Paper out today in @nathumbehav.nature.com:

1) those groups (women, African Americans, lower SES, rural) that are underrepresented in science have been less trusting of science.

2) If you improve representation in science, you improve trust among those groups.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

This has been a journey! @christopherewing.bsky.social and I are proud to announce the forthcoming publication (with Palgrave) of "Reading Queer Media in the German Speaking World" bringing together the work of brilliant historians and German studies scholars working on queer 🇦🇹🇩🇪🇨🇭 printed media

Cover of "The Politics of Culture". It shows the title of the book, the author's name, and a cassette by Radio Assifa.

Everybody is talking about culture – and nobody agrees on what it means. If you want to think about why, you can check out my book published this week. “The Politics of Culture“ is about how three political movements used the concept of culture in France between the late 1960s and the early 1980s:

Protest and Pedagogy: Charlottesville's Black Freedom Struggle and the Making of the American High School A timely exploration of the long history of how Black students and teachers shaped the Black freedom struggle Protest and Pedagogy traces how, and in what ways, high school teachers and students sustained and propelled the Black freedom struggle in Charlottesville, Virginia. It centers the relationship between protest and pedagogy within classrooms and the surrounding community of Charlottesville. The story spotlights the resistance of Black teachers and students in the American high school throughout the nation during the twentieth century. Rather than act simply as passive participants in the Black freedom struggle—or outright opponents—Black high school teachers and their students, this book argues, employed a variety of organizing and protest strategies to make schools and communities more just and equitable spaces. Black teachers’ pedagogical approaches in the classroom underpinned protest within and beyond schools. At the same time, Black teacher and student organizing, activism, and protest led to pedagogical reforms in classrooms and schools. ALEXANDER D.

Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

Honored to have my research elevated by @jofhsb.bsky.social for #InternationalDayOfPersonswithDisabilities. This recognition means so much. 2025 has been an extraordinary year for impactful research in the sociology of disability. Grateful for this community. @asadisability.bsky.social

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years.

Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

New recycling tech recovers nearly pure nickel and cobalt from old EV batteries Researchers have developed an eco-friendly recycling tech that extracts 99 percent pure nickel and cobalt from waste batteries.

Reproductive justice was a revolution. Here’s why it matters in Trump 2.0. Two pioneers of the movement have some thoughts about the "ferocious backlash" we're living through.

“Racism and [homophobia] and Christian nationalism and antisemitism and ableism and Islamophobia—all of those things affect reproductive politics.”

📣 NEWS! Last week a key paper defending #glyphosate, ghostwritten by #Monsanto (now #Bayer), is retracted after undermining safety decisions for 25 years!

👉 This should lead to the EU to reconsider glyphosate's permit on the EU market.

I have a new paper out with Marty Gilens and Tali Mendelberg. Our data shows that investing in disaster prevention, rather than spending on disaster relief, is far more popular than commonly believed. Thoughts and comments welcome.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >
