A small, nice story about folks trying to help us recall past injustices.
Many Americans now, of course, don’t want to be reminded of old American incarceration camps; they’re instead focused on building brand new ones.

A baseball event featuring two amateur games was held October 26 at the site of a World War II-era incarceration camp in California to increase awareness of the lives of Japanese Americans who were confined in the facility more than 80 years ago.
The Republican Party’s rhetoric around immigration is growing increasingly vile: as in #Bigotry, #DeportationCamps … and #Murder
GOP candidate Donald Trump vows to erect giant “deportation camps” if re-elected.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott muses about ordering law enforcement to shoot migrants.
Trump tells rallies that immigrants are “poisoning the blood of our country” in an echo of Nazi rhetoric and plans the “largest domestic deportation operation in American history,” with the military providing support.
In a radio interview last week, Abbott said Texas is doing everything it can to stop migrants short of murder. “The only thing that we’re not doing is we’re not shooting people who come across the border, because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder,” he said
The problem with this rhetoric is that over time it stokes fear and eventually will normalize deplorable, inhumane actions.
GOP rhetoric is particularly dangerous because the immigration debate is primarily emotional rather than logical. Fear overwhelms the facts. And America is on a slippery slope to fascism.
