Idaho families sue over immigration raid that swept up hundreds, including U.S. citizens — NBC News About 400 people, including children and U.S. citizens, were detained for four hours while they were denied food and water in the raid, according to the lawsuit.

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Ability to see calls being made on your issue and overall through the app

List of issues on the 5 Calls app to select from after providing zip code

Script provided for selected issue with phone number of senator; mark whether you made contact after calling

I recently learned about the app 5 Calls. By putting in your address and select an issue you care about, it provides you the number of your representatives and a script on an issue.

Calling is one of the best way to make our voices heard. It took me two mins to call both my senators.

I am happy to report that everyone is right and that teaching a course the second time around *is* 10x easier*

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

New in PN: Renee Good's killer can and must be prosecuted

"There’s no path to justice that runs through this administration or the federal courts. Hell, Trump will probably give the shooter a medal, and would certainly give him a pardon. But there is a path to justice that runs through Minnesota."

Thank you for reading to this point!! This is one of my favorite projects that I've ever been involved with, so I hope you'll check it out :-)

Here's a picture of my dog as a thank you <3

There were no within-/between-person effects of social interaction method (i.e., face-to-face vs. not). Yet, there was significant variability in the random slopes for method, pleasant, & uncomfortable interactions--so these characteristics don't mean the same thing for all individuals' purpose.

Having more pleasant and less uncomfortable social interactions than usual were associated with higher purpose than usual (within-person effect). However, only average social interaction pleasantness (and not discomfort) was associated with average momentary purpose (between-person).

Momentary purpose was higher when individuals were working/volunteering, being physically active, and engaging in a social interaction*. Momentary purpose was lower when individuals were engaging in social media/TV.

*Not all social interactions are created equally--context matters.

New paper in Dev Psych with @emily-willroth.bsky.social & Tammy English!

Momentary sense of purpose is higher & stabler in older adults than young adults--regardless of cognitive status. Though these fluctuations differ, what predicts them is fairly consistent.

Trans Sports Ban With Genital Inspections Gains Enough Signatures To Appear On Washington State Ballot The initiative collected 400,000 signatures, and will be one of the first major attempts to get an anti-trans law onto the ballot in a state that has dubbed itself a "refuge" for transgender people.

1. This weekend, far-right group Lets Go Washington announced that it had collected enough signatures to get a trans sports ban on the ballot in the state.

The bill includes genital inspection provisions.

It is one of the first to go forward in a blue state.

Nationwide Trans Youth Care Ban Imminent As Trump Admin Announces "Nuclear Option" Federal Rule The new federal rule formalizes previous threats to hospitals to pull Medicaid funding, and represents a significant legal stretch by this administration.

1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban.

A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide.

It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months.
