@uscensusbureau 2010–2020 census data show that, among the top 1,000 surnames by total frequency, the fastest‑growing are predominantly Asian and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, mirroring broader U.S. trends as these populations grew faster than the nation overall.

日本で自転車に乗っているだけで罰金とられるケースが本格化しています。具体的に何をしたらダメなのか。啓蒙するような映像と曲をつくりました。みなさまお気をつけください。敬礼。

鉱脈：警察官諸君、我々はあくまで国民の安全を担保するために、取り締まるのである。変な引け目は不要、敬礼しておけば格好はつくのである。

When people use AI for writing assistance, it can shift their political attitudes by autocompleting sentences in biased ways.

Yet people are often unaware of the AI bias and it's influence on them.

And this is not merely about the facts presented, since attitudes changed less when the information was presented as static text.

This could pose a real problem if AI chatbots are socially and political biased: https://t.co/MJ7tj8l5aq

On AANHPI Women’s Equal Pay Day, we reflect on the persistent wage gap that continues to impact our communities. For every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men, AANHPI women earn just 83 cents.

That’s why I’ll continue the fight for AANHPI women to be recognized, respected, and paid fairly for the work they do. #AANHPIEqualPay

“Please do not rely on the US government for assisted departure or evacuation…”

That’s the message you get when you dial the State Department’s emergency number that Marco Rubio urged Americans stuck in the Middle East to call today - 202-501-4444

Symbolic ideology and education, 1972-2024.

Ideological polarization increasingly interacts with education.

Data from @electionstudies CDF.

Republicans did not lose the TX SD-9 runoff because of low GOP turnout: they lost because almost all of the independents and some of the Republicans voted Dem.

Of those who voted in the TX SD-9 runoff, 50%+ were GOP primary voters or at GOP HH; only 35% were Dems or at Dem HH

The American Revolution is one of the most important events in human history. We went from being subjects to citizens, and set in motion democratic revolutions around the globe. It’s a great story – and hugely relevant to today. I hope you can watch. #AmericanRevolutionPBS

女性初の首相になる公算大の高市早苗氏。経歴詐称や印象操作とも言われた、あの「元米連邦議会立法調査官」という肩書は一体何だったのか？自分を盛りつつ「安倍首相の後継者」「日本のサッチャー」と呼ばれるまでになった高市氏流の立身出世策の源流がそこに。書きました。

テキサス州下院議員ジェームズ・タラリコ。神学校も卒業しキリスト教徒の立場から政教分離を唱えキリスト教を押し進めるテキサス州共和党を批判。来年の上院選に出馬との噂も。将来大物になるかも。

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

The national Democratic Party has forgotten how to fight.

But in this critical moment, we need fighters — not folders.

We need a Democratic Party that’s a little less Washington and a little more Texas.
