I feel like I'm writing out the ABCs here. It's all obvious, extremely well explored by a host of scholars in the wake of WWII. But US elites are intellectually crippled by American exceptionalism & so cannot accept that it just is what it looks like, same as everywhere else.

Watch: they're going to develop & execute a plan to steal the election right in front of us, in public, because they know courts won't stop them, they know Dems won't fight, and they know media will never call it what it is. At this point why would they think anything else?

The National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health made America into the world’s undisputed leader in science and technology. Nearly 70 years later, that leadership is in peril.

Right-wing justices on the Supreme Court have sanctioned racial profiling when targeting law-abiding immigrant communities. Shame on these extremists. They have zero credibility.

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage. So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

There are two famous tales from #JapaneseFolklore about magical infants being discovered in mysterious places. The first is about Momotaro (translates as peach boy) who was found by an older couple inside a giant peach. He grew up to become a hero. Read more in thread below. #MythologyMonday 1/2

An elderly couple kneel down and in front of them a baby emerges from a very large peach.
