The sky is one place we are never far apart. 同じ空の下で。 (Onaji sora no shita de - under the same sky) #GeminidMeteorShower #Stargazing #MtHamilton #JapaneseAm #LastNight

Key characteristics of a Virtuous Citizenry #Constitution #KenBurns #AmericanRevolution - Self-Government - Independence - Moral Qualities - Education and Informing: Jefferson emphasized that an educated citizenry is essential for distinguishing right from wrong and recognizing threats to liberty.

Watching Ken Burns The American Revolution “Unlike monarchies, which rely on the authority of a ruler, or pure democracies, which may succumb to the "tyranny of the majority," a republic depends on the self-restraint and public-mindedness of its citizens to maintain liberty and prevent corruption.”

“My son! He’s the epitome of a 13 yr old, he don’t wanna work, complete lazy MF!” 😂 #PeopleTalkingOnStreets So what 13 yr old wants to work voluntarily anyway? 😝

I think Salmon Avocado roll is the perfect cycling lunchtime meal. A little rice, protein, good fat from Avocado & pickled ginger for digestion. Soy sauce for salt depletion… #Bicycling #DeepThoughtsOnBike 😂🚴🏽‍♀️

Eating my way around Santa Cruz Co! #Cycling #MovingMeditation #SushiToday #Taco #Burritos #OiOcha

Hello from Santa Cruz 🌊☀️💙 It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday. Also we had very extreme low tide. It was just the perfect temp to be walking. It was interesting the foggy conditions stayed on th other side of the hill (Silicon Valley) while this time we had the sun.

My brother is visiting and although we grew up in San Mateo county he never visited Santa Cruz. Hard to imagine folks not exploring the county next to where they grew up but so often we are busy w/work it’s nice to take the time to enjoy retirement & appreciate the richness in California. Don’t wait

Let’s not forget to visit museums, explore national and state parks, volunteer for your favorite cause or charity.

Yesterday was a sunny but windy stroll along Asilomar state beach that led us to the Inn at Spanish Bay - had a nice outdoor lunch

Stand up for the Constitution & our rights. This is not normal, pls share!

Irresponsible! Using our military to distract from the NoKings rally without regard for Californian civilian safety! What kind of administration but a kookoo for coco puff regime fires live weapons over i5 and say Gov Newsom was wrong. He has Californians’ best interest, not our fed gov, not JD.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

A message from Carl Sagan from 1995—some of his last prophetic words.

The #EPIC museum’s storytelling immediately captures emigrants’ perspective right from the start. The premise? We all come from somewhere. Each room explores different aspects of Irish emigration & we are given passports to stamp. Emotional, & poignant esp. in today’s global political enviro.

When going through U.S. immigration or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at airports or border crossings, it’s wise to assume limited digital privacy. 1. Understand Your Rights • CBP can search your device (phone, laptop) without a warrant at the border. • U.S. citizens cannot be denied entry

Same here! Everyone we meet can’t believe what is happening to the U.S. - we are calling it our “Apology Tour - We did not vote for him, I’m so sorry!!”

Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! No matter what Trump or Hegseth say, diversity *is* our greatest strength—and our AANHPI communities have proven that time and again. AANHPI stories are American stories. Always have been.

America is no longer under “Full Democracy” it was ranked “Flawed Democracy”. The U.S. has remained a “flawed democracy” since 2016, ranking 28th out of 167 nations. Over the past year, its democracy score stood unchanged, at 7.9, which puts it below countries such as Canada, Japan, & Uruguay.

Breaks my heart. This is no longer the America we all dreamed of for “a more perfect union” the phrase implies that the nation, is not perfect but is always striving towards a better state. 💔 #Threats

Malta’s golden passport scheme rejected by EU top court. Malta’s controversial golden passport scheme, allowing foreigners to purchase EU citizenship in exchange for investing upwards of €690,000, was ruled unlawful by the EU’s top court on Tuesday. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Wanda Sykes worked for the NSA and tells us how to protest (watch old protests, drink hot sauce, use a water pik & prepare to rise up your passion! B/c us people of color already been protesting, it’s white people’s turn to get out there & #protest!

Visited at the Cork City Gaol where they would put the suffragettes (like me). 😬🥴 #Ireland

Freedom of press. #Paramount youtube.com/shorts/SztAS...

Absolutely not! The Nat’l Museum of African American History should not be gutted. The Los Angeles Japanese American Museum should also not be defunded! #CulturalGenocide right in front of us, we the people must pool together and fight for all our communities. #Communities #Unite!

Comedian Josh Johnson makes a good point! 😅🥴 #Tariffs

I’m surprised 68% Republicans actually approve of his trade negotiations? Traditional trade conflict strategies generally involve building coalitions before implementing tariffs. However, Trump’s unilateral approach in this trade war has left U.S. vulnerable to retaliatory measures from partners.

This can happen to anyone in America with the current administration. This is not what America stands for. If you’re silent you are complicit.

Talented!!!

This just breaks my heart!! 💔💔💔😭 This is T’s executive order to mine for deep seabed minerals not for national security! #NOAA #DeepSea #Minerals www.noaa.gov/media-adviso...

Virginia Giuffre, prominent Jeffrey Epstein accuser, dies by suicide

Interesting! A must read

“Love On The Spectrum” season 3 was so cute & sometimes heartbreaking!💔

4.7 M patients potentially affected, this is the largest health care-related data breach of 2025 so far stocks.apple.com/A7FfRiGXYTT-... #BlueShield #Google #HealthInsurance

This effort may include pharmacy data, health care data, insurance claims, billing information, environmental data, & data extracted from sensors and wearable devices. The lack of details regarding how data will be collected and used has worried families who are rightfully concerned about privacy.

Santa Cruz wildflower walks. Perfect for this weekend 🌸🌊 #Santacruz #hikes

Hillary did what we all thought 🥴🤦🏻‍♀️

“While we celebrate this success, we recognize that our progress is threatened by the reckless tariff policies of the current federal administration,” Newsom said. “California’s economy powers the nation, and it must be protected.” #California #4thLargestEconomy 🌊💕☀️🌱

You have my business 💕

Pope Francis was a true Christian and lived his life in a Christ-like way. He did his best to heal us and encouraged compassion and love for our fellow man. Perhaps the greatest Pope in my life.

As materials cost more, overall expense repairing damage causes #HomeOwners #insurance companies to pay out more to their policyholders; they are also expected to pass on those costs to their customers in the form of higher premiums. #FL add’l premiums up $464 stocks.apple.com/AvR4TjtMkRCi...
