NEW: 38 NYS electeds say NO to rolling back rent stabilization in exchange for a gutted #GoodCause:

@SenGianaris: "The people of this great state deserve no less than our full efforts to protect all tenants, not pit one group of renters against another.”

[The NYS Tenant Bloc @TenantBloc]

Tenants across the lower east side, fighting gentrification and displacement on all fronts, say NO to rollbacks to rent stabilization.

We need to STOP rent hikes, not allow for more!

@CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins @GovKathyHochul stand with tenants in this year’s budget.

What happened in Alabama cannot stand.

I was proud to join @gillibrandny and the greatest example of the benefits of IVF, my daughter Lucy, to call for national legislation to protect IVF and other assisted reproductive technologies.

Right To Counsel is absolutely essential for New Yorkers! Thank you @bradhoylman for your support to fully fund @RTCNYC #EvictionFreeNY @Met_Council

[Brad Hoylman-Sigal 🌈🥯 @bradhoylman]

I’m calling for $260 million in this year’s budget to fund Right to Counsel. This money will ensure free legal representation for tens of thousands New Yorkers facing eviction and help right the imbalance of power in our court system! @RTCNYC #EvictionFreeNY

@leahfrombklyn Amen. They don’t say “Knock on Laminate” for a reason.

@ZohranKMamdani @housing4allNY And must include more protections from landlord harassment - which pushes tenants into housing court and onto a national tenant black list.

Democrats in Congress introduced bill banning hedge funds from buying/owning single-fam homes. NY needs a bill to guard us from the worst multi-family investors ⁦⁦⁦@bradhoylman⁩ @BrianKavanaghNY⁩ @housing4allNY⁩ ⁦@LindaBRosenthal⁩ https://t.co/GQpbGIQSnn

[Linda B. Rosenthal “the #OriginalRosenthal” @LindaBRosenthal]

BREAKING: My bill with @BrianKavanaghNY protecting rent regulation has been signed into law by @GovKathyHochul!

This law closes loopholes & ends devious tactics that were used to raise rents, overcharge tenants and deregulate countless units.

@leahfrombklyn Which proves that one can be “housing insecure” without even knowing it.

@mjuliamorris @MeidasTouch My thought exactly

@PM013 @thomashrockwell @MeidasTouch Story of his life

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

This was an actual comment made by Trump's lawyer today in the 14th Amendment case in Colorado as Trump's lawyers sought to challenge the definition of an insurrection:

Trump lawyer: Now you're gonna tell me, "Mr. Gessler, you're making it up." And I'm going to say, "Well so did the judge." And I'll say, "We're all sort of making it up at the end of the day."

Antisemitism, bigotry and hatred have no place on the Upper West Side or anywhere

[Leah Goodridge @leahfrombklyn]

Oh we need this everywhere:

Tenant advocates in Bellingham, Washington created an interactive map for the city which shows tenant complaints.

Repairs, harassment, discrimination, etc.

It basically is a resource for tenants looking for new housing but unaware of the red flags.
