Congratulations to @1199SEIU and the nearly 70,000 CDPAP care workers who filed for the largest union election in American history. These workers make it possible for New Yorkers to live safely and independently at home. I’m proud to stand with them in the fight for a union.
CDPAP caregivers across New York are voting to join the 1199 family, gaining the support, advocacy, and collective power that make the union difference. Read more about the historic moment by @nytimes here: digital.1199seiu.org/nytcdpa…

What Palmer said!!
Moises is a brilliant culture journalist whose finger is always on the pulse. I had the pleasure of working with him a few years ago at BI — in addition to being an amazing reporter, he's also a wonderful teammate. Any newsroom would be lucky to have him!!!!!!

Will is an absolute gem— someone hire them ASAP!
Now that some of the dust has settled, I guess I should mention that I was laid off from Business Insider last month. If you’re looking for a reporter with expertise in consumer tech, gaming, social media, and AI, reach out! I’m a workaholic, and I’m ready to get going again. ✌️
