I don't put much weight into rankings but Ritsumeikan didn't even make the top 500. What's Japanese for "oh snap"? https://t.co/DOKl49SCs6

Good read from @philipbrasor "Emperor's apparent liberal leanings jar with Japan's right wing | The Japan Times http://t.co/7MnwO7EnaO"

Emperor's apparent liberal leanings jar with Japan's right wing | The Japan Times
Whereas liberals tend to be fond of the Emperor because he appeals to their own progressive leanings, genuine right-wingers have no use for the kind of open-mindedness the Emperor occasionally demonstrates.

AB 1726 is a data disaggregation bill that ensures that all AAPIs are visible. Support now: https://t.co/Jz9ibcyQgc #AllCACounts

GOVERNOR BROWN: MAKE ALL AAPI COMMUNITIES VISIBLE! #ALLCALIFORNIANSCOUNT
As AAPIs, we are made up of 48 diverse groups. When data clumps us all under “Asian,” it can overshadow the specific challenges faced by Southeast Asian American, Pacific Islander students and refugee communities.

If current economic trends continue, the average black household will need 228 years to accumulate as much wealth as their white counterparts hold today. For the average Latino family, it will take 84 years.

Powerful essay on search for the missing after a tsunami. I felt anger & frustration more than sadness. Is that bad? https://t.co/dZkNmBlSJJ

‘I Have No Choice but to Keep Looking’
Five years after the tsunami that killed tens of thousands in Japan, a husband still searches the sea for his wife, joined by a father hoping to find his daughter.
