Incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans holds lessons now The Day of Remembrance, Feb. 19, should focus our attention on how a constitutional republic can shun its first principles.

On this Day of Remembrance I hope you will all read this article by my friend and colleague Daryl Maeda who poignantly and powerfully writes about the legacy of incarceration and racial profiling of Japanese Americans and lessons we NEED to LEARN

Friends in the Boulder area -- at 5pm at the Boulder Public Library I hope you'll come hear @angiechuang.bsky.social deliver a talk about her latest book, which offers a vital glimpse into politics, race, and journalism.

"This is a moment that demands courage, solidarity, and action. Waiting is not neutral. Inaction carries consequences."

These are the last sentences in the Boulder Faculty Assembly resolution condemning ICE and protecting our community.

Boulder County DA advises residents of rights revolving around ICE encounters The Boulder County District Attorney’s Office has advised residents of their rights when it comes to dealing with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, more commonly known as ICE.

Do any lawyers out there know if state law will override federal agents?

“Colorado law also prohibits civil immigration arrests at courthouses, probation offices, medical facilities or schools, the district attorney’s office said.”

"It may take time to prove you're right, but you have to stick to it."
- Fred Korematsu

Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/

It shouldn't surprised anyone that this administration is going after Black journalists. The white Christian nationalist agenda is rooted in white supremacy and along with it a heavy dose of anti-Black racism. One only has to see the response to Minneapolis to see how this is being weaponized.

There are people waiting outside the Whipple building to help the people ICE has let out without coats and their phones. If you can help the helpers, I hope you will. The cruelty of this admin knows no bounds. And so does the kindness of strangers.

Hearing folks are bummed they missed the Eyes on ICE training - but good news, it's all recorded and public! We'll be holding more live trainings soon, but if you aren't one of 200,000 who already watched it, find it here: www.youtube.com/live/zqka9fU...

Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

YouTube video by C-SPAN Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) Assaulted During Town Hall Meeting

Rep Ilhan Omar was attacked by a man during a live stream town hall. And the comments on CSPAN are demoralizing because people don't believe it's real. This is what we've come to as a nation. And yet again a woman of color carries on with grace and grit.

Americans have a caricatured view of democracy of something that has just always existed, and this is an unfortunate oversight. American history has always been a conflict between democracy and authoritarianism. Hopefully we emerge more democratic on the other side. 9/9

Long story short, if you want to understand authoritarianism in America, you cannot view it as a foreign or unprecedented ideology. It has always been here. We've tamped it down, but it is an ongoing struggle. Hopefully we make progress after this madness is over, but it is never truly over. 8/x

The struggle between authoritarianism and liberal democracy is an enduring part of American history. We are currently living through another chapter of this long running conflict. We've made progress towards being a multiracial democracy, but democracy has never been universally accepted here 6/x

Americans have a habit of trying to compare all authoritarianism to Nazi Germany. I think in some ways i think it is comforting to view authoritarianism as a foreign ideology. If you want to understand our current authoritarian moment, you need to look to our own past, not to Europe 1/x

Not only is authoritarianism not new, it is still in our living memory. Southern racial apartheid is more recent than the Nazis, and more relevant to understanding our current politics. As American politics have nationalized, the South anchors one of the two parties and exported its politics 5/x

You can’t “we need our guns” your way to perpetuating school shootings while “he had a gun” your way to justifying public executions.

A nurse.

Someone who’s actually saved lives.

Alex was disarmed, pinned, and then executed.

AOC: "It is reported he had a permit. And this administration's response is that the very that he was a legal firearm owner was reason for them to shoot him in the street ... if we do not do something now, I do not what can happen afterward. We have to contain this chaos."

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.
