This is one of four excellent articles intended for use in the classroom. The others in that special issue focus on decolonial, phenomenological, and critical participatory action research. They are student-friendly and historically embedded descriptions that make clear how to do each one well!

I continue to be horrified that he acts with overt cruelty, impunity, and immaturity and that we struggle to stand up to him in the moment or to hold him accountable after. Where is the video of this moment? Why isn't it everywhere?
I'm not surprised that Trump said "Quiet, Piggy" when an unnamed woman in the White House Press Corp asked him if there's anything incriminating in the Epstein files, and my lack of surprise is because he's a misogynistic dickwad.

But...

We publish so many phenomenal articles in Qualitative Psychology, but this is one that really touched my heart... It is scholarship-activism in action and I wanted to post it today when so many people have acted to reject anti-trans legislation. It affirms this caring.

Finally some good news!
1. On Tuesday Night, Democrats won elections nationwide in a stunning rebuke of anti-transgender politics.

From Virginia to New Jersey to New York and beyond, anti-trans candidates fell left and right after spending tons of time and money campaigning on hate.

When the government moves to punish those who say things that are offensive to the feelings of the government, that is a crystal clear violation of First Amendment protections. Anyone who tries to tell you otherwise is asking you to give up your own First Amendment protections.

Trump is launching a full blown attack on free speech while his harem of billionaires buys up every media platform. This is no coincidence. It’s a coordinated attack on your fundamental right to speak freely without worrying if you’ll lose your job or worse.

The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like.

And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie

1. Earlier this year, Trump erased transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument webpage, digitally burning the history we helped create.

Now, he's doing the same to bisexual people.

No marginalized group will be safe from the admin's moving targets.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Thank you to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for pointing out that we make money on our public lands every single year. Why would we sell them when they are a reliable form of income?

BREAKING: A federal judge says the termination of NIH grants for research on diversity-related topics by President Trump's administration was “void and illegal,” and accused the government of discriminating against racial minorities and LGBT people.
Judge deems Trump's cuts to National Institutes of Health illegal
U.S. District Judge William Young said the NIH violated federal law by arbitrarily canceling more than $1 billion in research grants because of their perceived connection to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
