UC Berkeley settled an antisemitism lawsuit, agreeing to pay $1 million in legal fees and to implement mandatory antisemitism and anti-discrimination training for students, faculty and staff, and to create a Title VI officer to oversee future antisemitism investigations.

Considering that the supposed antisemitic incidents on campus involved anti-genocide and pro-Palestine protests, and that the university is using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism, which conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism, it seems highly likely that the new "antisemitism and anti-discrimination" training they're going to impose on students and staff will serve to punish and silence voices that criticize Israel and support Palestine.

The #UniversityOfCalifornia, my alma mater, was founded on #ThisDayInHistory in 1868 when the governor signed a bill that passed assets of two prior institutions into a new public university. #UCBerkeley, its first campus, opened in 1873. The UC system is the top-rated in the US.

"Facts and established truths are regularly denied in contemporary life. This situation has brought paranoid politics into the mainstream, from conspiracy theories like QAnon, to sex panics and assaults on public health measures, to election denialism and the rise of vigilante militias. Paranoid Publics analyzes these phenomena as psychosocial realities enmeshed with emerging ways of determining truth."

"Bees, wasps, and ants all belong to the order Hymenoptera, meaning membranous wings. Most honey bees, yellowjacket wasps, and ants are social species. These insects live in societies with overlapping generations and complex visual and chemical communication systems. For example, honey bees do a “waggle dance” to communicate the distance, direction, and quality of nectar and pollen resources. Most bees, however, are solitary. They provision each egg with just enough pollen and nectar to grow to adulthood, and then fly away forever. When foraging among flowers, bees accidentally drop pollen, which pollinates the plant. Nearly 4,400 different species of bees inhabit North America, and more than 20,000 species of bees exist worldwide.
