There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it. The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it. You know what? We won’t get over it. It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one. We will persist. Count on it.
Thank you Mr. Takei. I am encouraged every time I read the words "we will persist."
The Iraqis never got an apology that I could remember for the false flag of WMD weapons of mass destruction and weapons of mass Deplorables.

An apology without change in behaviour is a lie
Yes
I just love you, George!
I want every person responsible for these atrocities to be held accountable.
As a Social Science teacher, now retired, I taught about Executive Order 9066. I visited what was left of Manzanar. I saw the old Koi fish pond. I day dreamed the past & heard their voices over the windy desolation. It’s so good to have you on our side, someone who knows. You provide strength 🥲
So, basically, right after we apologize, we gear up for the next round of camps targeting different groups? Got it.
We will remember too. They forget the shoe will be on the other foot. And the high road is eroding
I HAVE A DREAM!!! 13 MILLION PEACEFUL PROTESTORS SHOUTING "TRUMP NEEDS TO RESIGN"! www.youtube.com/live/hEgRlvU...

The Nuremberg 2.0 is coming not that they included the internment camps on U.S. soil then but we will make sure that they are included this time around #Cruelty4CrueltysSake
human decency is not something to get over - it's something to embrace. Being an asshole republican, now that's something to get over or else die a complete waste of human existence
👍💙🙏💙👍
✊
George…….thank you
I am counting on it.
Right you are George!!!
These guys are gonna be issuing a lot of apologies. Some day.
Joni Ernst says, “We’re all going to die.” Perhaps she has stock in a mortuary and burial business.
Nobody has ever been held accountable for Kent State. What kind of nation murders it's own children on the way to school and then walks away from it as if it never happened? What kind of nation let's people murder it's own kids with no accountability? The UNITED STATES! That nation. 😢
Stupid, Stupid McConnell needs to have someone remind him how Trump maligned his Asian wife!... Why she is still with this Stupid OLD, ReTHUG Moron is unbelievable!
They need to get over themselves!
25 amend: article 4.
They seem to equate THEIR ignoring societies basic needs with OUR being over it. That isn't the same thing, and the basic needs are piling up #GOP.
Now let’s make them give y’all’s land back.
@georgetakei.bsky.social I am so sorry for what happened to you and your family. It is a dark blemish on our history. We will look back on what is happening currently with ICE detentions with the same shame.
Great post.
The only surprise is that McConnell still has the power of speech
💯🎯
He’s not a King He’s not a Pope He’s not really a President He’s not a Strongman He’s not a very stable genius He’s not a negotiator He’s not a peacemaker He’s not a visionary He’s not a diplomat He’s not an inspiration He’s not a leader He believes he is all of these which is why he has to go.
Use The Excuse "Wasting Tax Dollars" Sending Monies Back To The Rich So They Can Raise The Debt Ceiling To Trillions Of Dollars That Our Grandchildren Will Have To Pay For! youtu.be/cOLVSPAZ1wg?...
That’s right.
❤️
Tell Mitch we won’t get over it, and now we’ll blame him.
I have apologized several times, but please keep reminding us.
Mitch, those 2026 midterms, you'll get over them.
He’s not running for re-election. Also, not trying to get past the pearly gates… looks like he’d rather spend eternity with that horrible Rush Limbaugh person.
Facing Rush with Pol Pot on his right and Charles Manson to his left, Mitch asks God what he did to deserve his fate. "It was the 2025 Reconciliation Bill. Get over it!"
We will not get over it. Send a loud message.
Great post - spot on!
Black people are still waiting.
We aren’t going anywhere.
Right! From that bleeding heart liberal, Ronald Reagan.
F*ing Mitch McTurtleface says, "They'll get over it"?! I didn't think it possible for him to be more callous, condescending & calculating. Holy shit, was I wrong! He's a stone-cold cruel asshole & his legacy is the most corrupt administration in US history & his SCOTUS packed with right-wing MAGAts!
Every one of these is spot on! 🤬👍
I'm thinking the 2026 midterms are going to be harsh on the GOP. Particularly if Trump checks out before then. The 2028 election may be a landslide against them like the 1932 election.
