During his first Christmas at the Minidoka concentration camp in Idaho in 1942, Tsuguo “Ike” Ikeda remembers that the holiday spirit still found a way to shine.

“When you walk through that gate, you know you lost something.”

We are heartbroken by the passing of Kyoko Nancy Oda, a giant in the Nikkei community and one of our oral history narrators.

In honor of Densho’s 30th anniversary, we wanted to share a special message from our staff. These are 30 words reflecting our mission and symbolically representing our 30 years of existence. This statement captures our commitment to the past, present, and future.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2016, a moment of protest became a moment of invitation.

For the fifth installment of our “30 Stories for 30 Years” series, Mutsu Homma reflects on her time at Amache (Granada) and an encounter she never forgot: a soldier’s question, “Are you a human being?”

Each year, February 19th brings us back to a crucial date in 1942. On that day, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, a decision that authorized the forced removal and incarceration of over 125,000 people of Japanese ancestry, most of them U.S. citizens.

“We didn’t have separate rooms. It was like a regular barrack, we all slept next to each other.”

Today, on Fred Korematsu Day, we honor the man whose refusal to comply with the mass removal and confinement of Japanese Americans during World War II became one of the most significant challenges to government authority in U.S. history.

Knicks look to unlock Jalen Brunson. Use Shamet as a screener to get Mitchell in action. Big key is Cleveland does not automatically switch. That does open up another side. KAT now goes to screen, reject engages Mobley who was dropped back. KAT pops and is now able to drive.

We deserve a nation that loves us back. A nation that protects its most vulnerable. A nation where every child can prove how far they can go, because we’ve given them a chance. We sat down with Live5news & Nick Reagan to talk about building an economy that empowers every American. #SC01 #SCpol

Hegseth read a passage from the book of Ezekiel 25:17 but it was really from Pulp Fiction. When Trump read his Old Testament passage today I hoped it'd be from The Book of Armaments. Chapter 2 verses 9-21. @johnfugelsang.bsky.social @gottalaff.bsky.social @thefarce.org @salgentile.bsky.social

The Minnesota Massacres by ICE of Renee Good and Alex Pretti show how our life and liberty can be ripped away in an instant. Don’t let the government assassinate more of us: Call and email your Senators this week to demand they defund ICE and tell them to vote no on DHS funding.

This is who Trump nominates to the judiciary: folks who don't know what the law actually says. I'm not talking about arcane precedents found in the Federal Reporter. These guys *do not know what the Constitution says*. How can they fair & unbiased arbiters of laws they do not know or understand?🤦‍♂️

Not only does Trump want a slush fund for insurrectionists and cronies, he’s also giving himself a get-out-of-jail-free card for his rampant tax cheating. Sen. @markwarner.bsky.social is right—both need to end.
