#StephenMiller is a LIAR & self-loathing yutz (self-loathing because he's from a marginalised group & targets other marginalised groups. He's from the same marginalised group I'm from ...Jewish ✡️ ).

Marginalised people should stick together instead of trying to cater to a tiny 'insider's club' of historically lazy & intellectually lacking conservative #superrichbullies who benefit from the rest of us hating each other.

'Scandal of historic proportions': Outrage as baker deported over autism awareness tattoo

"'Renditioned' is the correct term for what happened," wrote Refugees International president Jeremy Konyndyk. "These were not deportations...these people were renditioned unlawfully to a gulag outside the reach of US law."

#Tufts University sent an email to alumni on Thursday, detailing what school officials know about #RumeysaOzturk, a Turkish graduate student who was detained by federal authorities.

"The university had no knowledge of this incident in advance, did not share any information with federal authorities prior to the event," the email to alumni says.

Today In Labor History March 26, 1910: Congress amended the Immigration Act of 1907 to specifically bar entrance of “paupers, anarchists, criminals and the diseased.” The amendment was specifically designed to limit entry of Eastern and Southern European immigrants, many of whom were becoming radicalized by the deplorable working and living conditions in late 19th and early 20th century America. The law came in the midst of a wave of anti-immigrant hysteria, whipped up by government and media-generated pro-eugenics propaganda. The original law included the following statement of “undesirables” to be prohibited entry into the United States: “All idiots, imbeciles, feebleminded persons, epileptics, insane persons, and persons who have been insane within five years previous; persons who have had two or more attacks of insanity at any time previously; paupers; persons likely to become a public charge; professional beggars; persons afflicted with tuberculosis or with a loathsome or dangerous contagious disease.”

$5 million gold card anyone?

The pro-eugenics Medical Review of Reviews hired four vagrants to demonstrate on Wall Street in 1915. The picture’s original caption said the signs the men were paid to carry asked “some very pertinent questions.” Some of the signs read, “Would the prisons and asylums be filled if my kind had no children?” and “I can’t read this sign. By what right I have children?”

A #Wildfire colleague of mine, who is quite conservative, just posted a rant on another platform about crowds in our National Parks. Then they literally said "US citizens should have the priority over our National Parks, foreign tourists need to be limited."

I find that kind of thinking to be pretty scary.

7.3: They Sent Us to Camp: My Family's Experience of Internment During WWII

If you meet a Japanese American, it’s also a pretty good bet, they probably won’t spontaneously start talking about what they or their family went through, how they feel about it, and how they or their family recovered from the ordeal.

I (Christina) wanted to rectify that by sitting down with my old friend Chie Furuya, whose parents (as tiny children), grandparents, and other family members were “sent to camp”, to ask her about it. The answers and stories she had for me were both fascinating and unexpectedly heartening. Her people are a resilient, cheerful people and I feel like there are life lessons for all of us here, in terms of withstanding and recovering from severe injustice (and coming out on top).

Ariel’s addition to this episode description is to point out that Japanese internment occurred in Canada in the early 20th century as well. We (by which she means Canada, or perhaps so-called Canada, as she likes to call it) aren't some bastion of anti-racism and tolerant plurality (if we ever were). Check out our blog post for links for further edification if you are interested or want to know more about the Canadian side of the story.
