Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Had my first student stop coming to class because they’re afraid of ICE raiding our campus. Thankfully, my university and my dean are supportive of our students and always put them first, especially URMs, so we are trying to find ways to accommodate WFH. ButI am heartbroken. And I am pissed.

From @aaup.bsky.social, what to do if ICE is on your campus.

3. Distribute a family preparedness plan template to your members. Example: aaup.org/ILRC-plan
4. Conduct Know Your Rights sessions for your members; these do not have to be done by an attorney.
Recommendations for Organizing on Your Campus
Engage members via a petition, open letter, high-participation meeting, in-person demonstration, or other collective action to demand that your campus administrators:
1. Not comply with ICE to detain or deport students, faculty, or staff unless legally required to do so.
2. Ensure that noncitizens understand the difference between an …

Many (many) times, when I attend a talk or review a manuscript involving a memory recognition task, this paper comes to mind. If you are designing a recognition memory task, I highly recommend giving it a read: link.springer.com/article/10.3...

Emotion affects both maintenance and processing in working memory, with negative stimuli impairing recall and increasing processing times. Results support models suggesting an attentional trade-off between these components. @giammacias