Tell ‘em George👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Damn straight. You keep fighting, Mr. Takei! #thisisnotmyamerica
I'm looking forward to 'getting over' McConnell parting ways with the mortal coil, tbh.
Good Trouble America No KINGS in America Stop Trump from MAKING AMERICA GARAGE AGAIN
Amen
You would think this old bastard would be thinking about the putrid legacy he has made for himself, and try to do something decent on his way out. Nope. Selfish, ruthless, shameless. Watched people suffer. Helped only himself and the rich. He is a disgrace. Call him at 202-224-2541
Sadly all the fuckers that are doing this will be dead and most of us older folks will also be dead and never hear that apology and won't have access to it and live through hell.
+Joni Ernst, her concern for others was expressed in five words, "We're all going to die." What's her healthcare plan? Mitch sounding woke AF, what's his healthcare plan? Read on line these folks opt for the gold-level Obama Care plan. Can anyone confirm, really need a good laugh about now.
I've had enough...but it will take all of us...in the streets saying...No More...
When they GOP get their ass kicked in the next election we can just say, Get over it.
Trump is taking us back to the time of concentration camps.
We're here.
And we will NEVER get over the overturn of 50 years of precedent that Dobbs brought us.
Thanks--- I needed the prompt today. No pity partying, self--PERSIST!
Sick of the glib monsters.
We don't run. We hold fast and give some back.
McConnell a piece of shit
George, I just finished transcribing a pocket log for the 442nd regiment, the most highly decorated unit. The regiment was almost 100% Japanese American serving in Europe during WWII. I am in awe of them. When I get to heaven - hopefully - I want to meet them and thank them.
"OH my..." from your time on 3rd rock
When identity politics becomes cult-like, it can convince people to defend systems that harm them—trading critical thought for loyalty, and solidarity for division. darren415.substack.com/p/identity-a...
I'm still waiting for an apology and reparations for being denied equal rights as a gay American.
Yeah, great, 80 years from now they’ll stick a blurb in a bill and nobody’ll notice
Yes we will persist, and prevail! I'm not looking away, I am not forgetting, I am not going to get over it! Together we will succeed. I stand with you. Solidarity!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Did they ever get over losing the Civil War? Maybe they should get over that first and then we talk :)
Serious question, did the Japanese Americans get an apology from Trump or from a democratic president? ( Democratic president feels like " a lawfully elected president" ....)
We will thrive. National Strike.
They tell us to get over it but can't handle the tiniest inconvenience or act of compassion.
This straight dude loves ya, George. FIGHT!
Never did think about it, and this needs to happen.
"We're all gonna die" ~ Joni Ernst
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻💙💙💙💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I think the fundamental difference here is that Trump supporters don’t want this sort of thing to happen to them. The people who will ultimately clean up this mess don’t want this to happen to ANYONE!
Their hubris must be crushed.
Galileo: Tell me about it George. 🙁
The ppl who vote for these ghouls will get over it. They’ll just blame someone else.
I'm over him. Putting incompetent people in key positions of the Gov't. That's what he thinks of you. Not much huh.

1000% . 2026 cannot arrive quick enough.
Easy for someone who is dying to state this.
Regarding reparations… some apology. It was brought up in January of 87 and didn’t pass the house until September. The Senate sat on it until April of 88. Regan, then waited 5 months to sign it. …and you had to be alive to collect. My grandmother died in that interim. As did many other issei.
The absolute appalling comment by McConnell. He did not get over polio, did he. Still suffers from the after affects, yet would deny so many proper health care.
“Get over it” from the party that’s still crying about losing the 2020 election.
Shit, they are still mad about how the Civil War turned out.
An apology is a no cost out. I don't think it's enough. The Japanese lost their farms, which are now owned by major agribusinesses. They were never fairly compensated. This country has always been run by thieves and thugs and the public has always been told convincing lies. This one is the worst.
Count on it.💯✅️
I am with you wholeheartedly sir!
And do you think China will get over the Nanjing Massacre? Where is Japan's apology?
💯
People don’t get over being bombed so easy either.
the apology was not enough in my opinion. but white make right i suppose
Unfortunate thing is, the person who should be apologising the most will be dead before the midterms, dementia's taken hold too hard, and he'll be snuffing it soon, it's why he's doing everything as quick as he can, ruin the world before he pops his clogs...
