Recent state-level elections in India have further consolidated the power of the ruling Hindu nationalist BJP led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “The general public does not think the elections are free and fair in India,” says Arfa Arfa Khanum Sherwani, an Indian journalist.

Glad to see an elected official giving credit to the Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard campaign for this win. We need more of you saying this. They did incredible work and they are not done!
Thrilled that Easy Aerial won’t be permitted to renew its lease at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Full statement here:

Very excited to share an excerpt I illustrated about a measure called the super-expropriation index from David I. Backer’s new book, “As Public As Possible: Radical Finance For America’s Public Schools.” If you’re interested in rebuilding school finance policy to serve the public read his book now!
This is *extremely* cool: @soumyadhulekar.bsky.social illustrated a section of my book on super-expropriation and school finance. www.soumyadhulekar.com/the-super-ex...

@schooldaves.bsky.social’s writing and research has made me interested long-term in municipal bonds and for that I will NEVER forgive:

See you there!!!!!
The Brooklyn Navy Yard’s lease agreements with Easy Aerial and Crye Precision are a moral failure and a betrayal of public trust.
I’ll be with the DBNY Coalition tomorrow at 8:30am outside Building 92. See you there. ✊🏾🇵🇸
