Excited to share that my project on polarization and nonviolent resistance was awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant. So grateful to the many colleagues who supported the work along the way, and looking forward to the research ahead!

Nice thread here! It’s incredibly important for thinking about violence and protest tactics. What counts as violence depends on who is protesting and who is observing those protests. So, one-size-fits-all judgments about whether specific tactics “work” would definitely benefit from more skepticism.

7. Bottom line: tactics matter but so do our own biases when observing and reacting to resistance. Worth approaching coverage with skepticism and holding media accountable. www.latimes.com/california/s...

@devorahmanekin.bsky.social · last yr.

Yes, but tactics are perceived and covered through racialized lenses that frame them as threatening regardless of facts on the ground.

Consider two photos: one of an immigrant mother being separated from her child and another of a burning car. Which leads the news? Which focuses attention on the harms of mass deportations? A challenge of violent protest tactics is that they often shift attention away from the injustices they decry.

Jumping in with a favorite article, by Devorah Manekin and Tamara Mitts, which asks how ethnicity affects both the success of non-violent protests and the likelihood of observers judging a given protest as violent/non-violent. Spoilers: racialized folks can’t win. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

To be fair both of these points are correct. The question is whether the LA protests will be framed as “overwhelmingly peaceful” or “marred by violence that is a prelude to anarchy.”

Erica Chenoweth@chenoweth.bsky.social · last yr.

@djpressman.bsky.social, Soha Hammam, and I draw on our research through the Crowd Counting Consortium to show that there is far more protest happening in the US than is commonly understood, and that the shift to economic noncooperation shows powerful potential for future collective action.

Resistance is alive and well in the United States

Protests of Trump may not look like the mass marches in 2017, but they're far more numerous and frequent — and also becoming more strategic.

I cannot overemphasize how important it is for you to contact your local papers and offer to give an interview about the protest you participated in. We got three articles and counting in local papers this week because of cold calls and unsolicited letters to the editor.

Amy Westervelt@amywestervelt.bsky.social · last yr.

Seems like has been very little coverage of protests happening in the U.S.--not necessarily an intentional media blackout (although possibly), but the result of a longstanding stance in legacy media that protests aren't worth covering, activists aren't credible sources (but somehow CEOs are), etc.

A coalition of professors, diversity officers & restaurant worker advocates represented by Democracy Forward filed suit today to block Trump’s unlawful anti-DEIA actions. We'll continue using the power of the courts to challenge unlawful policies & fight to uphold decades of legal precedent. (1/3)

Diversity officers and professors sue to block Trump's DEI orders.
