Call me old fashioned, but I'd prefer if powerful people weren't sitting on a throne of skulls.

[David Siffert @DavidASiffert]

So grateful to @nyunews for this great profile of my campaign! NYU students are such an important part of our community, and it's so inspiring to see their work -- from journalism to activism and beyond.

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.

[David Siffert @DavidASiffert]

If you're able to donate, it would mean the world to me, but if not, there are so so many ways to help. Just reach out! https://t.co/E1h4FhenBw

I'm running for Assembly!

[David Siffert for Assembly @SiffertForNY]

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.

[David Siffert @DavidASiffert]

I couldn't be more excited. If you want to learn more about my campaign, you can check out my website. https://t.co/3CsegHy0CS

Girl, bye.

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.

Disingenuous treatment of precedent aside, this is brutal:

Happy primary day to everyone who doesn't rank Cuomo ♥️

🚨 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!

Anyone wanna be my boss?

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. https://t.co/7HibnMzJSH

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. https://t.co/vJAHE9UORe

[NYS Senator Samra Brouk @SenatorBrouk]

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.

[Jessica González-Rojas (votejgr.bsky.social) @votejgr]

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 ⤵️

[Diana Ayala @DianaAyalaNYC]

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?"

[David Siffert @DavidASiffert]

The level of cruelty is just incomprehensible. https://t.co/X6zhEXbhtj
