We cannot allow this to stand anymore! We have prepared a petition calling for a boycott of the next ISPP 2026 conference in Newcastle, UK, unless the Executive Committee resigns or responds to our concerns. Please read and sign the petition here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

In other words: Turkey does not even pretend to be a democracy anymore.

After 20 months of field research, I recognise several officers who regularly show extremely aggressive behaviour. I'm sure they're also known within their own districts. That they keep getting sent to protests creates the impression that these violations are strategically deployed as a deterrent.

I read ISPP's statement early this morning and I have been thinking about it since, trying to wrap my head around the goal of this second statement and what it actually says to its readers.

if you all need a taste of how long it takes to undo fascism, the weimar republic legalized abortions, the fascists made them illegal, and we still have remnants of the fascist anti-abortion laws right now in germany, abortions are illegal but decriminalized. we still are not back at weimar.

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.

In case you're wondering why every article about this study leads with "participants doubled their weight loss!"

this is one of the worst crimes in human history and the entire global north and all of us in it share the responsibility

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency. They are out of energy and they are starving to death. I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it. 🧵

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

Yes, I always feel more hopeful and energized after attending a protest with friends.

I still remember when Kılıçdaroğlu was like:

What an achievement, Izzy! #ISPP2025

Humanitarian city". An Orwellian term. The Netanyahu government really seems to do its utmost to prove Masha Gessen had a point with her ghetto analogy.

Sevgili hocamız Aslı Aydemir, 30 Haziran günü Leman Dergisi önüne gelen saldırgan grupla yaşadığı tartışmanın ardından önce bu sabah ev baskınıyla gözaltına alındı, biraz önce ise akıl dışı bir gerekçeyle tutuklandı. Hocamızın masumiyeti açıktır, yanındayız! #AslıAydemireÖzgürlük

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

In this commentary in Nat. Rev. Psych, I reflect on the need to bring sociopolitical/historical contexts more centrally into soc. psych research on conflict. Reflections draw on tensions I've faced in my work, and critical feedback from participants, practitioners, and colleagues: rdcu.be/etk1f

Join us Sunday morning at #ISPP2025 to talk about prefiguration with @fmsmallfield.bsky.social @daclarkecruz.bsky.social @yasemingacar.bsky.social

Yes, this was a really great meeting — all the better for being small and intimate. It was a great opportunity to connect, and explore the nuances of leadership.

A lovely small conference on Crowds and Leadership at @exeter.ac.uk organized by @metesefauysal.bsky.social @swedishprotests.bsky.social, and @yasemingacar.bsky.social @alexhaslam.bsky.social's insights were brilliant! It was lovely to meet everyone, hear about their research and make new friends!

“Science has become too woke” the point of science is to literally push the boundaries of human understanding, it is naturally disruptive to the status quo???

Check out the “Future of the Media in Turkey” report, prepared as by bianet part of the #OurMedia project. The report analyzes media trends in Turkey and provides insights into freedom of expression, journalists’ rights, and the challenges they face. 🔗 bianet.org/haber/the-fu...

Reviewers, stop asking authors to have a “native English speaker” revise their manuscripts. You can ask for editorial revisions without assuming the author’s level of English. I’m unsurprised, as a native English speaker myself, to get these requests most often when I have “international” samples.

The U.S., notoriously passive and bombing another country because someone made us do it

My brain is breaking a little. The Cato Institute us saying ICE is going too far

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.
