Je ne poste pas beaucoup ici, mais j'ai encore du mal à exprimer la rage que je sens de voir la situation au Venezuela. J'ai grandi avec les récits du 11 septembre au Chili et j'ai connu les soulèvements des années 1990-2000. J'ai juste envie de dire : Yankee go home !

True to politicians, true to journalists: accommodating the radical right is NOT the way to challenge it. It’s bad politics, bad journalism, and strategically harmful. More evidence here 👉

Do streaming platforms trap us in cultural filter bubbles? We like to think so but the evidence says otherwise. In a new paper @abelaussant.bsky.social and I find the use of streaming platform to be associated with an increase in consumption diversity. sociologicalscience.com/articles-v12...

Look this way for some great analysis on how journalists frame the far right!

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK

When @kesearles.bsky.social and I began our research we thought we would be studying experts’ experiences w/ *online* harassment. But we quickly realized that was insufficient. Now we speak of tech-facilitated harassment & hybrid forms of harassment. A 🧵 about what we found and why it matters: 1/

Hey all, here's a post at @ssrc.org about how anti-trans talking points are getting wrapped into Google's AI search results. AI search not only cites anti-trans disinfo, but sanitizes it, making practices like conversion therapy sound legitimate and safe.

La "lutte contre l'antisémitisme" justifie la remise en cause de l'autonomie des universités par Trump. Cette loi française n'est pas de bonne augure. Le risque de dérive est très importante. Et la nécessaire lutte contre l'antisémitisme va en pâtir.

The Association of Internet Researchers (@aoir.bsky.social) has released a crucial new guide on risky research—essential for anyone studying digital harms, disinfo, extremism, gender, race and sexuality, etc ... A must read as it's full of practical and actionable advice. aoir.org/wp-content/u...

"I think Black Twitter has challenged our widely accepted notions of what journalism is and can be. For me, it’s a space where we began to see the power struggles between journalists and the public in ways we hadn’t before." @meredithdclark.bsky.social (Feb) www.niemanlab.org/2025/02/ligh...

Unspeakable evil. "Twenty-four hours before she was killed, it was announced that a documentary focusing on Hassouna’s life in Gaza since the Israeli offensive began would be debuted at a French independent film festival that runs parallel to Cannes." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

@psrm.bsky.social publishes really cool stuff! This paper shows from that far-right parties get away with more explicitly anti-LGBT positions when they are normalised because moderate voters (hi centrist dads 🫡) *assume* they are less committed to these positions doi.org/10.1017/psrm...

A huge honor to get to write something with my hero @naomiaklein.bsky.social. We wish it was a happier topic, but it's an urgent one. We dove deep into the apocalyptic fervor of the far right to issue a warning about the rise of End Times Fascism. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

🚨 Talking about harassment in politics hurts your political career. Yes, even in 🇸🇪. And, yes, for both women & men. Here’s what me and @sandrahkansson.bsky.social found in our Political Behavior paper using both experimental and descriptive approaches: link.springer.com/article/10.1... 👇

Cleaning staff at my uni are on strike for better pay + conditions. I'm currently being spammed with emails from scpo alternating between blaming its outsourced cleaning contractor for everything (classic) and vituperatively accusing strikers + supportive students of violence + disruption. Shameful

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.
