Community ask, please boost.
A person in the East Bay, severely disabled by ME, is looking for an accessible place to stay (ideally long term) by Monday, tomorrow! Please forward me any leads and I'll pass to them. Ideally looking for Oakland/Berkeley, transit accessible. They are a wheelchair user.

“Berkeley Copwatch has been galvanizing the community to lobby city council members to stop the deployment of FLOCK cameras and to end mass surveillance in Berkeley…
The evidence suggests that BPD may have intentionally lied in September of 2025 when they promised Berkeley City Council that Flock data collected in Berkeley would never be used for immigration enforcement. In fact, searches had already been conducted and BPD either knew or should have known it.”

🪲💧 Ripple #bugs live their entire lives on the surface of streams, pivoting in less than the blink of an eye while stirring the #water beneath them into swirling vortices.
#Biomechanics researcher Víctor Ortega-Jiménez spent five years figuring out their secret: feather-like oars on their middle legs that deploy and collapse in just 10 milliseconds. Engineers are now building small #robots that mimic these water-skating abilities.

"When speech about Palestine has been smeared as “antisemitic” and prohibited, an entire constituency of #students has likewise experienced the silencing of their #grief, which is too often bypassed even in the discourse of #socialjustice. #Palestine is here at UC #Berkeley, as well as there, in the ongoing Israeli #genocide in #Gaza."
