Yup. Most of UCSF has been running painfully short staffed for years. The hiring freeze will absolutely make things much worse. Retiring employees, for example, won’t be replaced.

UC Bosses Use Trump Union Busting Tactics Against UCSF Oakland Children's Hospital Unions Over 1800 NUHW and IUOE Local 39 workers are on strike at UCSF Oakland Children's hospital in Oakland against a union busting drive by UC management and the Regents. They are telling workers they do not have the right to continue with their present unions and also that they will lose benefits and wages as well as free healthcare.

In response to UCSF's announced layoffs yesterday, join us at our UPTE mass meeting at UCSF, Friday, 6/27 in front of the Parnassus Hospital, 12 - 1 pm. Come learn more about UPTE's strategy to demand the UC rescind these layoffs and fight for safe staffing levels.

Whelp, that aged well. Never underestimate the will of a dumb old white guy with too much power.

Agreed. The US has been content to attack Iran via Israel as a proxy. It’s very convenient and safe. No reason to abandon that strategy now.

It would be pretty hilarious to greet the 2,000 national guard members descending on Los Angeles tonight by calmly eating tacos on the porch and cranking up the mariachi music.

Kings fan here - I’m still mad about us picking Bagley over him in the draft. I get it.

Kansas smacked my bracket but gained a fan. WTG, ladies. Amazing game.

This Kansas State vs Kentucky women’s basketball game has been incredible. Both these teams are so full of talent, drive, and hard work. I wish they could both advance! #womensports #marchmadness #ncaabasketball

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

My heart breaks for you. It never gets any easier, but please know that scout had a better life because you were in it. I’m certain your pup was very lucky to have you.

I just don’t like to see us stoop to the kind of misinfo and lies we see coming from Trump. We’re better than that and it discredits us.

People on Medicaid describe the services they try and receive and how the latest cuts will affect them. A must listen for all Americans.

I don’t hate this idea. I just want the gerontocracy out. We’ve got elected leaders passing out at the House podium, falling and breaking hips, having what look like strokes or seizures while giving speeches… 70+ year old officials need to retire.

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"
