Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

How the nyt used the Cass report to restart its anti-trans propaganda campaign in the US: Coverage of the report was initially assigned to a nyt UK correspondent, usual practice for a UK report. The story being prepared cited critics who called Cass a shoddy, political document that defied science

I am unexpectedly also teaching this paper today. More than ten years on, it is the transformative experience of my own participation in the Gezi Park protests that has made so invested in understanding this phenomenon. An emotional experience every time I come back to this piece of work.

The quiet part being said out loud, finally. More needs to be done to protect students and junior staff from people like this.

Climate knowledge has been taken hostage to prevent climate action. “It didn’t happen by accident. It’s the product of a deliberate and systematic assault on knowledge by some of the richest people on Earth. Preventing climate breakdown means protecting ourselves from the storm of lies.”

The cover has arrived! Emotionography! Emotions studied as they’re done in interaction - displayed, taken up, used. @alexahepburn.bsky.social

Hi all! I’m looking for research jobs in social psychology, environmental action, & climate policy. I study pro-environmental action, moral and identity processes, scientist advocacy, and universities’ climate responses. I use qualitative and quantitative methods for research with real-world impact.

Name a protest movement, anywhere or at any time, that has achieved its goals without being annoying and obstructive. People like this enjoy the freedoms our political ancestors gained for them, while attacking the means by which they were achieved.

This is an amazing opportunity for those seeking a PhD programme in Exeter: www.exeter.ac.uk/study/pg-res... If you’re interested in a PhD in social psychology on the following topics, feel free to contact me - Activism - Social movements - Resistance - Solidarity - Leadership - Intergroup conflict

"We cannot prevent all of the harm that ICE will do in our communities, but we can make their work harder, and we can make our values, our presence, and our solidarity known. We can make our neighborhoods and our relationships stronger, as we forge bonds in opposition to this violence."

The guy on the left is why you can't get your qualitative paper published in JPSP.

I am hoping to recruit a Ph.D. student to join the SPARC (Social Psychology of Activism, Resistance, & Change) Lab at @UVAPsyc in Fall 2026! You can find more info about my research on my website (ericshuman.com), and the program here (psychology.as.virginia.edu/social-psych...).

Call for Nominations! The ISPP is seeking nominations for several leadership roles, including President-Elect, Vice President for Communications and Publications, and five members of the Governing Council (serving July 2026–July 2029).

🚨 We have a cool new ESRC PhD studentship opportunity on the topic of political persuasion for someone interested in campaigning, field experiments and/or computational methods @lsegovernment.bsky.social, in collaboration with @campaign-lab.bsky.social. All info 👇 www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse...

Can art can help keep the spirit of protests alive? In my latest article for @hyperallergic.com, I spoke with artist and academic Işıl Eğrikavuk, author of a timely book on how participatory art practices can be used to build connections and foster social dialogue in restrictive political climates.
