I’ve been working with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social since he was campaigning to create the Office of Deed Theft Prevention, and now, it’s a reality. We will continue to use every lever of power within City Hall to keep New Yorkers in their homes, and finally bring an end to Black displacement.
For too long, City government has stood idly by while homeowners fall victim to criminal deed theft. Those days are over. We're creating the City's first Office of Deed Theft Prevention. If you think you or someone you know may be a victim of deed theft, visit nyc.gov/deedfraud. @chiosse.bsky.social

In a letter to the National Park Service, @speakermenin.bsky.social, alongside LGBTQIA+ Caucus Co-Chairs @chiosse.bsky.social and Justin Sanchez, denounced the Trump administration’s removal of the Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument and urged its immediate return.

When that Blackrock check clears
4 senior House Dems — Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, & Ted Lieu — voted for a Republican-led resolution to “CONDEMN SOCIALISM,” a symbolic measure that passed the chamber on Wed. The vote comes as NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to meet with Pres. Donald Trump at the WH today.

This is the message ahead of #NoKings day, and if your local politicians aren't preaching it, well... they better start. Or maybe they'll end up like Cuomo.
"After we win in November, we do not demobilize. The rich and corporate interests who tried to buy this election with the millions they stole from our pockets will want to see us fail. We won’t let them." - Chi Ossé

Had a great time talking with Council Member @chiosse.bsky.social about his vision for NYC. See the conversation on @couriernewsroom.bsky.social ‘s YouTube channel
The City Council literally has to sue the Adams administration to make them enforce a law expanding rental assistance. I can’t wait for Zohran to be mayor.
Thanks to @chiosse.bsky.social and the City Council, the law is crystal clear: if a landlord hires a broker, they pay the fee. Now the City must actively enforce it.

"A lot of our establishment Democrats do and say more about progressives and folks who are trying to enter this party with new and fresh ideas than they do against Trump and Republicans," @chiosse.bsky.social says in this no-holds-barred Q&A. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The city will depend on renters to be proactive in reporting violations. “There’s this element of vigilantism that will be able to take place here, when it comes to holding these landlords and brokers accountable,” said sponsor @chiosse.bsky.social. via @tareqsaghie.bsky.social: bit.ly/4l0g2GZ

Today, the FARE Act, sponsored by @chiosse.bsky.social, becomes law. This law, taking effect in 180 days, will prohibit landlords from passing the fees of brokers they hire onto prospective tenants, bringing greater fairness to New York City’s rental housing market.

BREAKING: Cambridge City Councilor @votejivan.bsky.social is moving to end forced broker fees in Cambridge. This comes as NYC—led by @chiosse.bsky.social—passed legislation earlier this month ending forced broker fees.
I’m sponsoring a policy order for a hearing on ending brokers’ fees to rent an apt at Monday’s Council meeting. Tenant-paid brokers’ fees add thousands to the cost just to move into an apt. And with NYC passing a ban this week, Cambridge will be one of the few cities left with them

The Fairness in Apartment Rentals (FARE) Act, sponsored by @chiosse.bsky.social, ensures that tenants are not forced to pay the fee for a real estate broker they did not hire. Let's run through some facts about this legislation. 🧵
