@sladesr Humans make a lot of mistakes when they drive cars and trucks. I would be willing to give AI a shot at it.

I was very happy to be quoted today in The Atlantic in this excellent article by @galbeckerman: "Why It’s So Hard to Protest Trump 2.0." #50501Protest #protest

I am very happy that the journal American Behavioral Scientist has accepted my article for publication, which is titled "Nuclear Weapons, Protest, and American Political Parties,1944-2020." Key takeaways in comments. #nuclearweapons #protest #parties

@charliersmith1 You're both very cute. Nice photo.

Takeaway #3: If the anti-nuclear movement has an ally between the two major parties, it is the Democrats, though they are an unreliable ally. It is wise for advocates to keep constant pressure on the Democrats to keep them attentive to an anti-nuclear posture.

[Michael T. Heaney @michaeltheaney]

Takeaway #2: The evidence at hand suggests that Republicans are not likely to change in desired ways as a result of anti-nuclear protests. Yet it is not wise for advocates to completely neglect targeting their advocacy toward the Republicans.

I now have emotional comparisons for anger, anxiety, & enthusiasm between #StandUpForScience2025 & the #MarchforScience (2017), based on surveys of participants at Washington, DC events. Anger and anxiety have increased, while enthusiasm has declined. #StandUpForScience
