Jewish faculty at UCLA organized an open letter www.latimes.com/california/s...

Please sign our open letter demanding that the Univ of California reject the malicious attacks from the Trump admin tinyurl.com/ucstandup

We had a Chain of Hearts craft event here at UCLA today and it was a lot of fun! Around 50 people showed up!

A police attack on a film screening is just one of the assaults on student freedoms that have turned UCLA into more of a fortress than a place of higher learning, write four UCLA faculty members.

"Beyond the absurdity of sending a battalion of riot police to seize a screen consisting of a sheet & 2 poles, the constant & extreme police..presence on campus since last April has made [it] nearly unrecognizable as a university." www.thenation.com/article/soci...

“A police attack on a documentary film screening is just one of the assaults on student freedoms that have turned UCLA into more of a fortress than a place of higher learning.” www.thenation.com/article/soci...

On Apr 30 an outdoor movie screening at UCLA was violently suppressed by roughly thirty police officers in riot gear with clubs and projectile weapons. Here a student picking up AV cables is grabbed and pushed by a police officer (video by Renee Tajima-Peña).

Around 500 people at Stand Up For Science rally in Los Angeles #standupforscience2025

Over 1000 people at the anti-Musk rally today in Hawthorne, near LAX (Los Angeles International Airport).

Children's Hospital LA is restricting gender-affirming care for youth, in violation of state law. Tonight hundreds of us rallied outside the hospital to demand it restore gender-affirming care for youth. Everyone has the right to fair access to health care. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch

Whatever happens in big politics, LGBTQ+ students, faculty, and staff are among the most vulnerable people on campus and need our support and protection more than ever.

My spouse Namhee Lee is being interviewed live at 9am (in ten minutes) by Larry Mantle on KPCC Laist 89.3 on the martial law declaration in South Korea. You can also listen here. laist.com/listen

Martial law was declared a moment ago in South Korea, a throwback to the 1970s, which shows that some people will stop at nothing to amass power and avoid accountability. Fascism is on the march for real. www.cnn.com/2024/12/03/a...

In an academic career, you begin with faith in the senior decisionmakers (who let you into grad programs, refereed your papers, gave you a promotion) but you soon realize no one "above" you is in charge and that the only quality control is you and the other randos still hanging around.

We must protect our populations that are under attack. Protect trans kids (and all trans folks everywhere)!

My friend David Palumbo-Liu posted this. I don't have a personal connection to the organizers, but it is a marvelous idea so please join if you are interested! forms.gle/jHuzs975ab7m...
