The level of “nothing to see here” rhetoric from the highest levels of UC administration (including a 3-page FAQ!) is truly something to behold. www.dailycal.org/news/uc/uc-p...

"As anti-Zionist Jews, we experience antisemitism at the hands of Zionists; our members have been called “fake Jews,” “self-hating Jews” and “kapos"...our faith is disregarded and our perspectives are excluded from campus because we affirm Palestinian human rights." www.dailycal.org/opinion/op-e...

There is a felony case involving 3 UC Davis protestors who painted an egghead w/ Palestine solidarity messaging. A UCPD officer *fired his gun* at a student in violation of SOPs. Now body camera footage reveals the shot was not accidental as UC leaders told us. davisvanguard.org/2025/07/uc-d...

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

🚨🚨red alert, UC colleagues🚨🚨 President Milliken is telegraphing the university’s surrender to the administration’s demands. “Ensuring that UC remains” is administrativeese for “we are giving them all they want”

You are not seeing this slaughter live-streamed to your devices because Israel has murdered most of Gaza’s most prominent journalists in targeted assassinations.

They did so in order to strike fear into similarly situated non-citizen pro-Palestinian individuals, pro-actively (and effectively) curbing lawful pro-Palestinian speech and intentionally denying such individuals (including the plaintiffs here) the freedom of speech that is their right.

From conclusion, p 147: "Secretaries Noem and Rubio and their several agents and subordinates acted in concert to misuse the sweeping powers of their respective offices to target non-citizen pro-Palestinians for deportation primarily on account of their First Amendment protected political speech.

“This Court finds as fact and concludes as matter of law that Secretaries Noem and Rubio acted in concert to misuse the sweeping powers of their respective offices to target noncitizen pro-Palestinians for deportation primarily on account of their First Amendment protected political speech.”

“Higher ed officialdom’s current message is, “we aren’t people who fight.” This is easy read as, “Universities don’t offer anything worth fighting for.” This is the worst possible message at a very bad time.”

“Universities need to unite around action, starting with lawsuits, rather than demobilizing everyone with this waiting-and-seeing from their boards and presidents.” @ucaft.bsky.social

About to be the family that owns TikTok.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” Assata Shakur, rest in power.

our students and colleagues have never received justice for the violence they endured.. instead all we get is new restrictions on (and surveillance of) our speech and activity

According to Tom Homan, for the crime Tom Homan allegedly committed, Tom Homan should have his citizenship stripped away and be renditioned to a foreign prison without receiving due process in the courts. Sorry, Tom Homan, but those are Tom Homan's rules.

“The campaign by one faction of the Jewish community over the past twenty-three months to systematically label political outrage as ’antisemitism’ is causing destruction at every level of civil society in our state.” Aaron Shakow on the Massachusetts Special Commission on Combating Antisemitism:

“Instead of treating the report according to procedure as you are obligated to do under both US constitutional law and University of California policy, you forward the allegation, unadjudicated to an office of the federal government.” - Judith Butler www.thenation.com/article/soci...

My column in the new issue of @thenation.com, in which I argue that liberals who are finally acknowledging that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza must atone for nearly two years of complicity.

new post at the Remaking blog, called The University of California's Charlie Kirk Tribute Act. It's about what we've learned about UC sending in names to Trump's Office of Civil Rights. It's about betrayal, dumb strategy, fighting back utotherescue.blogspot.com/2025/09/line...

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.

every Jewish Studies colleague I know who had an NEH grant saw their funding cut earlier this year. now we know where the money went: to the far-right, "western-civilization"-worshipping Tikvah Institute to promote their vision of "Jewish Civilization" as a foundation stone of "the West"

It was a wild weekend in tech and labor. Going to round up some of the biggest stories we're tracking right now. First up, xAI laid off 500 of 1500 workers after asking each of them to do an overnight skills test. (Via reporting by Grace Kay at Business Insider) #ai #tech #labor

“The fact that someone somewhere, protected by anonymity, has made allegations of this kind is apparently sufficient to forward the names to an office of the federal government that has demonstrated contempt for civil rights and established university procedures.” www.chronicle.com/article/when...

“Charlie Kirk in His Own Words” 17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah.

It's "great" to see my employer releasing names and information about *alleged* behavior to the Trump admin, without even telling the people who've been accused what it is that they're accused of. Utterly reprehensible. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

genuinely stunning to watch the Peacock commentators avoid, to the point of incoherence, even the slightest mention of why people are protesting as they disrupt stage after stage, every climb is lined with Palestine flags, and every inch of road is painted "PALESTINA LIBRE" or "NO AL GENOCIDIO"

“Chancellor Rich Lyons should not have given assurances that he wouldn't be giving our information to the federal government,” the student said. “Beyond that, he should never have bowed down so easily.” www.dailycal.org/news/campus/...

Israel has bombed Qatar in an attempt to murder Gaza negotiators gathered for ceasefire talks, just days after bombing Yemen to murder the Prime Minister and cabinet in Sanaa, all while conducting a genocide. Obscene levels of violence. A terrorist regime in the fullest sense.

Even worse is that on many of our campuses (including the University of California) not only will the administration meet with such students, they will violate their rights of faculty, staff, and students without a second thought if they think it will stop a lawsuit. Extremist groups know this.

Holy shit: Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. www.hcn.org/articles/fir...

I love cycle racing and I love having gotten back into watching it this past year. But I love more the assertion of our collective humanity against complicity in genocide, even if (especially if!) it disrupts the sport and raises the costs of said complicity.

“In choosing to crush those who would stand up for Palestine, UC leaders were explicitly adopting the position of the same Zionist activists whose cynical claims of antisemitism are now being employed by the Trump admin in extorting American universities.” utotherescue.blogspot.com/2025/09/why-...

A bombshell report from @mapthepower.bsky.social‬ has uncovered the names of those funding the super PACs attacking Zohran. The list includes companies like AirBnB, the owners of the New York Giants, and New York's richest man. Their collective net worth? Over $369 billion dollars.

Kao is committing to a “starvation diet” of 250 calories a day — the average amount of nourishment available to Palestinians in Gaza, as reported by Oxfam in April 2024. www.dailycal.org/news/campus/...

Israel is not an "ally" of the US. It is a proxy force. It is used to attack popular liberation movements across West Asia—and elsewhere in the global South—to prevent sovereign development and thus maintain the conditions for US capital accumulation.
