1997 sophomore history teacher didn’t know about “internment camps” in the us. The class was discussing the topic on concentration camps how could it happen how did people let it’ happen. I said “easy you single out an easily distinguishable group and let fear take over.. we did it to Japanese Americans during the war” no one believed me. This guy had to look it up and said I was right the next day. For backround my dad is Japanese American and a history nerd that’s how I knew.

Easy for a Captain of a starship to be brave. Not so easy for a civilian with only one shoe.

I haven't "given up" per say and I'll keep voting blue but until the Democrats get their shit together and start running a new playbook instead of the one from pre 2016 then nothing will change. It's almost like they are fine with the status quo because they are political elites and won't be nearly as affected by changes as I will.

set Phazers to LETS FUCKING GO! George Takei is now literally my favorite human being in this country. Hey republicans, when you get disillusioned with your dictator and are looking for a REAL PATRIOT. He is right here in the Captains Chair. Thank you George.

It’s a nice sentiment but I’m not sure what he expects. If anything it feels like we’ve been skirmishing for a while and this election was them winning. Not really sure what else I can do for my part.

Yeah, all the redditors giving up already before January 20th even rolls around is pretty damn frustrating

Sigh. Being reminded of what people like the Takeis went through makes me realize I can't give up fighting against ignorance, hate, and greed.
