📢 New paper w @mfroman.bsky.social and Ben Newman: Why do some conservative White Americans support abortion? It's not gender or religion. They want to slow the growth of disliked out-groups. bit.ly/4mFYYXd

If you live in California, take 5 minutes out of your day to leave a message with the Governor's Office. Tell @gavinnewsom.bsky.social that California needs to fight homelessness, stop our state's population decline and arrest climate change caused by super-commuters. All he has to do is sign SB 79.

Brian Hanlon @hanlon.bsky.social · 7d

Please call the Governor and ask him to sign SB 79!

During the "Race, Racial Appeals, and Ballot Access" panel I'll be presenting the results of a survey experiment of white & Latino partisans 🐘🫏

I test whether ⬆️/⬇️ racial status threat among voters leads to changes in affective partisan polarization 💢

Come hear more @ 12!

A new study by @alexanderfurnas.com, Timothy LaPira, &
@dashunwang.bsky.social shows U.S. policymakers increasingly cite science, but Democrats are nearly twice as likely as Republicans to do so, and the two parties rarely cite the same research. news.northwestern.edu/stories/2025...
