Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Trump is reportedly planning massive and illegal funding cuts to California’s universities. I sent a letter to Trump demanding to know if these reports were true, what cuts were planned, and the legal basis for these cuts. The Golden State will not take this lying down. We deserve answers.

People dropping WWII GIs at Normandy as the OG anti-fascists let down by all that has happened. But they fought none of it at home or even in their own institutions. They abided the violent racism and patriarchy. They bristled at integration at every step. And were so easy to co-opt now.

I remember this kitten that willed itself to safety with mightiest of mews. No other war has been fought by one side with such an authentic and strategic concern for saving others, human or beast, friend of foe. Succor should thunder through every strategic assessment.

The logistics of the Life Strategy (rescue, repair, reconstruction) competed with those of the military strategy. If you only remember the damned dam in 2023. The pipeline only has so much throughput. Nobody *actually* reads as much logistics as they claim.

One of the Russian strikes on #Kyiv last night. Ukrainians live through that - and the very next morning, we go to work, kids go to schools, life goes on (we have to, we cannot let Russia win). Our resilience never ceases to amaze me, honestly.
