MPD and MCSO would like you to stop yelling at them about Flock cameras, though. And to just get used to mass surveillance, already. That’s why they’re already shifting the conversation to different manufacturers, other surveillance tech. (See the screenshot!) (4/

Two big takeaways: 1) People in Milwaukee don’t want to be around Flock cameras. Our constituents don’t want their vehicles tracked, or to get stalked, based on thin promises it will make them safer. (2/

That bill, if passed, would help keep the public and firefighters safe. Thank you to the many folks who came out today to see this vivid demonstration of what good policy (or, instead, continuing to align policy to corporate interests) can look like. (3/3)

Adopting fire sprinklers in new construction, and incentivizing retrofits, is one way to preserve not just housing, but life. Today’s demo by the Milwaukee Fire Department underlines how critical it is to have public policy - like AB661 authored by Senator LaTonya Johnson. (2/3)

When I volunteer in shelters to assist folks who have lost their homes - and sometimes loved ones - to residential fires, I often wonder if something could have been done to prevent that loss. Here’s a case where we can and should do more: fire sprinklers. (1/3)

Thanks to @acluofwi.bsky.social, Milwaukee Turners, and everyone else organizing to slow down and stop mass surveillance in Wisconsin! If you can, please show up tomorrow @ 5:30pm at Milwaukee's City Hall (room 301-B) to testify -- or even just to show your solidarity, in person. (2/3)

Guardrails are permissions. Whether it’s Flock cameras, AI scale data centers or anything else, toothless guidelines developed only with the industries and departments exploting are not a win. They’re a way of diffusing protest and entrenching these inherently…

Representative Ryan Clancy @ryanclancywi.bsky.social · 01/09/2026
Toothless guidelines and backroom deals allowing the continued use and abuse of Flock cameras are not sufficient. Milwaukee should bag its cameras, end its contract, and work with us to ban the use of this technology statewide. AB576 does just that.

Patriotism can look like a parade, but it also looks like tacos and organizing in the park with comrades. (Ty to the MKE Anti-war Committee!) I'm so grateful today for everyone working for a better, truly democratic future — whether you're feeling patriotic today, or not. (2/2)

This July 4th, it’s clear: we can only have community, or solidarity, without white nationalism, imperialism, and fascism. It is possible to love a country’s history, and its people, while opposing its government’s acts — and the capitalist ideology that limits our vision. (1/2)

I was grateful to have the opportunity to speak after Democratic Socialists of America - Madison’s screening of Boycott. Wisconsin is, shamefully, one of 38 states which has an anti-BDS law on the books, and I was happy to address how to support our legislation to repeal it.

It’s June 11th. Salah Sarsour has been detained by ICE since March 30th, not having been found guilty of a crime since he was a child, and is being treated horribly. He’s lost 30 pounds in detention. He is not receiving vital medical and religious accommodations. (1/2)

Good policy matters. In 2021, after I passed the Right to Counsel providing legal assistance to families facing eviction, bad-actor landlords started giving up their properties. I’m thrilled that the trend has continued, and that more and more residents are able to own the homes that they occupy…

It’s a great sign we were able to stop Governor Evers and Speaker Vos’ rushed plan for our temporary $2.3B budget surplus. They would spend almost half the tax relief on folks making six figures — & most often nothing, an average of 74 cents per check, for seniors and others in need. (1/2)

I’m so grateful for the many, many stakeholders who spoke up and against Evers/Vos/LeMahieu’s sloppy, lame duck, $1.8 billion plan to spend down Wisconsin’s surplus. A deal that would have provided zero help to 1.4 million of us. You stepped up and defeated this! Thank you ❤️ 🌹
