“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0

Writing at The Seattle Times, Mike Ishii reports that he is hearing a rhyme from his own family’s past. A snippet:

This Trump administration has taken the blueprint of Japanese American mass incarceration and weaponized it against immigrants — reviving the same racist logic, invoking the Alien Enemies Act, labeling people “enemy aliens” and “national security threats,” carrying out forced removals, separating families, and overseeing the massive expansion of a sprawling complex of detention sites that mirrors the one used against my family in 1942.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
