New paper finds a ‘climate activist’s dilemma’: “study participants perceived climate activists engaging in extreme protests to be more immoral and supported movement less. However, extreme protests also heightened climate concern and intention to take action.” www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Journal of Environmental Psychology The climate activist’s dilemma: Extreme protests reduce movement support but raise climate concern and intentions Jarren L. Nylund, Michael Thai, Matthew J. Hornsey Highlights • Extreme (vs. moderate) climate protests reduce support for the activist group. • Support was reduced via immorality, low emotional connection, and identification. • Extreme (vs. moderate) climate protests increase climate concern and intentions. • Extreme tactics may boost concern but harm activist group support. • No loss of support for the broader climate movement or cause was observed. Abstract Some members of the climate movement advocate for disruptive tactics, including mass civil disobedience, in the effort to pressure governments to address anthropogenic climate change. However, prior research on the “activist's dilemma” suggests that extreme protest actions may reduce public support for a movement. The present research aimed to discover if these findings would replicate within the highly moralised context of climate change, and explore target deservingness as a potential moderator. Across two studies, with Australian psychology students (Study 1; N=178) and a politically representative sample from the United Kingdom (Study 2; N=511), participants perceived climate activists engaging in extreme (vs. moderate) protests to be more immoral, felt less emotional connection and identification with them, and supported the movement less. However, Study 2 found that extreme (vs. moderate) protests also heightened climate concern and intentions to take climate-related actions. These findings highlight a “climate activist’s dilemma”: while extreme tactics may reduce support for the activist groups who engage in such tactics, they may simultaneously raise climate concern and personal intentions to act.

My team and I at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@djpressman@bsky.social, Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) have a new piece out: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer.... In it, we show that through May 2025, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests have dwarfed those in 2017. 🧵
A line chart with a blue line showing a large growth of protest events from Jan 20 - May 31, 2025, and a green line showing the relatively modest growth of protest events during the same period in 2017.

“Harsh crackdowns may generate sympathy for protesters, said Omar Wasow, a political scientist at UC Berkeley who studies protest movements. The “spectacle of violence and repression,” he said, can frame states as ‘bullies’ unjustly squashing expression.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/w...

Much outrage fuel in this piece about AI cheating in college.

This bit got me: Columbia's Core Curriculum is the core of a liberal arts education that seeks to educate the whole person, for citizenship & to lead a life well lived. This fucking doofus 'breezed through' the opportunity of a lifetime
When he started at Columbia as a sophomore this past September, he didn’t worry much about academics or his GPA. “Most assignments in college are not relevant,” he told me. “They’re hackable by AI, and I just had no interest in doing them.” While other new students fretted over the university’s rigorous core curriculum, described by the school as “intellectually expansive” and “personally transformative,” Lee used AI to breeze through with minimal effort. When I asked him why he had gone through so much trouble to get to an Ivy League university only to off-load all of the learning to a robot, he said, “It’s the best place to meet your co-founder and your wife.”
