Happy Deepavali! During a wonderful celebration with @CultureTreeNY and @chandrikatandon at the @AsiaSociety earlier this season, I reflected on what this holiday means to me.
Light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance will always prevail.
Reporting via @tylerkingkade exposes that our students are watching thousands of videos a day on Youtube, but only a fraction of them are educational.
The data illustrates the scale of the problem that we face with YouTube and Big Tech in the classroom.

Democrats won big across the country, and New York City has elected some big champions.
Huge congratulations to our Governor @KathyHochul, AG @TishJames, and Lt. Governor-elect @AdrienneEAdams!

Excited to see wins from my Jackson Heights close friends and fellow Queens champions @votejgr, @CatalinaCruzNY, @Brianr4NY, and @Martinez4Queens!
Today is an important day to make our voices heard, vote for Democrats up & down the ballot, and reject Trump by taking back the House & Senate. We can play a part in sending a big message today. Polls close at 9 PM; you can find your polling location at: vote.org!
I'm proud to support @TeamHochul! Governor @KathyHochul is a true champion for Jackson Heights and Elmhurst, Queens.
We couldnât be happier to have Councilmember Shekar Krishnan stand with Team Hochul Adams! He knows Governor @KathyHochul is a champion for small businesses, our communities, and our health care.
When @NYCCouncil held a hearing with AI giants my question for them was what happens if they fail. None of the companies could answer my question because their focus is their profit, not your retirement.

For decades, @KAFSCNY has raised awareness, broken stigmas, and supported survivors affected by domestic violence. In the AAPI community, these cases too often go unreported out of fear. I joined KAFSC for their 29th Annual Silent March to raise visibility on these issues.
Yesterday, we honored Patrick "Paddy" Gilmartin by renaming Queens Blvd and Broadway âPaddy Gâ Way.
After returning home from the Army as a decorated & wounded Vietnam veteran, Paddy found his calling in the bar industry and established himself at Paddy Gâs. đ§”

I had the pleasure of meeting Paddy and his family in December 2022. Sadly, after a long battle with cancer, Paddy passed away in October 2023, surrounded by his loved ones. He was honored with an Army honor guard funeral.

What an honor to see Indian culture on display at City Hall especially during Navaratri & Diwali season. Thanks @voteshekar & @NYHistory!
Thereâs a sari exhibit at City Hall featuring those worn by Mira Nair, a filmmaker and @nycmayorâs mom, and one worn by @CMShahanaHanif when she was sworn into the council
I was honored to join @NYCMayor at Om Shakti Temple in Jackson Heights to celebrate Durga Puja.
Over the last week, weâve spent this time in community, honoring the triumph of good over evil, motherhood and feminine power in this universe, and righteousness over ignorance.
Subway ridership is up, and subway crime is the lowest in 16 years. Thatâs @KathyHochul's record of delivering for us.
Bruce Blakemanâs record is stoking fear and division. He's using the same old MAGA playbook that is failing across the country.

Yesterday, I joined @NYCMayor and @GovKathyHochul to announce weâre adding 10,000 free 2K seatsâ including in Elmhurst & Jackson Heights!

I joined @NYCMayor and @GovKathyHochul to announce 12,000 2K seatsâ including in Jackson Heights & Elmhurst!
As a dad, I know how complicated childcare is for families. I'm thrilled that we are getting more free seats and taking this off parents' plates.

Thank you to the Governor and to @votejgr + @voteshekar for leading the charge on this funding investment in Jackson Heights! đđŒ
Bruce Blakeman is complicit in Donald Trump's mass deportation campaign thatâs tearing families apart and spreading fear in our city.
We must reject ICE and their enablers at the ballot box and support fighters like @KathyHochul, who will fight for us.
