This is one of four excellent articles intended for use in the classroom. The others in that special issue focus on decolonial, phenomenological, and critical participatory action research. They are student-friendly and historically embedded descriptions that make clear how to do each one well!

I continue to be horrified that he acts with overt cruelty, impunity, and immaturity and that we struggle to stand up to him in the moment or to hold him accountable after. Where is the video of this moment? Why isn't it everywhere?

So well said...

We publish so many phenomenal articles in Qualitative Psychology, but this is one that really touched my heart... It is scholarship-activism in action and I wanted to post it today when so many people have acted to reject anti-trans legislation. It affirms this caring.

Finally some good news!

Trump is launching a full blown attack on free speech while his harem of billionaires buys up every media platform. This is no coincidence. It’s a coordinated attack on your fundamental right to speak freely without worrying if you’ll lose your job or worse.

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like. And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie

1. Earlier this year, Trump erased transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument webpage, digitally burning the history we helped create. Now, he's doing the same to bisexual people. No marginalized group will be safe from the admin's moving targets. Subscribe to support our journalism.

BREAKING: A federal judge says the termination of NIH grants for research on diversity-related topics by President Trump's administration was “void and illegal,” and accused the government of discriminating against racial minorities and LGBT people.

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

DISTRACTION! www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Desperately trying to get someone to notice this story from today’s Guardian.We have opened our doors to Russian hackers and US media not reporting it. I can hardly breathe. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired. This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all. Subscribe to support my journalism.

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism. Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records. This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity. Subscribe to support my journalism.

I'd almost feel bad for the Trump voters who are affected by this—but we warned you so clearly and consistently that I won't lose any sleep over it.

Useful analysis from @chrischirp.bsky.social I am going to join @aphapublichealth.bsky.social today - one of the few scientific orgs that is being active and doing effective advocacy for science

$1 billion… Just refusing to fund federal health research and pocketing away the designated money for their own slush funds Sucking $1 billion out of the economy, diverting it from health research… For what?

This is going to be an extremely important case. Right now orgs ranging from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to AIDS/HIV advocacy, colleges, crisis centers, and more are being told to pretend trans people don't exist or lose your funding... and many are choosing to pretend!
