Trust, But Verify: How (In)consistent Allyship Shapes Disadvantaged Group Members’ Perceptions - Patricia Ciordas, Charlotte E. Moser, Shaun Wiley, Anna Kende, Yasin Koc, 2026 Advantaged group members can play a significant role in advocating for social change on behalf of disadvantaged groups. Drawing on Kelley’s covariation model an...

Advantaged group protestors can play an important role in social change, but what happens when their numbers dwindle or their participation is sporadic? We find that inconsistent participation raises doubts about protestors’ motives and trustworthiness.

Many are appropriately outraged by Altman’s comments here implying that raising a human child is akin to “training” an AI model.

This is part of a broader pattern where AI industry leaders use language that collapses the boundary between human and machine.

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE.

And this is what they called it.

In a time where so many of us need to see this modeled more than ever, Alysa's mindset of joy over all else and refusing to use shame to motivate herself has been so inspiring to watch.

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

Many fabulous chapters in this book! Check out our chapter on Creating Allies between Advantaged and Disadvantaged Groups, with Nyla Branscombe and led by @charlottemoser.bsky.social

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

What an incredible image.

The whole interview is worth it

Showing cross-racial solidarity is a potential death sentence. There are few things white supremacists hate more.

At a deep theoretical level, Stephen Miller and JD Vance think their view that immigrants threaten social solidarity is widely shared. But what's now happening is MAGA is driving native-born Americans to show solidarity with immigrants. Now Miller is trying to break that up w/coercion and violence.

The mirage of AI deregulation One of the most interventionist approaches to technology governance in the United States in a generation has cloaked itself in the language of deregulation. In early December 2025, President Donald Tr...

🧵 Trump administration AI policy is widely described as deregulatory. This description is misleading. What's happening is not the absence of governance but its rearrangement--intensive state intervention operating through mechanisms we don't typically call regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Incredible that he did this.

Terrifying that he felt the need to.

There are only three possible outcomes for undocumented immigrants in this country: mass deportation, amnesty, or legal limbo (i.e., status quo for last 40 years). The first causes violence in communities and harassment of citizens. The third quietly ruins people's lives, as opportunities pass them.

The best time to abolish ICE was 2003, but the next best time is right now.

ICE has been terrorizing peaceful communities for months, routinely escalating situations and making people feel unsafe in their neighborhoods.

And now a woman is dead.

DHS has been reckless in their hiring, training, & execution. Sec Noem should resign & apologize to those harmed by her actions.

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

This is a good one.

🤩 I’m going to beg you to come give a talk as soon as you’re settled in. What a happy new year!

Congrats! Can’t wait to read the good news!

“Tenure density” is such a cursed euphemism. Departments that tenure most of their faculty are successful departments.
