My latest newsletter is out! Check out my latest book, and remember that #Empathy is a great gift for the holidays. My next event is with Bryan Alexander's Future Trends Forum on December 11th! lnkd.in/e79HD26Z

Empathy is the perfect holiday gift

You may have heard that empathy is under attack. Apparently some folks think that understanding the feelings of others is bad for us.

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.

“There Is No Place for Us”: A Sympathetic, but Skewed, Portrait of the Working Homeless

Brian Goldstone’s new book downplays the role of personal choices.

2005 - my first book, Voting Radical Right in Western Europe, is published, more people are paying attention, but the far right is still considered a "flash in the pan"

1999 - Far Right Freedom party takes second place in Austrian Parliamentary election - becomes the focal point of concern but many people are telling me that my dissertation will be irrelevent since the far right are just a "flash in the pan"

1992 - Read about the rise of the German Republikaner and decide to write about it for my grad school applications - I get admitted to UCLA
1995-1998 Spent time in France, Germany, and Austria learning about immigration issues and rise of radical right

Terri E. Givens @profterrig.bsky.social · 4d

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.

I’ve played around with it a bit, mainly Notebook LM, and it definitely takes up my time, particularly since you have to be careful about finding all the errors it makes, I haven’t found a way to use it that is helpful or saves me any time.

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.

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.

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

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.

The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges.
Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists.

Prosecute Renée Nicole Good’s Murderer

The ICE agent who killed Renée Nicole Good not only can be held accountable for murder—he must be.

Nothing wrong with showing some empathy ❤️

Matthew Borus @matthewborus.bsky.social · 17d

Jumaane Williams choked up as he told little Black boys they deserve to be loved.

Zohran spoke of a constituent who said the campaign had made room for softness in people’s hearts.

Three generations sang “Over the Rainbow” and “Bread and Roses.”

Another politics is possible—and it’s here. ❤️

The first video I saw on MTV was very appropriately New Year’s Day, by U2.

They aren’t learning from what is happening in the UK, either. Starmer is setting things up for a big Labor loss.

“We may hold different identities and experiences and are unsure where to start because of these differences. We may feel like we do not have the power or capacity to contribute to change. There is a place to start and that is Radical Empathy.”
