The President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is one of the most coveted & prestigious positions for UC graduates. It gives a hiring incentive to campuses who hire recipients for a tenure track position. What a DAMN travesty.
This is capitulation to Trump's demand letter & anti-diversity agenda.

A devastating set of decisions on the part of UC leadership to withdraw support from our nationally recognized postdoc program that prioritizes research excellence combined with addressing our university public service mission. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

The funny thing about this is that the Smithsonian African American History Museum is built around the exact "Success" narrative Trump claims to want. You climb through the Middle Passage, slave cabin, Jim Crow train, etc, and come out into Oprah's studio and Obama.

A director of an immigrant rights group said that his organization had received around 4,000 calls regarding disappearances since June 6th. “Some we just don’t know where they’re at,” he said. “We keep getting reports that folks are missing.”

And now, SCOTUS says ok to deport whoever they are to a third country
We are so screwed
There is no longer “rule of law”

They are treating people worse than mere numbers, not even bothering to track them once they’re in the system. Unacceptable.

Unbelievable!
Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware.

Just FYI there won’t be any “first they came for…” because in the process of removing us immigrants they are creating a hardline police state. By the time they get done with us it will be too late for you so stand up for us now.
