People are going to try to go toe-to-toe on gerrymandering, a fight they don’t believe in and are bound to lose.
The answer is district-less Congressional representation and abolishing the electoral college. You can’t let vestiges of inequity survive and hope to outsmart it later. Just end it.

Chatbots shouldn’t claim to be a doctor, lawyer or any other licensed professional. My bill, S7263, stops chatbots from impersonating licensed professions while allowing those bots to still give advice. Here’s a thread on what the bill does/doesn’t do & why it’s important:🧵(1/6)
A New York bill would ban AI from answering questions related to several licensed professions like medicine, law, dentistry, nursing, psychology, social work, engineering, and more.
The companies would be liable if the chatbots give “substantive responses” in these areas.

Earlier this year we celebrated first in the nation labor protections for public sector workers concerned w/ displacement by AI. Now, that includes educators, & guardrails on the use of AI in employment decision making in state agencies & local gov’ts.

Today the @council.nyc.gov passed COPA to add another preservation tool to our toolbox!
By giving qualified purchasers a first chance to bid on distressed properties in city enforcement programs, COPA will help level the playing field & stop the cycle of speculation & rising rents.

The world's wealthy liberal democracies looked the other way on FIFA's corruption for years because they didn't think corruption in sports was a big deal or worth addressing, and now find themselves looking at FIFA as a powerful, increasingly-integrated part of the far-right anti-democracy movement.

Trump’s EO to stop states from regulating AI is a direct threat to our safety and to workers, and could put the necessary guardrails we have already started building at risk. NY is stepping up to protect everyday people by passing common sense legislation & it should be signed.

It took a huge amount of vision to see the potential of what this park could deliver in the aftermath of Sandy, and to see it realized is so rewarding. Huge credit to the local leaders, NYCHA TAs, and community organizers who made this a reality when no one believed it could be done.

We'll have to see whether the new resiliency infrastructure will withstand another superstorm, but we're happy to report that the park itself is, so far, a smashing success.

Elections are the practice of democracy. In the face of fascism, strong and healthy elections are the best tool we have to enact the will of the people. If you can’t respect election results, you are fundamentally incapable of protecting freedom and fighting for our democracy.

This is disturbing from Ezra Klein. Not just because Kirk’s hateful and violent rhetoric is bad on it’s own, but it calls into question what Klein thinks politics is for. Is it for fighting on the internet, or making laws that govern a free and safe society? Kirk did the former, not the latter.
