Thanks to @anncurry.bsky.social for highlighting the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, which has received far too little attention 🙏🏻 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/14/o...

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

New paper published in European Societies. "Results showed dramatic levels of ethnic discrimination: a Roma person would need to contact nine landlords to secure a viewing whereas a non-Roma person only two.”with @lindatropp.bsky.social @lioramorhayim.bsky.social direct.mit.edu/euso/article...

as @maddow.bsky.social notes, there are *so* many reasons to show up to a No Kings protest tomorrow... doesn't matter where or why, just do it! (and be sure to register, to help organizers and data analysts track crowd size 🤓) youtube.com/shorts/B8dsN...

We’re going to make history next weekend and welcome so many new people into organizing against the regime. #NoKings

Should we spend $22 BILLION on another illegal war in the Middle East—or on building 100,000 affordable housing units in America? Trump chose an illegal war. What would you choose?

Trump has already spent more in 9 days on his war with Iran than the USDA spends in an entire year on giving breakfasts to kids in school. So much for America First.

We could really use your help to make No Kings Day as big and powerful as possible. Your support will power the thousands of massive and peaceful events planned across the US and the world. Please pitch in if you can to make March 28 a day of nonviolent protest that will echo across the planet.

The world is watching Trump turn our nation into a rogue state as he threatens our allies, abandons the vulnerable and unleashes chaos that impacts their families directly and indirectly. Iranian civilians went from a brave struggle against their own tyrannical government to fleeing bombs from ours.

If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.

It’s time to reveal the billionaire donors flooding American elections with potent dark money. I’m introducing the DISCLOSE Act with Senator Whitehouse and Rep. Pappas to make our money-drenched elections more transparent for all citizens.

From the abstract: "We find clear and consistent evidence that whites who receive their political news from Fox News are significantly more likely to support core tenets of the GRT [Great Replacement Theory] than those who do not." led by: @jesserhodesumass.bsky.social available: cup.org/4d01aYr

There are nearly 2,000 events on the No Kings Day map in all 50 states (and 10 countries). March 28 will be the largest protest in American history. Find your local event or plan a protest in your area: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

one after another in my feed, this is what cross-party solidarity can look like🙏🏻 @warnock.senate.gov @lincolnproject.us

Warnock: "We heard tonight the rumblings of a desperate man who's trying to present case he can for the midterms. It was half lies, half grievances. He knows he is quickly losing power."

I’ve gone to every State of the Union since I was elected to Congress—including during Trump’s first term. I’d rather stick needles in my eyes than listen to his manifesto of mistruths.

Concerned about ICE's $45 billion plan to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers? This is what they'll look like inside. From ICE's plan for the Social Circle, GA facility. Each little dot: a person. www.socialcirclega.gov/home/showpub...

check out this hugely important and informative thread about protest activities across the US by @chenoweth.bsky.social and colleagues

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

This is a pogrom

Americans face a fusion of public power and private wealth to a degree not seen in the past century, if ever. Our latest report outlines nine solutions to combat corruption. Far-reaching reforms are long-overdue. bit.ly/4r62EnZ

@drzilwhite.bsky.social @ericdknowles.bsky.social you (and @pbump.com) might also be interested in a new paper recently accepted for publication, showing that greater consumption of Fox news corresponds with stronger endorsement of "great replacement theory" beliefs (can email if interested)

We’re hosting a national rapid response call tomorrow night to go over concrete next steps. Please circulate - we need a national response. More details to come. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

@michellegoldberg.bsky.social pretty much sums up my views on AI: as with the emergence of many new technologies lauded as transformational for humankind, once released, they are no longer values-driven and become money-driven mechanisms targeting and reinforcing humankind's most base instincts

He is turning everything he touches into one of his tacky casinos—at taxpayer expense—while the American people can’t afford rent, healthcare, or groceries. Utterly insane.

"social science has to answer questions that people beyond academia care about..academia can['t] just be self-referential as it grows infinitely. I think there are challenges to understand what’s going on in the United States and the world and to talk about it to broad audiences in plain language.."

“Action absorbs anxiety!” indeed!

Study after study shows campaign ads barely move the needle. So where does money’s real power come from? I ranked the five ways money corrupts politics—from least to most corrosive. What I’ve learned from 15 years of tracking political money:

How quickly we forget the BS excuses Republicans make up for military invasions. Does anyone remember weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?!?! It’s almost always about oil. Another GOP president wants to use U.S. soldiers as pawns for big oil in his sick pursuit for money & power.

They line up perfectly.

“If you’ve always had power, equity feels like a threat.” "Change feels threatening, not because anything is being 'taken,' but because the ground is finally shifting toward balance." @rabbisandra.bsky.social

this whole thread.

in case anyone in the U.S. is still wondering...

knowing many directly affected, I personally asked some senior male colleagues to speak out about this during my earlier years as a professor, as i felt too vulnerable due to my stage of career.. it was shocking how much this was 'common knowledge' among women and how few male colleagues knew 😔

"We are all balls of reason and emotion. To render either automatically suspect, or to embrace either unconditionally, is to diminish part of our humanity and undermine our capacity for virtue. In fact, they are so linked together that it’s impossible to truly separate them in our minds or hearts."
