Trump is withholding $300M in science $ from UCLA based on antisemitism & inviting UCLA to “resolve this matter,” presumably by giving Trump control of the university.

Having worked to stop antisemitism at UCLA & other UCs, I’ll say this about Trump’s pretextual, fascist move:🧵

We took some time to read about Cesar Chavez today, learning about his legacy and work to improve the lives of so many working Californians and their families! Hope everyone had a meaningful holiday.

Nowroz Mubarak to all celebrating today - wishing you all a happy and prosperous New Year and spring of growth.

I'm proud to represent the largest Persian community anywhere outside of Iran, a community that has interwoven its culture into the vibrance and beauty of Los Angeles.

Nowroz Mubarak and Happy New Year to all who celebrate!! #Nowroz

[Senator Henry Stern @SenHenryStern]

For his birthday, I gave @BenAllenCA a whole bunch of energy oversight questions in his Budget Committee 🥳

[Senator Ben Allen @BenAllenCA]

These acts of hatred against our Hindu and other religious communities will never have a place in society, and must be condemned to the strongest possible extent.

I stand in solidarity with @BAPSLosAngeles and the Hindu-American community during this difficult moment.

🌲 Happy Tu Bishvat, birthday of the trees!

Today, we recognize the importance of nature, trees, and the environment in our lives, as well as our role in protecting them. As we celebrate, let’s be reminded that we get one planet and it’s our job to take care of it.

[Assemblymember Chris Ward @AsmChrisWard]

This morning I met with local Jewish community members for my annual Jewish Roundtable. Now more than ever, discussions like these serve to help me assess the needs and priorities of our Jewish population. It was a great conversation full of focus, determination, but also hope.

As a proud alum of @BerkeleyLaw, former student member of the UC Board of Regents, and son of a @UCLA professor, it was an honor receiving @UofCalifornia's Legislator of the Year award!

[Senator Josh Becker @SenJoshBecker]

Today we celebrate the birth of Rosa Parks, a trailblazer who stood up for civil rights and racial equality by refusing to accept injustice. May her legacy continue to inspire us in the face of challenges and strive for a more just and equitable society. #BlackHistoryMonth

[Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan @BauerKahan]

Happy Lunar New Year! As we welcome the Year of the Snake, let’s celebrate new beginnings, honor traditions, and share wishes for health, happiness, and prosperity with our communities. May this year bring joy and success to all!

[Senator Henry Stern @SenHenryStern]

80 yrs ago Auschwitz was liberated. Today, most Americans under 40 never heard of such a place. @CAgovernor reports shocking findings: ~26% of CA schools require Holocaust or genocide education of any kind. Look forward to working with Council co-chairs @AGRobBonta @TonyThurmond @CAJewishCaucus to remedy this risk. @CADeptEd is on the right track with @HolocaustJFCS and a growing collaborative of teachers determined to bring Holocaust education back to life in California classrooms.

[Senator Josh Becker @SenJoshBecker]

Happy #LunarNewYear to all who celebrate. Wishing everyone joy, prosperity, and good fortune as we celebrate the Lunar New Year — a time for hope, renewal, and togetherness! #CALeg #LunarNewYear2025

Wishing everyone in the Valley and beyond a joyful, healthy, and prosperous Lunar New Year! Gong Hay Fat Choy! #LunarNewYear

Appreciate getting to visit the @MobileTolerance mobile museum in town yesterday for International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

This tool for education was an important investment to help young people better understand many difficult lessons of the past.
