Faculty fight back and win!
WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.
BREAKING: In AAUP et al v. Trump (wall-to-wall union lawsuit challenging the administration’s unlawful use of TItle VI to reshape the University of California system), the faculty and staff of the UC system WON!!!

We were granted our preliminary injunction! @aaup.org

NEW — Rashida Tlaib and 20 other members of Congress have introduced a resolution to officially recognize Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people.

It notes that between 10/23 and 11/25, the US sent $21,700,000,000 in military aid to Israel and authorized $30,000,000,000+ in new weapons deals.

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms:

✅He personally directs criminal investigations.
✅He is targeting opponents.
✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents.

Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

Biden didn’t release the Epstein files because Merrick Garland was actively investigating Epstein/Maxwell co-conspirators all the way up until January 2025. Then Trump shuttered the probe. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
House Democrats press DOJ for details on Epstein co-conspirators probe that was "inexplicably killed"
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein provided the Justice Department with "precise and detailed" information about 20 alleged co-conspirators, House Democrats say.

This sounds crazy, but there is apparently evidence out the ass for it. Not just sex trafficking, but a little world domination thrown in. Terrible as fiction, but I am somehow not surprised by the reach of these relationships as real life.
Coming up at 11 am ET on ResistanceLive, we're talking about revelations from the Epstein files about his friendship with Bannon, and how Epstein advised Bannon routinely on strategy about Trump and far right fascism, --

Across the country, voters support many of Zohran Mamdani's ideas, including:

-Increasing taxes on the rich
-Universal childcare
-Freezing rent
-Raising the minimum wage

Everything Democrats do must focus on enacting popular policies that help working people.

That is the path forward.

House Republicans: how you vote next week will be on your record long after Trump is gone. 2028, 2030, and beyond.

Vote against the discharge petition and we will remind people every day which side of history you were on.

Not that I generally approve of politicians telling teachers what to teach, but in this case it's at least an attempt to preserve history instead of erase or whitewash it.

Obviously this person is very dangerous.
