- oh my god twitter IT HAPPENED @SFBARThello my friend you’re a long way from home
- We just voted to prohibit the use of tear gas. No “during the COVID-19 state of emergency.” No end-date. No sunset.
- New @UCBerkeley Campus Master Plan just dropped, and it is absolute eye candy for those who have long dreamed of A World Without Evans Hall
- Two ways to react to an incident like this. One of which actually respects the needs of a grieving campus. #UCLA
- On this day, Congresswoman @RashidaTlaib formally inducted 200 local elected officials from all over the country into the #squad. Do you believe in a more equitable and just America? Rashida says you’re in, too. #LP2019 @LocalProgress
- I thought it wouldn't be tasteful to share that the neighbor at the center of the UC Berkeley enrollment lawsuit spends half his time at his second home in New Zealand... but it looks like he just told The Atlantic. Incredible piece from @AnnieLowrey:
- The international newspapers display outside Moffitt Library at @UCBerkeley which is updated daily to show the world’s front pages... is frozen on March 16. Like amber. It’s the tiniest little thing, but I find it so profoundly unsettling.
- Had to come see it from above for myself. Literally while the city council was deliberating on a proposal to refer to staff to paint Black Lives Matter on a street, the high schoolers just... did it. If that’s not a perfect allegory for this moment, I don’t know what is.
- Thank you to those Berkeley neighbors who have written lovely messages to me tonight to make clear, in case there was any uncertainty, that they do not believe UC Berkeley students are residents. I appreciate your honesty.
- Berkeley City Council has unanimously voted to authorize an amicus brief in support of UC Berkeley in the court ruling limiting enrollment. Whatever happens, whether the stay is granted or not, I will be proud of my colleagues for standing on the right side of history. #berkmtg
