If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again.

I encourage everyone to visit Manzanar Historic Site- especially in the summer 110+ temps.

Re-elect Biden, and postpone it at least four years. To ensure that this never happens again, we must be prepared to combat it with sustained violence. We neither have the stomach nor the courage for it. Not when the opponent is our government. The Greatest Generation that fought Nazis, couldn't.

Donald Trump has stated his intention of establishing similar camps for undocumented immigrants. Want to bet that Hispanics who are American citizens will end up imprisoned in these camps?

If you want to delve a little deeper, I highly recommend Julie Otsuka’s recent novel.

I vividly remember the confusion and horror I felt while doing research for a paper I wrote on Japanese-American internment camps. As a teenager, the details shook me to the core because up to that point I thought “this specific kind of stuff” didn’t happen here.

Attended a zoom session with @georgetakei.bsky.social speaking on his family’s experience in a camp (among other subjects). Powerful.
If you get a chance to see him speak, do it.

More likely we should brace ourselves to see it again. Except those of us who will fight rather than surrender like Kevin Roberts is telling us to.

Deeply disturbing and a lot were interred close to me at Tule lake. I can't imagine the horror coming in just 6 months if the US gets this election wrong.

Thank you for sharing this.
For some reason, #SCOTUS said their holding only applied in that one case?
Many in my wife’s family were held in Manzanar. Took this photo on a visit there few years ago.

Of all the photographs Ansel Adams is famous for, his internment camp photos are the most powerful to me.

I’m old, but not that old, and I’ve met folks who were interned at Manzanar. Happy fourth, I guess.

the father of a close friend was imprisoned in a WWII internment camp. Never recovered, and it left long-term, multi-generational damage.

Growing up in coastal California, I was always familiar with the stories of internment, but living here has made it even more clear. I was out in the desert for work years ago and stopped at Manzanar. As always, the cruelty is the point.

Here are Qs for those who were unaware. Why were Japanese Americans sent to camps and German Americans were not? Also, why was the Supreme Commander of all Allied forces a German-American while no AJA was allowed to serve until almost the end of the war, even then in segregated units?

These internment camps could come back the next presidency. It’s terrifying that anyone not GOP could be detained.

if only there were some journalists of integrity, today, who would go photograph the kids in cages at the border, of which a record number have been detained by the Biden administration
