I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.
