The election of Donald Trump is a dark day for reproductive healthcare, the rights of refugees and the future of our planet. As we speak, people are being slaughtered in Gaza and Lebanon. Our demands on our governments have not changed: stop enabling genocide and end all arms

Feelings don't care about your facts. This is going to be a deep dive into the role of conspiracy culture in building the Trump coalition. When needed structural change isn't on offer, conspiracies are doppelgangers/substitutes of the real thing.

I'm joining 13 of my colleagues to demand that the Trump Administration immediately releases Mahmoud Khalil. Their illegal actions set a dangerous precedent. We cannot allow them to shred our constitutional rights to free speech and due process. Free Mahmoud Khalil.

Using critical psychology and network governance, we build a distinctive critique of how education policy in the UK mobilises the psy-complex to reinscribe deficit accounts of children and young people. new paper with Tom Delahunty available now! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

I find it really problematic that folks still justify Musk’s nazi salute as an autistic behaviour. Honestly it’s the worst kind of ignorance and autisticphobia that’s been used to validate an abhorrent behaviour.

Now's also a good time to remind people and the world that autistic people and their families tend to have vastly differently goals for autism research. They aren't often interested in casual research, but rather social research which can impact quality of life and wellbeing.
