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.

It’s #WorldPrematurityDay

Every year, 15 million babies are born too soon.
Too small. Too early. And far too vulnerable to life-threatening complications.

But with the right care, most preterm and low birth weight babies survive. They can go on to thrive and lead wonderful lives bit.ly/43NzUH8

Spotify Faces Heat After ICE Recruitment Ads Surface — NYC Comptroller Wants Answers Brad Lander, a trustee of New York City’s pension funds, expressed concern about “reputational risks” to Spotify.

Thank you to NYC Comptroller @bradlander.bsky.social for his leadership in demanding answers from Spotify.

Stop paying for or using Spotify until they stop running ads that help ICE recruit more agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti...

the good thing about having a stomach bug is my stomach is on flat flat 😩

morning world. it’s Friday! I’m finally feeling and headed to a spa day with my mom group !

Me, every 2-5 business days:

Chevron plans to grow oil and gas production by 2% to 3% per year through 2030. It currently produces around 4 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. "There is need for significant investment to close the oil supply gap, equivalent to five Saudi Arabias" over the next decade, Wirth said.

When Big Oil companies claim to be partners in climate solutions, remember: they are lying.

As the climate crisis intensifies, Chevron is once again "increasing investments in oil and gas exploration," Reuters reports.

police dressed in camo like soldiers like total knobs

cops dressed head to toe in camo like full kit wankers

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Today is #WorldDiabetesDay.

#Diabetes can affect anyone, at any stage of life.

Support at home, school, work and during pregnancy makes a real difference.

Two-panel illustration showing that children with diabetes need support at home and at school. Top panel: A child sits at a dinner table with their parents. The father hands the child vegetables and says, “I’m so proud of you!” The mother asks, “Do you know how to calculate the insulin for your meal?” The child smiles and replies, “Yes!” The table is filled with bowls, plates of vegetables, and measuring tools for food portions. Bottom panel: The same child sits at a school desk sipping a juice box. A teacher leans in and asks, “Are you feeling better?” The child responds, “Yes, thank you!” Other students are working in the background. Text reads: “Children with diabetes need support… at home… and at school.”

We can help children living with type 1 #diabetes live happy, healthy and joyful lives.

🔹 Parents: Help manage meals, insulin and routines
🔹 Teachers: Notice the signs and allow snack and break times as needed.
🔹 Friends & community: Create spaces of inclusion.

Despite a ceasefire mandating the passage of humanitarian aid, only a fraction of the aid needed has been let into Gaza.

Hundreds of alleged human rights abuses in immigrant detention, report finds The office of Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff asserts it “identified 510 credible reports of human rights abuse” against immigration detainees. DHS disputed the claims.

Our tax dollars are funding the suffering in ICE detention centers: overcrowded cells, medical neglect, and trauma.
This is a stain on our country.

During the workday, people living with #diabetes may need time for blood sugar checks, insulin and breaks.

Remember:
💬Ask how you can support.
👂Listen to what they need, or do not need, from you.
🙅‍♀️Blaming and shaming is never helpful.
