was grateful to participate in this nytimes roundtable with @emilybazelon on AI risks and regulation, teasing through how the government can best protect the public from the very real risks posed by AI acceleration right now: nytimes.com/2026/10/26/magaz…

Flock cameras were sold to us as a safety measure—instead they’ve been tools for stalking and harassment.
Vera President Insha Rahman joined @themaxburns and @LincolnSquareHQ to discuss how surveillance tech betrays public trust and makes us less safe: youtube.com/watch?v=vo6kZKVM…

You get off twitter for a weekend and really see how most people live. Beautiful. Untouched by evil. No awareness of the Talerico mental health conspiracy.

I am angry tonight.
Because today ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.
ICE makes this city less safe.
We want them out. Now.

Tough-on-crime policies have failed communities across the United States for too long.
Vera President Insha Rahman joined the @TheBlackCaucus' Annual Leadership Conference to break down why it's time for a new approach.

No Flock. No CORCA. No empowering ICE.
Cybersecurity engineer @bennjordan testified before the U.S. Senate about the harms of automatic license plate readers and CORCA, legislation that would expand ICE’s surveillance power under the guise of fighting organized retail theft.

Mullins is lying.
Really remarkable visualization in NYT this morning: The seven-day rolling average of immigrants arrested without being charged with or convicted of a crime has spiked since Sec. Mullin took charge
Mullin has said ICE enforcement is focused on "worst of the worst" nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

I wanted to pass along a new daily game my son just released.
It’s called Yea or Nay, and the premise is simple: You’re given five U.S. senators and three bills each day, and you have to guess how each senator actually voted.
It's very addictive!

Durbin must reject sneaky move to expand ICE authority

@vera @NILC
@SenatorDurbin
They are doing a similar thing with CORCA and the NDAA in the Senate! Don't let them! It's a bill that empowers ICE. @AOC

Nick Brennan retweeted
CORCA will go before the Senate soon for a vote, and we need to be aware that this bill carves out more surveillance authority for ICE. @verainstitute
Not only does this not belong in the NDAA @SenSchumer but no Democrat should be voting to empower ICE.

Nick Brennan retweeted
We’ve watched ICE terrorize our neighborhoods, pressure cities for personal data, and leave communities traumatized by deadly violence.
Now Congress wants to reward ICE with even more power? Tell your senator to vote NO on CORCA. ⬇️ act.dream.org/sign/senate-st…
