If we get only a few good things out of this pandemic, can one of them be the end of insane disregard for science and expertise?

Every time we move towards a COVID restriction we resurface existing inequities. One of them is internet. We need universal high-speed internet access in New York City.
Great news! Our bill, the Robocall Prevention Act, is picking up steam in Albany. This bill is more important than ever because: ➡️ Nearly 1 in 4 surveyed have experienced an increase in robocalls since COVID-19 ➡️ 1 in 5 people have received a robocall regarding #COVID https://t.co/5R4QdIPWNr
The testing capacity that New York has built is a major accomplishment. We need every tool we can get to flatten the curve again. https://t.co/qso3FonzVP
NEW: The @NYSenate Internet & Tech committee passed the legislation I carry with @stefanizinerman to shut down local DNA databases. This would require full expungement of the rogue DNA database utilized by the NYPD. https://t.co/ddbzLTbkpA
Media consolidation is killing our community newspapers and undermining local democracy. My new legislation with <U+2066>@AMCarrieWoerner<U+2069> would provide support to local news outlets <U+0001F4F0> <U+2B07><U+FE0F> https://t.co/tRGprHPXD5
Too little too late. I’ve seen firsthand how Facebook’s failure to moderate their platform has dangerous real-world consequences. Now, 11 months into a public health emergency, Facebook insists on doing the bare minimum to combat deadly misinformation. https://t.co/Gds72wUJeP
The staff in the State Senate and the Assembly responsible for civic technology often go unheralded but the work they do is essential. We're fortunate to have had a great team in the State Senate on this front. Congratulations to the team at the Assembly. https://t.co/Z5gE72ogOM
Like Jerry says, why should telemarketers have our information if we can’t have theirs? Today the Senate passed my “Seinfeld bill” with @NYAMCunningham to require telemarketers to provide essential info within the first 30 seconds of a call and to disclose their address online. https://t.co/iqdmRNYoI0
This bill is about algorithms. Algorithms aren<U+2019>t naturally occurring; they are written to do exactly what platforms want them to do. So when big tech pushes eating disorders on our children, shares anti-vaxx lies, or helps terrorists plan a riot, they must be held accountable.
