Do not think for one second this won't happen again w/ the #MassDeportations..

"In Feb. 1942 ....President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 that resulted in the internment of Japanese Americans. The order authorized the Sec. of War & military commanders to evacuate all persons deemed a threat from the West Coast to internment camps, that the government called "relocation centers," further inland."

Photograph what you see.
Keep documenting.

Just read this and I am... not shocked.

Very disturbed but not shocked. The history I've been reading on how #Mexican #migrants have been treated in the past is horrific.

"There have been two 'Mass Deportations' of Mexicans and US citizens of Mexican descent that have happened before in the United States. You don’t know about it because this history isn’t taught."

A photo by Dorothea Lange of Kimiko Kitagaki, tagged and numbered like the luggage surrounding her, as she and other Japanese Americans awaited their forced removal to an internment camp for Japanese Americans, most of them citizens, in World War II. The photo is in the National Archives, and is available for sharing online at Wikimedia Commons.

It CAN happen here. It HAS happened. And we refuse to learn from our barbarism in the past.

I'm not a doctor.
I'm not a therapist.

One thing that has helped my anxiety/depression since September - volunteering.

I started volunteering at our local library assisting immigrants/migrants in learning to converse in English. It has helped... BEYOND.

If you're feeling helpless - volunteer(!) At your local houseless shelter, #library, food bank, etc.

They are understaffed and need your help!

We now live in a world where the #USA is a failed state.

🇺🇸 Professional Probation Services ( www.ppsfamily.com ) exposes almost 500,000 US probationers private data publicly, SSNs included, and when I ask them for their intentions regarding disclosure, they go into hiding mode, removing their management and Our companies contact page.

Read more about the exposed data from the company who, according to them, has "A corporate culture of knowing right from wrong, and doing right- every time."

#nyc #newyork #un #freepalestine #armsemargonow #warcrimes #palestine #lebanon #usa #congress #traitors #StopGenocide Jewish Voice for Peace HAPPENING NOW: New Yorkers are shutting down the Israeli delegation's motorcade route in Manhattan before they are slated to speak at the United Nations. War criminals are not welcome in NYC. Arms embargo now.

Just part of Lawrence O’Donnell’s opening tonight on The #LastWord. He lacerated Trump and the U.S. corporate news media and its lackey Trump sycophantic reporters. Shades of Peter Finch in “Network”—this is the kind of thing more people need to do. Roland Martin does this often.

@SteveThompson @JamesGleick

"how much the reporting of #Trump necessarily edits & parses his words, to force it into sequential paragraphs or impose meaning where it is difficult to detect... presenting information in as intelligible a form as possible is what we are trained for. But the shock I felt hearing half an hour of unfiltered meanderings from [Trump] made me wonder whether the editing does our readers a disservice”

Duverger’s law. It is not education, or worldviews, which need changing; it is the electoral system. Watch Maine and Alaska in #USA #election2024 - they will not be using fptp.

And neither should anyone else.

Proportional representation eliminates the benefits of strategic voting, so less-extreme parties emerge.
