Why is @governor.ca.gov proposing an 8% budget cut for @uofcalifornia.bsky.social and @calstate.bsky.social, and why do most Democrats seem to be going along with him? I'm glad you asked!

Alt text: A group of six people stand on the steps outside a large stone building, participating in a public demonstration. Three people in the center hold microphones and papers, one holds a sign reading “People with Grad Student Power,” and two others hold a large blue banner that says “UC-AFT Local 1474.” One person raises their fist in the air.

A side-by-side view of two flyers promoting workers' events at UC Berkeley on May 1st. Left flyer: Title at the top: "WORKERS POWER UC!" in bold red letters with two black fist icons. Center features a black-and-white seal reading "Lecturers Librarians UC-AFT Local 1474" with crossed writing tools and "UCB" letters. Below the seal: "MAY DAY CELEBRATION AND RALLY" in large blue text. Event details in black: "May 1st, Noon, Mario Savio Steps, Sproul Plaza." Right flyer: Bold green and black text: "STRIKE! Against UC’s Illegal Attack on Workers" at the top. "MAY 1 International Workers Day" to the right. Center features a black-and-white photo of a group of people holding signs that read "ON STRIKE." Large text below photo: "UC BERKELEY." Event details: "Telegraph and Bancroft, Berkeley, CA" and "Picket Line 10AM - 2PM." Hashtag "#3299STRONG" at the bottom. Background is a faded yellow sunburst pattern with a silhouette of a crowd holding picket signs along the bottom.
This International Workers Day, we come together not just to celebrate, but to organize, fight, and demand what is rightfully ours. As @afscme3299.bsky.social workers strike at Berkeley and across the UC system, we stand in solidarity. Without workers, there is no university. @ucaft.bsky.social

A blue flyer with bold yellow and white text that reads: "UC-AFT Elections, April 28 – May 4, 2025." Below, it lists three voting items: "Statewide Executive Board," "Chapter Leadership and Bylaws," and "Unit 18 Table Team and Bargaining Pillars." Additional text explains that each UC-AFT member will receive a unique, anonymous ballot through Election Buddy and emphasizes that participation is crucial to union democracy. At the bottom, there are three illustrated hands holding ballots with checkmarks. The UC-AFT Local 1474 logo, featuring an outline of California with "UC-AFT" written across it and a small flame, appears in the lower right corner.
Voting starts tomorrow! We are electing the UC-AFT Local 1474 Executive Board, chapter-level officers and bylaws changes, and the Unit 18 Table Team and contract campaign pillars. Watch for your ballot and check the FAQ for more info: ucaft.org/member_resou... @ucaft.bsky.social

Threats to remove accreditors are transparent attempts to consolidate power in the hands of the administration in order to stifle teaching & research.
🧵
The White House needs to understand: Teachers are their union. It's how we collectively have a voice. When you attack unions, you attack teachers. When you leave us out of the conversation, you ignore teachers voice.
