We find that viewing climate change as a question of justice - with groups that contributed least often disproportionately affected - mobilizes people to participate in activism, whereas framing the climate crisis as a common fate affecting all of humanity equally has a demobilizing effect. (2/2)
Just out in the Journal of Environmental Psychology (Open Access): Together with Helena Radke and Nicole Tausch, we looked at the role of climate (in)justice appraisals in collective action. (1/2)
Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?"
Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸"
Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City."
Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"
amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders
Screenshot reading "It’s unclear what kind of investigation it needs to perform, given that Fulnecky’s 650-word essay is available for us to read and has all the textual depth of a discounted “He Is Risen” throw pillow at Hobby Lobby."

The man who has caused this will now be a trillionaire. 600.000 deaths, two thirds of them children.
We can disagree about policy. But we should never disagree about whether a child deserves to eat.
We literally do disagree about this, though. Some politicians want to take food from children and some politicians don't. Pretending this "isn't political" just allows the child-starving ghouls to get away with it.
Tell people who supports the *political program* to feed children and who doesn't!
I did not realize that the German press played such a central and proactive part in the Netanyahu government’s attempts to brand Palestinian journalists as terrorists.

Today, our article "The entities enabling scientific fraud at scale are large, resilient, and growing rapidly" is finally published in PNAS. I hope that it proves to be a wake-up-call for the whole scientific community.

Abrego is the *only* prisoner ever released from CECOT, so this is the sole account we have of the horrifying conditions in the prison in El Salvador where Trump has sent over 260 people from the US.
From Bluesky to the Guardian!
In my new op-Ed, I argue that the “male glaze” of media and politics is empirically, normative, and politically wrong and that progressives should focus more on the left turn of young women.
Note that the question isn’t what bathrooms should i use but will you make me a criminal for living my life as i have the last ten years
Honestly, a German police officer’s fatal shooting of a 21-year old man last weekend - shot in the back, no less - should be bigger (international) news.
