Check your email as grad students at UC Davis just received a copy of a letter sent by UC President Michael Drake in response to student worries about immigration, freedom of movement given the coming administration and what they've signaled.

(This is not the letter, but text from an email from UC Davis Graduate Studies. that accompanied the letter.)

#Immigration #LaMigra #UniversityOfCalifornia
Travel Guidance for International Students, Scholars, and Employees UCOP recommends that each campus adapt and distribute the following systemwide travel guidance for international students, scholars, and employees at their location, and continue to advise international students, scholars, and employees as appropriate. The systemwide travel guidance is as follows: The University of California has received questions from community members concerned about potential changes to U.S. immigration and visa processes following the results of the recent election. We want to assure you that the University is monitoring immigration-related developments and will inform you of any that may impact you. At this time, no changes have been announced. Winter Travel Planning: We do not anticipate any formal changes to immigration and visa rules before January 20, 2025. However, we recommend international students and scholars take the following precautions to encourage safe travel during the winter break and the month of January and encourage you to consider completing your travel and returning before January 20.

In their 30 years as a band, the Grateful Dead scored just one Top 40 hit with "Touch of Grey," and not a single Grammy nomination.

"We've had people come up to us, say, 'You guys are never gonna make it. You play too long. You play too loud,'" Kreutzmann recalled.

But through their decades together, they built a legion of followers -- "Deadheads," who started recording and sharing their concerts.

"You'd look from the stage and it looked like a forest of trees of microphones," Kreutzmann said of their fans recording their concerts.

Their record company advised against allowing fans to record, but the band refused, saying they weren't worried about piracy.

"It was the smartest thing we ever did," Kreutzmann said.

The Grateful Dead played more than 2,300 concerts and fans recorded most of them.

"Those cassettes went out all over the world," Hart said. "They were our archivists as well."

When Jerry Garcia died in 1995, the band broke up. They weren't sure they could find a way to carry on without their frontman.

The surviving members went off to start other projects and bands, but the Grateful Dead's spirit would always live on.
Weir said Garcia visits him in dreams from time to time, including recently.
"In the dream, Jerry comes to me and he says, 'Listen, I'm gonna invite a song in to meet you.
I want you to meet this song.' …
What that dream did was, it solidified in me the notion that, yes when we play the songs, they're living things," Weir said.
"They come and visit our world and they come through us."

"A Genocidal Special Relationship" by Carlota McAllister

"Israel used Guatemala’s genocide not only as a platform for asserting itself as a minor imperial power and a profit center for its military and associated industries but also as a proving ground for anti-Indigenous counterinsurgency. In return, Guatemala has numbered among Israel’s most loyal international allies. Not only did Guatemala move its embassy to Jerusalem in 2017, but it also voted alongside a tiny number of nations to protect Israel from condemnation in the early stages of the latest bombardment of Gaza."

I found myself nodding along furiously while reading Ed Zitron's "Never Forgive Them". An instant classic of critical technology appreciation:

https://www.wheresyoured.at/never-forgive-them/

The only criticism I have is that he's merely highlighting one small part of the enshittified technology experience: That of the adult USian consumer.

That's a valid perspective of course, but there are SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE, for whom tech is infinitely worse still. (Type "facebook rohingya" into your search engine of choice.)

Never Forgive Them

In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting worse, despite what tech’s “brightest” minds might pr…

It’s not overstating that due to #ClimateChange there will be a mass migration the likes humanity has never seen before, and whichever country harnesses this phenomenon will be the world leader for the next few centuries.

Spain is committing to normalizing 300,000 immigrants annually. The US is doing the opposite. We’ll see the dividends this will pay for Spain for decades while oligarchs continue to pillage the US people and scapegoat immigrants.
