March 23, 1942 - The U.S. government began moving all those of Japanese ancestry, including some native-born U.S. citizens (known as nisei), from their west coast homes to indefinite imprisonment in detention centers, beginning with Manzanar in California which eventually held more than 10,000 Americans.

An engraved plaque is mounted into the front of a large gray mountain-shaped, partially lichen-covered stone. Behind the stone, a small California lilac tree is beginning to bloom with purple flowers. The plaque reads: "On the morning of March 30, 1942, 227 Bainbridge Island men, women, and children, most of them United States Citizens, were escorted by armed soldiers to the Eagledale ferry landing. They solemnly boarded the ferry Kehloken and departed on a lonely journey with an unknown destination and fate. "They were exiled by Presidential Executive Order 9066 and Civilian Exclusion Order No. 1 because they were Nikkei — persons of Japanese ancestry. With only six days notice they were forced to hastily sell, store, or make arrangements for all of their possessions, businesses and property. They were allowed to take only what they could carry or wear. "They were the first of more than 120,000 Japanese-Americans to be forcibly removed from their homes and experience three years of unconstitutional internment. No all were interned. Some were drafted into the military, some were unjustly imprisoned, and some moved away — but all were forbidden to remain. "We dedicate this site to honor those who suffered and to cherish their friends and community who stood by them and welcomed them home. May the spirit of this memorial inspire each of us to safeguard constitutional right for all. "Nidoto Nai Yoni 'Let it not happen again'".

And yet, inexplicably and inexcusably, here we are.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1942, #FDR signed the viciously racist #ExecutiveOrder9066, leading to 120,000 #JapaneseAmericans, 2/3 of them born in the United States, being sent to #ConcentrationCamps for years. Stop calling this an #internment --- that word is for prisoners of war.

We’ve a checkered history in this country, with freedom most especially. It’s high time we’re talking about it, because this regime wants to turn the whole board grey.

The #SCOTUS on #ThisDayInHistory in 1944 made one of its worst rulings, 6 to 3, that #FDR's #ExecutiveOrder9066 was legal. #KorematsuVUnitedStates cleared the way for 120,000 Americans to spend #WWII in #ConcentrationCamps, using the same #racist reasoning as the #Fascist powers.

Rachel Maddow's Burn Order is gripping, dramatic, and wrong in the ways that matter most. It turns a complex and collective failure of American law and leadership into a fable of one scheming bureaucrat and the few brave souls who tried to stop him.

I've written a review of Rachel Maddow's new podcast #BurnOrder, about Japanese American incarceration in WWII.

This is its opening.

I'm pitching it to editors right now. Know someone you think would be interested? Please let me know!

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1942, #FredKorematsu was arrested. He had resisted FDR's #ExecutiveOrder9066, which sent Japanese-Americans to #ConcentrationCamps. #ACLU backed him in a trial that upheld the legality of these racist camps. SCOTUS finally criticized the precedent in 2018.

A black and white photograph depicting a group of people, predominantly women and children, waiting in line beside an older-style bus marked with the number 1057. The individuals are dressed in coats, hats, and scarves indicative of colder weather or seasonality from earlier decades. Several passengers carry luggage such as suitcases and bags, suggesting they may be embarking on a journey or evacuation. Trees can be seen behind them, hinting at an outdoor setting perhaps within a city park or communal area. The photograph evokes the historical context of Japanese American internment during World War II when families were forcibly relocated to internment camps by U.S. government policy under Executive Order 9066 issued in February 1942.

The things they carried.

#ExecutiveOrder9066 was signed by FDR on February 19, 1942, eighty years ago today, leading to the forced relocation and incarceration of over 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry in the U.S. Over two-thirds of those incarcerated were U.S. citizens.
