If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

"This is our moral moment..." Cory Booker continues to be an inspiration today. It's not enough to stay silent as we watch the tyranny around us and wait for someone else to stand up and fight it. Use your power and never back down!
