Chasing cherry blossoms in the sunset…and the moon.

really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.

SOUTHCOM attacked another boat in the Pacific Ocean. Two civilians were killed. One was rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Bertholf and transferred to the Costa Rican Coast Guard. theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

Oh good, you're awake. Welcome to America, the year is 2026 and we're setting oil on fire until gas gets cheaper

Leigh is right all Republicans do is lie. Senate Democrats have tried 5 times to pass a stand-alone bill to fund TSA, FEMA, CISA and the Coast Guard, Republicans have blocked every single one. ICE is a rogue agency that needs to be reined in and until then #FundDHSFreezeICE

And you can come to see me in conversation with him at the Chan Centre on the UBC campus. @writersfest.bc.ca writersfest.bc.ca/event/ibram-...

We’re thrilled to welcome Ibram X. Kendi @ibramxk.bsky.social, author of the international bestseller How to Be an Antiracist, to a Vancouver Writers Fest Special Event with his latest work, Chain of Ideas. April 13, in conversation with @profterrig.bsky.social writersfest.bc.ca/event/ibram-...

So cool to see my book display at @auntiesbooks.bsky.social in my hometown, Spokane, WA. Happy St Patrick’s Day!

Hey all, particularly Black women in #HigherEd! My latest blog is up and I’m relaunching my coaching practice. I will be dropping some wisdom from my years as a professor, vice provost, provost, dream, advisor, mentor and entrepreneur. Check it out! www.terrigivens.com/blog/

After all these years, I finally won a teaching award! For my dedication to accessibility and Universal Design for Learning 😊 I can thank my students and my son, who has ADHD for helping me to be a better advocate for accessibility ❤️

Had a great visit to L’Oreal Canada’s headquarters in Montreal as part of my #Reckoning book tour. @policypress.bsky.social www.instagram.com/p/DVMqyhZDqu...

“The bombardment of Iran on Saturday was the ninth time he had ordered the military into action in his second term, even as he has decapitated the government of Venezuela and threatened to overthrow Cuba’s dictator.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.

#BlackHistoryMonth at UBC Political Science ended with an amazing set of talks by Keidrick Roy from Dartmouth University and Brie McLemore from University of Washington. Now I need a few days to rest!

Happening tomorrow 2/25

Au revoir Montréal! Wonderful visit with friends and colleagues, thanks to those who were able to take time to connect.

Il fait froid! J’adore les murales de Montréal. The plateau is a unique neighborhood

Bonjour Montréal!

And another new friend. #catcanoe

Making a new friend 😊 #catcanoe

Hey folks in Montreal, join me on Friday! www.fluevog.com/flueblog/ter...

We came in with a full proposal, fully prepared to bargain, and they started off with a presentation of telling us how bad we were doing,” said UAW Local 2359 president and plant worker Robert Hines. “To go publicly on CNBC to support the Trump administration’s positive views …..

Reunited and it feels so good! #catcanoe

Happy Valentine’s Day from me and Dolce!

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Since @jschrinerbriggs.bsky.social doesn't get into Birthright Citizenship, here's a draft I have for the updated edition of mine and @profterrig.bsky.social immigration text. Thought I had already posted it but whoops, nope. rachelnavarre.com/2026/02/07/a...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

#BlackHistoryMonth - about the first Black doll I ever owned. I loved Barbie, but Mattel didn't produce a Black Barbie until 1980. Diahann Carroll played a nurse in the show Julia, another first. The doll that was made from that show was an important representation for so many young girls like me.

My generation grew up with a show that helped us see a beautiful image of our country…that’s why our hearts are breaking now. 💔

For #BlackHistoryMonth I will be focusing on people who have had an impact on my life, both those who have passed and those who are still very much with us. To start, I want to honor my parents. Although my dad was the one who enlisted in the Air Force, my mom served, too.

Good to see that many Dem elected officials now want to be seen getting involved in the cases of immigrants who have been wrongly detained by ICE. Let's spare a word for @vanhollen.senate.gov, who did this for Kilmar Abrego Garcia back when wise pundits said this was politically dangerous.

The guy on the right is New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, photographed at the Kennedy Center premiere of “Melania.” #GoSeahawks!

I'm skimming through mentions of Trump in the Trump-Epstein Files, and there's one thing that I'm thinking over and over: All we had to do was believe the women. There are dozens of stories in here that make me ill. Do you really believe these are all lies?

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

How did we get here? www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-di...

Yup.

When we talk about people murdered by ICE, we shouldn't forget Keith Porter, a black man who was shot by ICE on new years eve

Minnesota is the best of us.

Go Hawks!

Positively shocked that the house magazine of the Manhattan Institute is upset that my book refuses to attribute America's record-high homelessness to "personal choices"—rather than, say, rents outpacing income gains by 325 percent since 1985.

California dreamin’

To all those who told me my grad school research would some day be irrelevant... 1986 - First encounter with the radical right as the Front National enters the French Assembly the same month I start my study abroad program.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature? FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

Taking about how to calm your nervous system…this is a constant in the lives of way too many of us and we have coping mechanisms but we also have high blood pressure, heart disease and trauma that has been passed down from our ancestors who lived through even worse times. Find peace where you can

Just felt like posting this today…no particular reason.

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.
