Tonight is the first filing deadline! I'll be publicly reporting my fundraising numbers based on what I have by the end of the day, and that number goes a long way towards proving my viability in this race.

I'm running for Assembly!
I've written and worked on more bills than I can count—housing, immigration, AI, privacy, civil rights—and I can tell you exactly what happens to most of them. Nothing.

MSG has spent thousands against me for saying this, but I won’t back down. Commercial facial recognition is creepy and dangerous. It needs to be banned.

As good a time as any to go back to this brilliant snippet from Justice Sotomayor's dissent in the Students for Fair Admissions case.

🚨 My op-ed is out in @CityAndStateNY: “Excited delirium” is racist pseudoscience that’s been used to justify countless deaths at the hands of law enforcement. NY must ban it.
The bill passed the Senate & is awaiting a debate in the Assembly. ¡Pa’lante!

Huge shout-out to @CMJulieWon and @AmandaFariasNYC for getting these bills passed. A real game changer for police transparency in NYC.

The bills force the NYPD to disclose many of its surveillance systems, what data it collects, and who has access. stopspying.org/latest-news/2…

Cuomo is not inevitable. If you have the means, please consider donating to stop him. It's wild how many people forget what a bad Governor he was. secure.actblue.com/donate/ny…

Thank you @LastWeekTonight and @iamjohnoliver for shining a light on the racist pseudoscience term "Excited Delirium". @votejgr and I have a bill S1714/A697 to ban it as a cause of death. Other states have passed similar bills, NY should too.

For all the people who called for his resignation and thanked all of the women for their bravery, who now support Cuomo for mayor, I ask, "What changed?"

I'm a huge fan of congestion pricing, but it is far from perfect. One reason: it needs privacy protections.
