A huge attack on several humanities units (Arabic, Judaic Studies, Holocaust Studies, Classics, Religion, German/Scandinavian, Russian) and tenure now unfolding at the University of Oregon (a blue state!) Closure of units + faculty layoffs threatened. See next post in thread for actions to take. 1/3

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.
We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.
Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Christo’s was a blast! And fine turnout too. So it seems like not promoting this on the socials beforehand did not really move the needle either way. Interesting.

Playing at Christo’s in #SalemOR tonight with Jack Radsliff’s trio. Aside from looking forward to some awesome swing, also curious to see turnout: Will people show up without the usual self promo on various meta platforms?

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.
These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.
The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

The county commissioners here in Josephine County, Oregon, have basically evicted my county's library.
They voted unanimously to terminate the library's lease with 30 days' notice (the lease is through December 2025).
Petty? Foolish? Malicious? All of the above?

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago.
In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists.
Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.
