“his whereabouts are unknown at this time” Say his name. Mahmoud Khalil

I got your waste, fraud, and abuse right here

Trump went ahead and cut 400 million in grants at Columbia anyways, despite the vicious crackdown on student activists. Universities could get the memo that appeasement of fascism doesn’t work, but they won’t.

I am mired in terrifying news every day and this manages to stand out.

There is no reason to do this other than hate.

Some people told me I was overreacting when I filed a restraining order against Oakland’s local agitator after he posted my address and I’m glad I didn’t listen to them. Now we need to hold the dark money network that’s funding these agitators accountable.

Ella Baker is your favorite organizer's favorite organizer.

Corporate democrats are showing their whole ass. They’ve been a controlled opposition party since citizens united and are so out of touch that they want to compromise with a coup. Musk et al are lawless and gutting the constitution on your watch. History will remember you as one who let it happen.

San Francisco, this action is today at civic center plaza. Speakers include Nobel Laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, and Palestinian genocide enthusiast Scott Weiner. There’s an eventbrite with more information, but please don’t get in the habit of rsvping to protests. www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-up-f...

See you in #sanfrancisco to #standupforscience on Friday 3/7 1-3pm at Civic Center Plaza! 🧪👩🏼‍🔬 Optional RSVP here: www.eventbrite.com/e/stand-up-f...

The Matts and Noahs saying "DEI failed" and we need to abandon it should be forced to drill down. Which do they oppose? Diversity? Equity? Inclusion? All three? If diversity, who is it that should be removed? If equity, what inequities should be restored? If inclusion, who should be excluded?

Call to action: Stand Up For Science rallies organized world wide for March 7. #3E #USProtests #March7Science If you can’t make it to a #StandUpForScience rally, join the nationwide workplace walkout at 12:00 PM. More information here: standupforscience2025.org/local-event-...

criticizing israel in an op-ed is now a hate crime on college campuses

Truly disgraceful, @columbiauniversity.bsky.social! apnews.com/article/colu...

Primary every last one.

Just a shining fucking beacon of government efficiency. Musk and Trump are a clown show with nukes.

Please wear a mask.

An Israeli social media trend shows people prank-calling family members, pretending to seek donations for Palestinian children, to mock their suffering in Gaza.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

Some "Russian Warship" vibes here from a tiny fed'l agency. via Brett Murphy: The African Development Foundation (budget ~$40 million) is putting up a fight and denying DOGE + Pete Marocco — the State Dept official dismantling USAID — access to their building:

🚨 Ya’ll they are trying to effectively “disappear” this trans woman in SoCal who has been targeted by the LA Sheriffs for years. Can we get more support down to the LAX Superior Court? People need to see this.

This is insane. The recall people across the Bay have people like this in their ranks from top to bottom. It is seriously endangering people.

WaPo can shove it ~ here's a starter pack of independent, worker-owned, and reader-funded media 🙏

Good morning, #TeslaTakedown! We currently have 74 upcoming protest events and growing, in the US and worldwide. Join a protest or create one at a Tesla store in your city at Teslatakedown.com! Musk isn't slowing down and neither are we! ✊

There it is.

Fantastic use of lenticular imagery at a protest at San Francisco Tesla today. #savedemocracy #standupfightback #indivisible

harm reduction drug education is KEY to keeping folks safe! CARRY NARCAN!! Need Narcan? We have Narcan!! Send me a message and I am happy to give you some to carry and distribute!

I would just like to issue a hearty "fuck you and go walk into the sea" to all the people who have spent the past decade yammering about their ~reasonable concerns~ about trans athletes

My cishet homies in San Francisco, it’s time to show up for your trans siblings.

Now that state collapse is a real possibility for the United States, you should look to those imagining & attempting to build worlds beyond the state as you seek your survival & the survival of your community, not antagonizing those who won’t cling to a crumbling empire. @williamcson.bsky.social

Sell your Teslas, dump your stock, join the picket lines. Hurting Tesla is stopping Musk, and stopping Musk will help save lives and our democracy. The stakes couldn't be higher and no one is coming to fix this- not our politicians and not our media. It's up to collective effort.

Protest outside Padilla’s San Francisco office has taken the street

Here is one *deeply* heartbreaking trainee comment: "If they had it their way, I'd be a slave. They will cut my fellowship and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it. I'm not sure what will happen to me ..." (Just imagine what that must feel like). WE.MUST.DO.***MANY***.THINGS.TO.HELP.TRAINEES!
