Emails and a @Reddit thread have been circulating mentioning a potential white supremacist rally near/at UCLA on Monday—some emails specifically targeting AAPI students.

Please share and be safe.

Petition closes today #DisabledInHigherEd #ThisisWhyWeDropOut

[Isabel Mavrides-Calderón @powerfullyisa]

The ADA is in danger of being gutted by the largest community college district. After blind students brought LACCD to federal court asking for their basic school materials to be accessible, LACCD appealed arguing that the ADA should not protect “unintentional discrimination” (1)

There are so many university specific diversity in science orgs that need to have conversations with both undergrad and grad orgs for students of color.

@The_Ada_Rhodes We've released the first-ever scholarship specifically for trans and gender minority students in engineering this week! 🥳 We think it's something to celebrate! https://t.co/K1zQ1ckm7E

So the first thread I want to do is tech/applications that have made my science easier and more accessible. Some of them are paid (not always accessible), but I'll try to offer a free version that I've used that may not be as great but worked for me. 1/

This is stating the obvious but I want to make sure it's salient:

When trans people leave academia because they don't feel safe or welcome here, they don't get big news features about those decisions.

[Disabled Student Union @ UCLA @dsuucla]

We have ONE HUNDRED participants just on our Zoom protest, and media are attending our in-person protest! @UCLA how hard do you want disabled students to fight for #equalaccess? #UCLAbleist

[Disabled Student Union @ UCLA @dsuucla]

It's happening today, @ucla. Will we see you there?

Applying to graduate schools is expensive. @QueerinAI and oSTEM are teaming up to run the Financial Aid Program to alleviate the burden of application and test fees for queer STEM scholars. International applicants are welcome to apply! https://t.co/jg7diYylCw
