John Dewey had it right:
“What the best and wisest parent wants for his child, that must we want for all the children of the community. Anything less is unlovely, and left unchecked, destroys our democracy.”

“Don’t shoot out my window,” she pleads. “I’m getting out.”

ICE thugs shattered the glass anyway.

Maria Santay is a well-known legal observer: clearly identified, clearly compliant, and clearly targeted.

We see you. We’re recording. And we will not look away.

This happened in El Monte, CA.

He's treating Alaska like a blue state...
NEW: The Trump admin. has denied Alaska's request for full reimbursement for disaster relief efforts for the first 3 months following the devastating Western Alaska storms, though Gov. Dunleavy claimed it was promised last fall.

The state has filed an appeal.

Thinking of my Japanese American elders today, their resistance, their bravery in the face of state violence.

“Were you afraid of being arrested?”
Fred Korematsu: “No, I wasn’t because I didn’t feel that I did anything wrong. If anybody did wrong, it was the law.” www.instagram.com/reel/DUJAjhC...
denshoproject on Instagram: "Today, on Fred Korematsu Day, we honor the man whose refusal to comply with the mass removal and confinement of Japanese Americans …"
Today, on Fred Korematsu Day, we honor the man whose refusal to comply with the mass removal and confinement of Japanese Americans during World War II became one of the most significant challenges to government authority in U.S. history. In an era shaped by wartime fear and racism, Korematsu took a stand against state power and raised enduring questions about constitutional rights, due process, and the responsibilities of citizenship.At just 23 years old, Korematsu resisted the EO9066 exclusion orders that targeted Japanese Americans solely because of their ancestry. His arrest and subsequent Supreme Court case exposed how official narratives can be used to justify the suspension of civil liberties during moments of national crisis. Although his conviction was initially upheld, Korematsu’s persistence and the eventual overturning of his conviction decades later demonstrate that justice can be achieved through resilience and dedication to democratic principles.Korematsu continued to speak out long after his case, drawing connections between the incarceration of Japanese Americans and later civil rights violations, including the detention of Muslim Americans after 9/11. He understood that the consequences of unchecked authority are not confined to a single moment in history, and that protecting democracy requires accountability, public awareness, and an accurate historical record.Densho preserves stories like Korematsu’s so that the lessons of our past remain visible and accessible for thoughtful examination, education, and public understanding. By documenting firsthand experiences and preserving evidence of injustice, we help ensure that history cannot be erased or rewritten to obscure harm. Korematsu’s life reminds us that history is not just something to remember, it is something to learn from.

I just voted against funding for DHS, ICE, and Trump’s lawless administration. We need to defund ICE, get them out of our communities, and abolish this violent agency. Not one more nickel for Trump and his MAGA minions.

On a night of life-threatening cold, a homeless person entered a Lansing bus station seeking refuge from the freezing temperatures.

Video shows police slamming them to the ground and pinning them with knees on their neck as they plead, "I'm here because it's cold outside, and I have nowhere to go."

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Three torpedoes doomed the ship and most of its passengers. People were trampled to death trying to flee, and those who made it into the freezing water were not assured of a place on a lifeboat. There wasn’t enough capacity, and the lifeboats on the port side weren’t accessible. /5

Today in history, 1945: A Russian submarine torpedoes the German transport ship Wilhelm Gustloff — the deadliest disaster at sea that you’ve never heard of. The ship was crowded with Germans fleeing the advancing Red Army, with as many as 9,000 lives lost in the icy Baltic Sea. /1
