The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.

So many mulberries! I have already made jam so today it’s gluten free cobbler. We also have lots of Serrano chilis - will have to share them with the neighbors! The garden is doing well this year.

It gets worse: “David Brouillette has a history of terrifying and violent behavior, according to those relatives. They accuse him of attacking women in his life over the years, and one shared a voicemail with the AP from last winter in which he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat

Good morning! White roses and purple roses backlit by the sun.

Not that you have any options, but please do vote, there are some amazing folks on this slate, besides me😊.

Unfortunately this type of thing is expected in the US.

ICE is quickly and repeatedly moving people from facility to facility with no warning, making it difficult for attorneys and loved ones to locate them. “Effectively, that person has just disappeared while in the custody of the U.S. government.” https://bit.ly/3SH7TOQ

Basically the Supreme Court is 5-4 on whether America is white man's country

Mmmmm…tacos! 😂 #catsky #catcanoe

"Creating a brave and safe space was really important so that we weren't just attacking what the police were doing. It had to be an environment where we were trying to uplift rather than tear down.” A conversation with Maria Ross on my book Reckoning bit.ly/4xQZwAz

A beautiful hydrangea to get the day off to a great start.

Found the vandals! 🤭🤣

Visited Filoli Gardens for Father’s Day.

This beauty from Filoli Gardens deserves its own post.

A Black man with the surname Freeman scored for the USA on Juneteenth in a home World Cup match.

Juneteenth is a time for #empathy and #imagination. How can we move forward in these times of division? The #Reckoning goes on and we continue to stand on the shoulders of those who came before us. www.linkedin.com/pulse/junete...

I guess I'll end by saying this: Jo Cox's murder was a watershed moment. British Politics today is the way it is because an MP lost her life in a white supremacist terrorist attack. And the government did nothing about it. We don't get to where we are today without that. End/

Wonderful discussion today with @prorogers.bsky.social and I was very impressed with Bishop-elect Robert Boxie. Lots to think about, but I’m left feeling more hopeful and engaged. www.youtube.com/live/PAS_Urc...

The world needs more cats. 🐈 ❤️ #Catsky #CatCanoe

It is good to see someone as respected as @edwardluce.bsky.social saying this. And it is not just young Americans who are compelled to reject the extreme American capitalism that has driven inequality and corruption in this country. www.ft.com/content/d6b1...

Diving then sunning. Dolce knows how to enjoy her #Caturday #CatCanoe

For someone who encourages empathy, this interview was particularly relevant. Steven Spielberg makes the argument I've been making in my book #Reckoning: empathy isn't feel-good rhetoric, it's a superpower that transforms how we lead and create a sense of belonging. youtu.be/LdDYbevgMTk%...

Last night in Spokane (for a few weeks)…consulting, volunteering, celebrating…even some teaching thrown in! I earned this drink tonight and sending up some prayers for friends and family no longer with us. I’ll always work to make you proud.

Here are remarks I gave at the Keeping the Republic Conference at Notre Dame. If you’ve followed me over the past decade or so, my skepticism toward the field’s fixation on polarization likely won’t come as much of a surprise. But here they are, for what they’re worth. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Seen at the Asian Art Museum in SF - This will be featured prominently in my first day of class PowerPoint!😂

From this month’s blog post - sign up for it on my website: www.terrigivens.com I have to admit that writing a post this month has been difficult. Watching Southern states pounce on the opportunity to disenfranchise Black voters has been painful.

#Catcanoe #Catsky My cat Dolce has laid claim to my husband. She used to be my cat 😂

Had to renew my CA driver’s license and get my REAL ID so I stopped by downtown San Mateo afterwards and visited the Japanese Garden, in my very comfy shoes by @fluevog.bsky.social.

An appropriate sweatshirt for today…

Happy Mother’s Day!

Being over 60, not only can I wear purple whenever I want, I can have serious outfits where everything matches 😊 outfit from Anthropologie, FreePeople and @fluevog.bsky.social shoes.

Today is a reminder that except for a brief period running roughly from Brown v. Board to Roe v. Wade, throughout its history the Supreme Court has been a reactionary force protecting the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful, almost always hostile to equality and justice.

Injustice continues…

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.