Damn straight, we won't get over it!! MOSCOW MITCH can get over the fact that WE WON'T GET OVER IT!!
I've been watching the Republicans destroy this country for 45+ years now. It does seem like Americans do "get over it." Because they continue to vote these GOP scumbags into power. Don't ask me why.
👏👏👏 They’re hoping we quit - don’t.
Joni Ernst advised her fellow cult members to quit worrying about constituents because they're all gonna die, and so they'll get over it one way or another.
Too bad we can’t take away their healthcare or their salaries and let them struggle.
they are doing it again, George. Only this time they are vanishing people completely
Thank you, George!
Black folks are still waiting on any apology...and will not get one. Native Americans too.
Every so often, it hits me that the world is only FIVE MONTHS into this second-term horror show. As a non-American, I weep here in Australia for the USA, a country I've admired all my life.* * excluding 2017-2021 and January 2025 to now. 🇦🇺➡️🩵🇺🇸 🚫🍊🤡😑
Ditto.
Ditto!!!
Thank you for caring about us.
🇦🇺👍
We indeed will get over it when they are all gone!
Persist! Resist!
And Jan6 will follow Trump to his grave! We’ll NEVER get over it and all the pardons in the world won’t help when Proud Boys and your other protectors and cultists come to terms with you playing them like fools. Kamala Harris would have treated them like humans and said let’s talk there’s room here
Persistence to Resistance
that is what abusers say bsky.app/profile/redl...
And Joni Ernst says we're all going to die.
What a callous statement
Yes, she's very callous. www.npr.org/2025/05/31/n...
The difference Joni, is that we don’t want to die for your being able to experience The End Times and Rapture. Religious nutters have been predicting this for years & years and it never happened and won’t happen.
George is a great American and the best helmsman the Enterprise ever had. I love his posts.
Indeed my sir. The work is underway.
The only way for the GOP to make up for this mess is for all of them to get kicked out of power and locked away in El Salvador's gulag for the rest of their days, abolishing the political party.
Amen!
George, it took over a hundred and fifty years to get an apology for the Trail of Tears - and we never did 'get over it'. Apologies are nice. Whiskey costs money.
2020 election. GET THE FUCK OVER IT!!
Apology? Not enough. I want blood (metaphorically). I want them to lose their jobs. I want them homeless with no money and everyone kicking them in the head when they pass by :/
An old cliche - payback is a bitch.
Lots of us *won't* persist without Medicare/Medicaid, myself included. Without access to the ungodly amount of neurontin I'm on to do as much control on CRPS as possible? I'd be gone by my own hand within a month...if that. Even a day without makes every hour stretch into days.
Some of us can't wait on the future to get this right. If we can't make it right now, why are we gonna ask the future to do what we can't right now?
This is a 4th of July celebration I can get behind
But tell MAGA to get over something and they will rip you apart. They are awful people.
🇺🇸💙🇺🇸TYVM for your positive words. 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
Can't say it better than that!!! 👏👏👏
Do not forget the North American Indian and nothing about that either
An apology? Your debts have yet to be paid, my friend. It might be closure for you, but I am still embarrassed by and ashamed of the debt our country owes to you and your family. The years you'll never get back. The places, time and people you missed. Normally you could at least sue for that.
It was horrific then, and still haunts us.
You’re the best!!! 💙💙💙
I won’t get over it, I’ll fight forit everyday and force the to get over it.
Never forget the #protesters ended our involvement in the #WarInVietNam. #Persist #Resist
Yeah, but we had a NORMAL President then, NOT a RAVING LUNATIC filled with HATE & ANGER, with the mentality and behavior of a SPOILED TODDLER! Nixon was BAD but he looks like a SAINT compared to Trump!
We still MUST remind ourselves we CAN WIN because if we give into discouragement & fear, many may STOP protesting or fighting in whatever way we must I was as upset when Reagan won as I was when #TraitorTrump won, but I didn't know at the time he was a TRAITOR. IT'S VITAL WE WIN THIS TIME!
I wonder how they'll "get over it" when we prosecute all of them...and we will.
The good man is full of vigor and truth.
They couldn't 'get over' a black man in the Oval Office bunch of hypocrites.
