So harmful, and for what purpose?

there's this assumption by the admin that there is an infinite supply of buff KKK members ready to fill the ranks of the military and ICE and I have bad news for them both about the overall number of KKK members and their general fitness level

The President of Dartmouth- a social psychologist who studied implicit biases towards women- is pushing Dartmouth to be 'apolitical.' This highlights the divide between experimental and applied psychologists, imo- applied ppl blend research w/action.

I keep thinking of all the students I've mentored who went into the federal workforce. 😢

Ego maintenance. Social downward comparison.

Social identity theory strikes again. We will be using evidence of this time in our classrooms 15 years from now.

It doesn't matter whether or not you watch Jimmy Kimmel- anyone who cares about our first amendment rights needs to speak up right now.

‘Fear and hopelessness’: study finds one in four professors consider leaving US south Survey by American Association of Professors shows nearly quarter of respondents are switching due to states’s politics

Ok but did he need to dig on sociology at the end? That poor field has been through enough. 😅

Linda McMahon Says Higher Ed Faces ‘A Crisis of Leadership.’ Here’s What College Presidents Think. Three responses to the education secretary’s recent speech.

It bothers that discussions of leadership focus on those at the top, in titled roles. Titled leadership is appointed as they maintain status quo, which is why higher ed is folding- they can't meet the moment. Often, it's faculty who are the unsung campus leaders. www.chronicle.com/article/a-cr...

The fact grocery prices continue to rise despite Trump signing an EO months ago requiring they be lowered should tell you everything you need to know about the EOs. Most are just little more than press releases to give this administration control over the narrative.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Excellent speech!

That's a wonderful attempt to sidestep the central point of my response.

Excellent - we are discussing misinformation in class in a couple of weeks and I'm excited to show them this research!

Redefining who counts as American creates a tidy loophole...

There was a bill introduced to allow rescinding of passports for people who spoke out against Israel but it's been pulled.

Free speech requires freedom from governmental intimidation. This comment reminds me of school yard bullies putting their fingers 2 cm from your face and then trying to argue they can't get in trouble for bullying because "I'm not even touching you."

One of the more surprising things about this moment is how spineless our "leadership" is. Congress, sure, but also...

-university admins
-CEOs
-legacy media
-law firms

Obligatory "not all." But way too many people are willing to trade our rights for their self-interest.

We won't forget.
