University of California researchers produce some of the most cutting edge science in the country, made possible by federal grants from NIH, NSF, DOE, and more. When are the Regents and UC President Milliken going to stand up against Trump’s draconian cuts? www.latimes.com/california/s...
Yes, that’s a human brain on a cafeteria tray. UCLA fair shows off science cuts under Trump
UCLA's researchers go low-tech to plead their case to the public with poster boards and props. The Trump administration has suspended more than $500 million in research grants to the university.

And today every flight going into the New York region from DCA were delayed or cancelled -for hours this afternoon
BREAKING: Newark Airport is a full-blown disaster—800+ flights canceled, 5-hour delays, and the FAA bleeding staff like a severed artery.

This isn’t just Newark—it’s a nationwide meltdown in real time caused by a rotting, underfunded system.

And guess what? It’s about to get worse.

This International Workers Day, we come together not just to celebrate, but to organize, fight, and demand what is rightfully ours. As @afscme3299.bsky.social workers strike at Berkeley and across the UC system, we stand in solidarity. Without workers, there is no university. @ucaft.bsky.social

Trump’s executive order on accreditation is yet another attempt to dictate what is taught, learned, & said by college instructors & students.

Threats to remove accreditors are transparent attempts to consolidate power in the hands of the administration in order to stifle teaching & research.

The White House needs to understand: Teachers are their union. It's how we collectively have a voice. When you attack unions, you attack teachers. When you leave us out of the conversation, you ignore teachers voice.
