Some big professional news…

So glad Trump fixed #EggInflation, I’ve never spent less. 🙄 In other news, I really miss omelettes.

This was such an interesting podcast. Thanks so much to Albert Fox Cahn🦊 (@[email protected]) for chatting with us about AI, surveillance, and the future (death?) of democracy. Check it out, if you have a moment!

Who else is heading to #SxSW?

If you're sick of worrying about Elon, time to start focusing on #NYC's data-hungry, Orwellian billionaire. Happy I could call out Tisch in NY Mag. nymag.com/intelligencer/…

Quoted in the Guardian: “Westchester can be a sanctuary county or a surveillance state. It can’t be both.” It’s “painfully ironic that American highways went from the symbol of freedom…of the open road to this metaphor for creeping surveillance.” theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m… #ICE

So excited for my #SXSW premiere tomorrow (3/13)!!!

Had such a blast speaking at #SXSW!

My promise to New Yorkers: you will never see a billionaire who contributed 1 million to Trump's inauguration on my donor list.

while deleting your personal data is a measure of protection, in Albert Fox Cahn🦊 (@[email protected])'s words, "the genetic horse is out the barn." unfortunately, the only way you can 100% protect your genetic data is to not share it with companies like 23andme in the first place. snopes.com/news/2025/03/2…

As someone who fights surveillance, I wish I could be gleeful about so many intel leaders losing their jobs, but truly the only thing that terrifies me more than our surveillance arsenal in the hands of the NSA is putting it in the hands of Elon Musk. 😢 washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

It’s amazing that it took so many so long to realize: #Tariffs = taxes. Raising American tariffs is just another way to raise federal taxes, and we all pay the bill.

Why do people have to be so negative and refer to this as a “trade war”? Can’t we be more positive and think of it as a “loving poverty”? #Tariff nytimes.com/live/2025/04/0…

As a Jewish man, a civil rights lawyer, and a privacy expert, I can assure you that this policy as almost 0 to do with actual antisemitism. npr.org/2025/04/09/g-s…

Friends, I'm a wrangler for MozFest this year, and I wanted to put in a plug for our call for proposals, which is closing on May 21st at Noon CET / 6 AM ET. It's a very short proposal, and a great venue, so please reach out to me if you have any questions. pretalx.com/mozilla-festiv…

We went full black mirror. Tracking anyone, anywhere, at any time using their face is simply incompatible with democracy. Terrified to think how cops will weaponize this against protesters, religious groups, and anyone else law enforcement wants to target. washingtonpost.com/business/2025/…
