We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.
There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.
This is my favorite guide.
I first joined the Tule Lake Pilgrimage in 2010 to grasp the devastating consequences of resisting a loyalty questionnaire in the middle of a war. At the last pilgrimage in 2024, I documented the movement to translate and interpret the Japanese-language literature of incarceration. buff.ly/cOgAUSB

Japanese American incarceration has this irrepressible way of coming up in the news. I wrote a brisk account of the times our history has become a focus of organizing for immigrant solidarity, a distorted right-wing talking point, or both. open.substack.com/pub/konrader...

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
