The people of Los Angeles will rally on Monday, 6/9 to demand the release of everyone unjustly detained by ICE, like SEIU leader David Huerta, and an end to militaristic escalation on our communities. Join us and @aclusocal.bsky.social at 11 AM in LA to call for an end to these human rights abuses.

I binge listened to The Protocol over the weekend and thought it was fascinating. I’m wondering what others think, given how “both sides” it is (sort of) regarding gender affirming care. I appreciated the historical perspective, myself. Thoughts? podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Consistent with so much of what I’ve heard and observed. Private funders don’t want to pay to keep people employed & freezers running – they take for granted that they can just piggyback off of those things being federally subsidized, & just cover relatively minor expenses like “reagents”

"Some have even suggested that the fascist government is trying to get a reaction out of us so that it can declare martial law. The absurdity of such a position lies in the fact that an authoritarian regime doesn’t need the law, an excuse, or provocation to do what it wants to."

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

You know it’s Friday when your agency leaks just enough information to ruin your weekend. “Secretary Brooke Rollins has said her team is ready to deploy [firings] as soon as the injunction lifts…that are expected to include thousands of layoffs and relocations.” www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

Musk installed Starlink satellite internet at the White House without notifying cybersecurity officials, the WaPo reports. SpaceX engineers accessed the Eisenhower Building roof without Secret Service clearance. Starlink bypasses official monitoring systems, creating major security risks.

For all the talk of rounding up MS-13 members and such, cops and ICE thugs are the only gangs I see roaming the streets and terrorizing citizens.

If a Democratic president cut off one of the red states dependent on federal funding, it would be a political scandal. But cutting off California -- the single biggest "donor state" in the nation, one that sends in to the fed'l gov't ~$80 billion more than it gets back -- is straight-up theft.

It’s funny (not funny at all) that the academic job I applied for yesterday was at a UC. And the only reason I’m applying for it is because the administration wants to terminate all Forest Service Research offices. They truly are going to kill science.

For some perspective, the federal government funds over half of all scientific research and development conducted by the @uofcalifornia.bsky.social -- and UC is collectively responsible, in turn, for over 8% of all academic research conducted in the United States.
