Over 120,000 Japanese Americans forced into imprisonment in internment camps simply because they were of Japanese heritage.
On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

I know a lot of you are asking us or talking about the 12 IGs (Inspector Generals) being fired. They aren't stepping down until it's done correctly. This is how you #Resist

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

The wind is absolutely howling out there tonight. I’m feeling very grateful to have a warm & safe home to live in. Seems like so much of that sort of thing is just luck of the draw. #helene #palestine #ukraine
