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...

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).

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.

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.
