Nice words my Governor @GavinNewsom: agree. We've all seen your shtick when *your* CPUC (& other Commission) appointees get you bad PR: you could dump em, but don't. Yet you do sack those who piss off Ag/Utilities. You & CA Dems can replace UC Regents / UCLA Chancellor who may cave. Will you, Gavin?

Agreed 💯 I trust his office will offer UCLA all the assistance necessary to make it so. Please.

Go Gav. This administration must surely have better things to do with their time and the publics money!

As a UC Grad am demanding that the University of California Los Angeles and the UC Regents tell Trump and his Administration to go fuck themselves!

No President of the US should have the power to withhold grant money from universities on a personal whim. This is extortion. Litigation is required. #DoNotObeyInAdvance #FightFascism

Will the ultra-wealthy and the sociopathically corrupt ever be completely deterred by litigation?

No, but it still beats capitulation.

Of course. I was hoping to nudge the hive mind’s creative thinking in the opposite direction.

As a proud UC grad, I know @UCLA is a global leader in research, innovation, education, and healthcare. A $1B federal demand would devastate the nation’s top public research university, cut off life-saving care, and halt economic growth. #StandUpForUC ucal.us/standupforuc
