Trump is using the same blatantly racist playbook as used to illegally imprison Japanese American US citizens in WWII.

Robert Reich explains.

Just finished the Rachel Maddow presents: Burn Order podcast. If you haven’t listened to it yet, I promise you’ll learn something about history, you’ll see current parallels, and you’ll be inspired to act. (And Canadians…we share this shameful history too.)

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.

Saw this while touring San Juan Capistrano today and thought of you because my wife and I saw Allegiance and it left an impression we won't forget.

The Ito family was interned at Manzanar.

Today in Labor History May 2, 1945: The Nisei 522nd Field Artillery Battalion halted a death march from Dachau to Austria. As a result, the Japanese-American fighting unit saved hundreds of lives. Yet, even while they fought fascists in Europe, many had families in concentration camps within the U.S.

Peter Hartlaub, Nami Sumida, John Blanchard, Lea Suzuki and Stephanie Zhu: Mass incarceration devastated S.F. Japantown. For the first time, we know how much

"The exile of Japantown is one of the most transformational, and shameful, moments in San Francisco’s history. And it’s a story that’s hard to visualize today, in part because the city’s remaining stakeholders, including the Chronicle, did little at the time to recognize its magnitude.

Yet much of the story can now be reconstructed — through newspaper archives, recently uncovered research, the stories of the expelled citizens themselves and, crucially, the U.S. census. Under the “72-Year Rule,” the National Archives make detailed census records public 72 years after Census Day. The 1950 records were released in April 2022."

Mayor Bruce Harrell has helped shape Seattle for more than a decade. Before that, he was shaped by his family's history in Seattle, which includes the WWII incarnation of Japanese-Americans, small business, biracial challenges, and flowers.

I have a recurring annual calendar appointment for March 16. Today is the 102nd anniversary of Comox-Alberni MP A.W. Neill's first speech in his 21 year career in the House of Commons (1921-45) where he called for a "white British Columbia”.

Neill was a white supremacist, anti-Asian racist, and one of the loudest voices for Japanese Internment. He was also an Indian Agent dealing with First Nations and Residential Schools on Vancouver Island's West Coast.

In 2021 his name was removed from a local school but he remains honoured with a street name.

I will continue reminding people of this until that honour is removed.

(A full report about him starts on page 82 of the City of Port Alberni Agenda from January 23, 2017)

Kishi Bashi’s record “Music from the Song Film: Omoiyari” was on my best of 2023 list. It’s truly a gem. The film, “Omoiyari,” tells a story about being a minority in America. Specifically focusing on Japanese internment during WWII.
