This is a great piece!
My first post is (unfortunately) self-promotional but... this piece on agricultural insurance and political claim-making in rural India has been a long time in the making.

“Managed retreat that is not accompanied by substantial investment in creating safe, sustainable and affordable sources of housing could worsen an already monumental housing crisis.”

I can't stop thinking about these people risking their lives to save this city and the people in it who voted just a few months ago to keep them working in these unimaginable conditions
These teenagers and young men — 95% of whom are Black, Latinx, or Filipino — earn between $2.20 and $4 per hour, plus an additional $1 an hour when they’re actively fighting fires, according to the DJJ. ⤵️

Several faculty and students were given this designation with no explanation of why other than “violation of university policy.”

In my case, the violation could only have been filming interactions between campus cops, administrators and students during a peaceful sit in.

This is where we are.
NYU Campus Security and Administration is totally out of control.

On Wednesday - I filmed a peaceful protest in Bobst library for two hours.

Yesterday at 2pm while at home,
I received an email explaining that I’ve been designated “persona non grata” and banned from several buildings on campus.
