Emphasizing similarities or differences: framing effects in LGBTQ movement mobilization Marginalized groups face major challenges in mobilizing the public, including how to frame their own identities. Should groups emphasize how similar they are to the dominant majority? Or can they f...

Happy to be in Ohlao Portugal! A peaceful and democratic place. My biggest worry today..except for all that...was what fish will I have for dinner. That is no a bad problem.

Can't wait!

do you have a date on publication? this looks like a great and timely read.

CNN interview with Stephen Miller is painful. He simply runs roughshod over the Pamela Brown every time. When he goes on a tangent rant she needs to firmly state the interview is over. Instead she and her producers are giving him airtime to spew hate and lies. Mainstream media must do better.

hmmm...seems amazon is ahead of the game on tarriffs. Yesterday, Amazon 32 oz Palmetto Farms Grits was $13.49. Bought the same item this morning at the Lowes Grocery store in Greer, SC for $5.49. Seems like Bezos and the like are looking to make even more money off the tarriff fiasco.

Blue states should pass laws requiring that tariffs are itemized and clearly shown in purchase receipts, by the way.

Let people know how much they’re paying extra thanks to Donald Trump and the Republican Congress.

Can someone in this administration make up their minds? The tariff chaos is whiplash-inducing—shifting messages from Trump, mixed signals from advisors, and a market swinging like a pendulum have investors, small business owners, and the public on edge. The market should be FUN tomorrow!

Dollars and nonsense: House Republicans vote to defund D.C. police and schools Congress could force D.C. to cut $1.1 billion out of its local budget, but no one really understands why.

NEW in @51st.news: House Republicans just voted to defund D.C. police and schools. As part of a spending bill to avert a federal government shutdown, they could force D.C. to slash $1.1 billion out of its budget, and no one understands really why. 51st.news/house-republ...

The damage being done to American science, particularly in the area of medical research will cost countless lives and take decades to repair. This is truly a catastrophe.

I was right

And my flight to Rome tomorrow cost $32 euros. Just sayin...

Spent 5 days in munich. 10 eggs cost 2.50 euros. Loaf of.wheat bread cost less than 2 euros. A beer...good beer cost less 2 euros. i could go on and on. Hmmm. I saved money on my vacation.

Canada...I apologize. Ukraine...I apologize. Greenland...I apologize. Panama...I apologize. Mexico...I apologize. I'm sure there will be others. But note, I did note vote for this.

Thank you! I can't wait to see what your next project will involve! The Reidout will be missed.

Further, in order to probate an estate you have to contact the IRS to establish a new taxpayer ID. This serves as the second confirmation the death. Again Musk is lying about the IRS paying 1000s of dead people.

As someone who served as the executor of 2 estates (my parents) in the last couple of years, I can 100% confirm the IRS is notified by the licensed funeral home of the death. Musk is flat lying about the IRS paying dead people.

Excellent article! Congrats!

I know it is still a way out from MPSA, but I wanted to make sure as many people see this as possible. On Friday, April 4, at 11:40 a.m., there will be an In Memoriam panel for Scott McClurg. A lot of folks knew and loved Scott and this is an opportunity for us to celebrate his life and career.

📢 Clealand & Gutierrez find that racial identity & skin color shape group closeness. Trigueño & medium-skin-toned Puerto Ricans feel closer to Latinos, while Black-identifying & darker-skinned Latinos report more linked fate with Black people.

So here’s actual valid information, from the Congressional Research Service, on how Social Security rigorously tracks deaths to ensure that they’re not issuing payments to deceased beneficiaries. crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/...

This is the way.

Neo-Nazis appeared in Lincoln Heights (metro Cincinnati) Ohio and got ran out of dodge… but not before locals stole and burned their swastika flag in the street.

I feel so, so sorry for my colleagues in the US. How can someone destroy the decades-long lighthouse of science in less than 2 weeks? The US used to be the place to go to do great science and/or learn state-of-the-art medicine. It's just pure madness.
