At long last, after costly litigation in which UCOP refused to make public the Trump demand letter to UCLA — here it is!!!

Many thanks to CUCFA for their appeal of the PRA denial. Here is to shared governance and academic freedom! @aaup

MAGA can tell me to “cry harder” all day long, but they know damn well they didn’t vote for ballrooms and breadlines.

They know.

They’re just too damn stubborn, stupid and scared to admit it.

The East Wing Desecrators

Given the extraordinary and unprecedented destruction of the entire East Wing, built in 1942 for the Office of the First Lady, it’s important to note who enabled this.

In this thread, I run through the companies and organizations involved and provide contact info.

I missed this dispatch earlier. Details on the companies that should live in shame for their role in rushed destruction of White House East Wing.

Remember them, and their "leaders."

Main point: read the @birddroneone.bsky.social thread.

Please understand that the only reason this has been released is because of the UCLA faculty association who filed a request and challenged the refusal in court. If you are a UC faculty member, join your FA!
BREAKING: The California Supreme Court has DENIED the University of California's request that it block the release of a 28-page, $1.2-billion fine Trump administration UCLA settlement offer. UC is required to give a faculty group the document today. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Reposting this call for the evening crowd. (And because I forgot @harikunzru.bsky.social is on here & we should have tagged him in the original)
Heyyyyy local authors & artists! We don't have the resources to organize something ourselves, but if one of you wants a space for a Fall of Freedom event on the evening of the 22nd, send an email to [email protected]. We might be able to host it. www.falloffreedom.com
Fall of Freedom
Fall of Freedom is an urgent call to the arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces sweeping the nation.

Trump literally says "I can do anything I want."

Trump is extra-judicially blowing boats out of the water in the Caribbean, body parts washing up on the shore.

Trump lied & tore down the East Wing of the White House... so far.

Trump moves an aircraft carrier to the Caribbean.

Where's the panic?

One of the reasons Britain, to this day, has a strong monarchist culture is because of what they did to all the guys who signed Charles I's death warrant.
The way we avoid having to do all of this again in 8 or 12 or 16 or 24 years is by imprinting a generational memory of, "oh, the last time they did that, all of the top guys - I mean, the ones who survived - went to prison for the rest of their lives, and had their property seized."

Holy SHIT!!!
Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.

They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus.

Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

Trump nominated a pro Jim Crow man to be the U.S. ambassador to South Africa.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. So, I transcribed some of it.

Brent Bozell is a sad excuse for a man. He should be shunned by everyone. No one should ever serve him a meal or a drink, fix his car, or mow his lawn.

The Tony Blair Institute is heavily backed by Larry Ellison & was “involved in plans to create a new ‘Trump Riviera.’” That vision “envisages creating a ‘blockchain registry for land’ to underpin the construction of up to 8 ‘AI-powered, smart planned cities on the inner side of the Gaza Ring.“ …1/

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings
