When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Some words go together like jelly and peanut butter… wait, that sounds super weird.

A pair of words that is used in a fixed order in an idiomatic expression is called an β€˜irreversible binomial.’

β€˜Peanut butter and jelly’ is an example of an irreversible binomial.

Today’s basic science is tomorrow’s game-changing invention. Trump’s cuts threaten both. - The Boston Globe Thirty years is often how long science takes to mature from a cool discovery to something that is life-changing. But researchers worry those discoveries are about to come to a screeching halt.

One might assume that this was unintentional and the goal was NOT to defund this type of science, but that’s exactly what is happening.

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve comeβ€”and how much further we still have to go.

It marks the moment freedom finally reached our people right here in Texas. Our people took what was withheld and built something powerful: resilience, pride, and a legacy we carry to this day. (1/2)