Your word in gods ear
The U.S. apologized to Japanese Americans for internment—a rare moment of reckoning. But it’s one chapter in a long, brutal history: Chavez Ravine, Operation Wetback, Tulsa, redlining, and Indian Boarding Schools all echo with stolen rights and silenced voices
Add to that list: the Chinese Exclusion Act, Alien Land Laws, Watsonville Riots, Stonewall, the Lavender Scare, and the AIDS crisis neglect. One apology doesn’t erase a legacy of harm. Justice isn’t a moment—it’s a movement we still owe to so many.
Wasn’t it the dems that interned the American Japanese? FDR if I’m correct.
#IStandWithGeorge
We can never give in.
👍
Just shows you why they have been bad for their constituents the last sixty years. They just figured the people would “get over it”. Maybe this is the one thing they won’t be able to get over.
God damn right! 🤬
We won't get over it, but we will get over them!
Humm, my Great Grandparents didn’t get an apology and neither have I wondered why?
Yes!
Keep living your truth. It's the best way to spit in the eye of the regime. You would think after your apology in 1988 (Canadian timeline) and my apology in 2008 for residential schools (1700s-1996,) North America would just quit doing this crap. But no. No learning done, apparently.
Thank you!! Keep posting for all of us!
Still haven't apologized about slavery orJim Crow.
MAGAts will say "get over it" over serious issues but then turn around and act like a movie, show, or game having a main character who isn't a white straight man is the end of the world... yeah, these are the last idiots who should be saying "get over it".
Time to send McConnell and trump to the slaughter house. Putting them out to pasture is too good and they are no good for the glue factory
Best way to get an apology from the ever useless republican, Louisville make a slugger that works wonders on their thick head.
I’m not surprised it took 43 years to get an apology, but it is still heartbreaking. I’m a big old nobody who wasn’t even a twinkle in my parents’ eye back then, but I am sorry to you and everyone else who had to suffer through that. And that you have to watch this shit happening again.
#NotGettingOverIt
I don’t know if you know but Eleanor Roosevelt told Franklin he was making a big mistake with doing what he did.
🎯🎯🎯
I had the honor to know Jerry Enomoto who helped achieve that long-awaited and much needed apology to you all. Learned a lot from him about what happened and how you secured justice after all those years.
I don't care about apologies-- none of them are serious, anyway. I want consequences.
Those Republicans are sickening all of them they just sit and watch this shit happen.
George 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💙💙💙
As if Cheeto gets over anything, he still mentions Hillary and Obama
You speak with authority because of what you lived through. Well said.
An apology is shit. What about compensation for loses?
47 needs Congress, until he doesn't
a mess of their own making
if you love the U.S. please focus on the GOP or there will be no U.S. right now the GOP in Congress has the Project 2025 "bill" to gut Medicaid, Medicare and crown 47 a king keep calling the Congressional switchboard: "kill the bill" "we will vote blue" 202-224-3121 💙 continue peaceful protests
He'll, you can even call DO NOTHING #GusBilirakis in Florida.
yeah, that post could be edited to say, "anything R+20 or less", by now
the time to act is now
As Bernie Sanders says, "They've got the money, but we've got the people."
did our government ever actually apologize???? 🕐🕐
IMHO, they haven’t anpologized enough.
hell ya i'm not getting over anything!
Looking forward to that apology long after I’m dead
“Time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life, and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal.” - Quellcrist Falconer
Damn right!
Great message George these sentences are part of a campaign with Trump and McConnell on the forefront Start now with bumper stickers “The we don’t care what happens to you” caucus
I'm not waiting 43 years, and an apology won't be enough. This ends with blood.
How could anyone ever get over a mass shooting in a school? You’d have to be sub human to bypass this ‘born in’ trait. Do we really have people who deny PTSD?
💯
IT'S BEEN 500 YEARS AND THEY DID US WORSE! STILL NO APOLOGY OR REPARATIONS FOR SLAVERY!
I will never fully understand human hatred towards others. In my midst 20s, my mind woke up after the beating of Rodney King. I was living pretty close to some of riots in the 90s. It definitely changed me forever. 💙❤️💙❤️
Hopefully, someone younger will carry on the fight.
