On this Memorial Day, we want to share an oral history interview of decorated World War II veteran and member of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, Fred Shiosaki, describing the rescue of the "Lost Battalion” in World War II.

“If I couldn’t accept curfew, how could I accept this? … I couldn’t, I can’t accept it. It’s worse.”

As part of Densho’s “30 Oral Histories for 30 Years” series, this interview with Peggie Nishimura Bain offers a vivid reflection on creativity, ingenuity, and survival under incarceration, revealing how everyday acts of creation carried meaning far beyond their materials.

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

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.

“I remember breaking down and crying. I couldn't explain to her why I had given up that name and how because I had recently regained my feeling of pride and everything, I didn't want to use it because it was special now.”

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.

In the tenth installment of our 30 Stories for 30 Years series, George Yamada describes how he chose to pursue a chick sexer career.

Diana Morita Cole was born in the Minidoka concentration camp, Idaho. Although the closure of the camps began in December 1944, Diana’s family still lived in Minidoka until October 1945. When she was just a year and a half old, her family left for Chicago, Illinois.

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?”

The Trump administration just confirmed an American has tested positive for BUNDIBUGYO, a strain of Ebola. This country can’t survive another pandemic under Trump. How many more can the 🤬🍊🐔💩 kill this time

Terrifying war crimes exposed! The NYT confirms the Pentagon tested an experimental PRISM missile packed with 180,000 tungsten pellets on an Iranian sports hall. Washington literally used a girls volleyball team as test subjects, massacring 21 civilians. Pure evil!

Despite what some, including at DHS, are claiming, this video isn’t from a year ago in Chicago. It was Friday in Hoffman Estates, in my district, a street I’ve walked myself. It appears to show a child being violently detained by ICE. It’s real, and I’m demanding accountability.

The “imminent threat” argument for striking Iran does not hold up. The administration cannot even keep its story straight about why the attack happened. When the explanation keeps changing, it usually means there was no real justification.

Trump's FBI Director Kash Patel can't answer a simple question on whether he's drunk on the job or not.

There is no reason the military should be at our polls. Period. When I asked, Secretary Hegseth wouldn’t answer directly. That’s because he knows President Trump is watching and doesn’t want to make him angry.

This arrogant Labor Government went to the election hiding its real agenda, promised no changes, then broke that promise and now acts like nothing happened. Australians were misled, and it’s the Opposition’s job to hold Labor to account.

I'm reminded of @abadonx13.bsky.social 's Hey!EW episode there they don't talk for most of the ep, give a well put and laid out explanation of gender, identity and expression and on the next question just drool black goo down their face :D Possibly my favourite ep.

Trump administration is repealing a rule that prevents power plants from releasing hundreds of millions of gallons of toxic mercury and arsenic into drinking water because fuck you that's why.

For America 250 we could have had Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, and others preform for our nation’s birthday if we had a Democrat in office. Now Trump is having even D-list celebrities cancel on him because he is turning the event into a party for and about himself.

"Was die durchgeknallte Trulla nicht sagt: Ihr Netzpaket sorgt dafür, dass in der Hälfte des Landes keine Solar und Wind Anlagen mehr gebaut werden, weil aus Angst vor teuren Abschaltung keiner mehr investiert. Weswegen gerade die 16 Energieminister mit 16 zu 0 Stimmen ihre Politik abgelehnt haben."
