NYC can track how you walk, type, and browse — and legally, that info isn’t considered sensitive. That’s a problem.

I’m fighting to protect your biometric and behavioral data. Surveillance tech is evolving. Our laws need to catch up.

🚨 Silver Alert 🚨
Zhong Yang, 93, is missing from Powers St & Bushwick Ave. He has dementia and may need medical attention.

5'10", 180 lbs, gray hair, brown eyes
Wearing blue t-shirt & black dress pants
Last seen 3 PM on 08/03/2025

If you see him, call 911 or 1-800-577-TIPS.

This isn’t just a policy violation—it’s a warning about unchecked government surveillance and the urgent need to close loopholes in NYC’s surveillance laws.

What happened here is a warning shot.

Read my letter to the Rent Guidelines Board regarding the proposed rent increases:

On days like today, AC is vital.

What started as a call for transparency on AC in shelters is now inspiring a citywide mandate: every new shelter must have air conditioning.

Because this isn’t about comfort—it’s about health, dignity, and survival.

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

AI is already impacting your city: cutting public services, surveilling residents, and reallocating power to Big Tech. It doesn’t have to be this way. We’re launching a roadmap for local action with @localprogress.bsky.social. RSVP to our webinar on May 27th at 1pm ET: shorturl.at/BZT9n

We're proud and honored to endorse Council Member Gutierrez's (@cmjengutierrez.bsky.social sky.social) fight to reinstate the NYC Internet Master Plan. We demand internet access for all -- that means free and/or affordable broadband connections for all New Yorkers. Communication is a human right!

In April, I held a hearing where I asked the administration the same question I've been asking fro two year: What is their plan to bring affordable Internet to all New Yorkers?

What we heard was frustrating, but not surprising:

There is no plan.
