Thank you for highlighting this. And yesterday was Fred Korematsu Day of Civil Liberties and the Constitution (seven states and NYC observe but it should be a national holiday). Hoping the Korematsu Institute will get to Bluesky. We need them. #FredKorematsu

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.

So today's prompt was "super sloth"...but I saw on Wikipedia that today is Fred Korematsu Day and decided that a commemorative sketch was way better. So happy Fred Korematsu Day for Civil Liberties and the Constitution, may his legacy live on.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social.
"That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

#EO9066 stripped #FredKorematsu of his rights as a US citizen w/o #dueprocess. It took significant bravery for him to refuse the order, esp when his family complied & many in the Jpnse community thought he’d make things harder for them. If he complied, he would be sent to an internment camp;
