- Reposted by Josh MenschWhen I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

- Reposted by Josh MenschThis is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

- Reposted by Josh Menschone thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

- I was so sad to learn about Clint Hill’s passing earlier this week. His story featured prominently in my book with @bradmeltzer.com, #TheJFKConspiracy. In 1960, Hill was a young Secret Service given the job of a lifetime: handling security for the incoming First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy. (1/3)
- At the time, neither knew she would soon be one of the most famous people in the world. Despite their different backgrounds—he grew up poor in a rural town, she grew up with great privilege—Hill and Jackie formed an unlikely friendship. He was by her side through the great events of the era. (2/3)
- On November 22, 1963, Hill risked his life to to save the First Lady's—and tried in vain to save the President's. Later, he spoke candidly about the PTSD and depression he suffered in the aftermath. He went on to serve other presidents, but his friendship with Jackie Kennedy endured. RIP. (3/3)

- It’s #PresidentsDay. @bradmeltzer.com and I have now written books about George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, and JFK. With all their differences, these presidents shared a core belief: our democratic system must stand up to tyrants and authoritarians.
- Reposted by Josh MenschLetters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.
- From @theatlantic.com, how Hitler dismantled Germany’s democratic system after only two months in power. His goals were to “withdraw from international treaty obligations, purge the country of foreigners he claimed were “poisoning” the blood of the nation, and exact revenge on political opponents.”

- JFK created #USAID in 1961. Here's what he said about providing aid to struggling nations: “Widespread poverty and chaos lead to a collapse of existing political and social structures which would inevitably invite the advance of totalitarianism into every weak and unstable area..." (con't.) #JFK
- "...Thus our own security would be endangered and our prosperity imperiled. A program of assistance to the underdeveloped nations must continue because the nation's interest and the cause of political freedom require it.” Full address here: www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/sp...

- Reposted by Josh MenschAuschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
