@billwanjohi I don't think it would move the needle for her, but the first person I saw get arrested, when the cops started lunging for us, is a trans man. My friend was there with his street medic kit because he was afraid someone would get hurt when the police cleared the encampment.

I was arrested for protesting during spring '24. Two of my fellow protestors were only acquitted last week, nearly two years after. Protesters at my campus had wrists broken by cops and had their civil rights violated in jail. Others were indefinitely suspended. Under Biden(1/3)

Mr. Esper, 47 of us spent the night in jail. Due to time, place, and manner policies, you cannot in fact get "protest permits" at most institutions of higher education. But I will make sure I pass along your insights to my colleagues who have already attempted civil litigation.
Dilan Esper@dilanesper

this is a combination of BS'ing and moral cowardice. You can get a protest permit and follow the rules and you won't get arrested (and if you do, you can sue). Or you can go to jail as civil disobedience!

2. Is there a reason that the centrist organizations you lionize (Third Way, the Lincoln Project, Center for American Progress, etc.) are not organizing campus resistance? Why are they not flexing their institutional power to publicly resist fascism? Be the change, Stacy. (3/3)

So my questions for Stacy and other centrists are: 1. Do you think students at particular risk, already brutalized by the Biden administration, should face the (even more empowered) coercive carceral force of the state under Trump knowing the Dem. Party won't support them? (2/3)

Pope Leo XIV
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex·
Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.

Pope Leo XIV
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex·
Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.

California’s $20 an hour fast food minimum wage, instituted in 2024, did not reduce employment. It led to only the most modest of price increases—barely noticeable to a consumer. It significantly improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of workers. capitalandmain.com/despite-apocal…

SEIU California has un-endorsed Scott Wiener for Congress because he opposes the CEO tax. But San Francisco SEIU members have wanted a sole endorsement for Connie Chan since the beginning. via @io_y_g missionlocal.org/2026/04/sf-con…

1/ Today, we filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board over @propublica management’s unilateral implementation of an AI policy without first bargaining with our union. Of note, the policy provides no job protections to our members.
