@lolgop I agree! And apply maximum pressure to keep the camps from being built in the first place. Rachel Maddow is doing a great job covering those efforts all over the country, including in red states. The US is already detaining almost 60% as many people as the country did during WWIi. And we know the massive harm that did. #concentrationcamps #JapaneseAmericans #ice #resistance

#japaneseamericans (including #GeorgeTakai) were in camps during #WW2 because of bigotry, fear, hatred, but the ⭕ facts behind the decision to lock them up, was covered up
The US govt and Office of Naval Intelligence knew damn well the 120,000 in the US were pro USA. And the Jpn Imperial Military did NOT trust them. This evidence was put in the Burn Bag. But in 1982, 1 document was discovered😀. Listen to #BurnOrder

Victoria Namkung: tRump’s #Ice raids recall a painful past for these Americans: ‘I see myself in those children’. Survivors of previous eras of xenophobia say the harms done have lasted generations – and what’s happening now threatens to do the same.

Following the attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II, the U.S. government sent those of Japanese ancestry to internment camps in remote areas. Eighty years later, many see troubling echoes of that time. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/04/japan/wwii-japanese-americans-internment-history/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #wwii #japaneseamericans #internment #discrimination

That awkward moment.... Staring at an old, small, out of place building on Google Streetview, noting the Japanese or perhaps Chinese accents, panning back and forth and around to decide whether it looks old enough to perhaps be from 1942... and then realizing I'm looking at an abandoned Burger King. 🤦♂️
The distinguishing feature of the WCCA Civil Control Stations and Departure Sites was their ordinariness. But... not that kind of ordinary.
“It just felt very American. Great beauty and great stories. And also, great tragedy.”

"On my way to the #exhibit that #Trump says revises #history and makes the country look inaccurately #racist, I saw a painting from 1946 called “Frightful New York,” in which the female painter, #HisakoHibi, expressed how jarring it felt to reach the big city after spending three years forcibly incarcerated in an #internmentcamp along with 120,000 other innocent #JapaneseAmericans under orders from a U.S. president. That painting was made 79 years ago, so don’t tell me that we’re rewriting #racism into history, it has always been there."

More than 10,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated at Manzanar Relocation Center, Calif., during World War II. Playing and watching baseball was one of the ways these Americans tried to retain some sense of normalcy. Dan Kwong is a longtime volunteer at Manzanar, which became a national historic site in 1992 — his late mother, Momo Nagano, was incarcerated there as a teenager. Here's the story of how he built a baseball field at the site in honor of Momo, who wrote extensively about her time at the camp in order that future generations would never forget this piece of history.

The Alien Enemies Act was deployed to imprison both citizens and noncitizens during World War II. Survivors have a few things to say about Trump’s abuse of it now. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/03/26/japan/japanese-incarceration-alien-enemies-act/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #donaldtrump #wwii #japaneseamericans #internment #us #venezuela #immigration #alienenemiesact
