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.

NEW: Last night on @LastWeekTonight @iamjohnoliver discussed “Excited Delirium” - a debunked diagnosis by several professional associations - and why it should be banned from use. Watch here ⤵️

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?" – at Manhattan, NY
The level of cruelty is just incomprehensible. nytimes.com/interactive/2025…
