California stands in solidarity with the people of Iran, who are confronting violent repression, mass internet and power shutdowns, and economic collapse imposed by a theocratic authoritarian regime.

The scale and persistence of protests across Iran demand fundamental change after decades of state violence and denial of basic rights.

In support of California’s Iranian community and in defense of universal human rights, we urge an immediate end to violence against civilians, the restoration of internet access, and respect for the Iranian people’s right to chart their own future.

More anti-Israel protesters targeting people’s homes:

Four University of Wisconsin regents “had their driveways vandalized with spray-paint and had fake blood smeared across their property…. A UW System employee's home was also targeted.”

@SFBART this sign near Lake Merritt BART makes no sense. Why is it marking The San Leandro Station that is 6+ miles away instead of one that’s just a few blocks walk?

@Noahpinion @TheRickWilson Hard to compete with a 20k BYD model. Whether or not you like Musk, it’s not good for American trade deficit or American workers.

Prediction. Risk asymmetry will determine the winner of the AGI / Agentic space. An incumbent (META, MSFT, etc), can’t win because there is too much potential downside to their brand and they’ll move slowly and carefully. Well funded upstarts don’t face this.

Take thirteen minutes, or bookmark this for later. This is from @ezraklein, taken from The Ezra Klein Show podcast. It explains precisely what this administration is doing and why it is essential to keep focus and not play into it.

🚨🚨A portion of the Santa Cruz Pier has collapsed, and is floating away. Look at the ominous wave action on the horizon. You are risking your life, and those of the people that would need to try and save you by getting in or too close to the water. #CAwx 🚨🚨

@Super70sSports K-rod Drop-off. We was pitching the 9th in a tie game and didn’t like the umps call on a pitch so he stomped off the mound in protest and missed the return throw back to him, allowing Jason Kendal to score from home. https://t.co/u1FGT49I4b
