😢🤗

😢🤗

This is despicable. Never thought I’d see this here. 😪💔

My heart just keeps breaking over all of the hate being spewed by the right. I never thought I’d see this in my country. I fear for my grandchildren.

💔

When I was a young, my father a WW2 vet told me about the horrific imprisonment of Japanese Americans. How could we do this in our name? This could NEVER happen again. Yet... here we are. 😞 Sending you healing thoughts, Mr. Takei. 🕊️

We love you George. Our heart is broken too!

Imagine if he used the foreign workers who voted for him to build these camps, and then instead of paying them, he kept them there. #regretsmaga

🫂

I am so sorry 😞 💔🫂

WE LOVE YOU GEORGE

All of this has to be terribly triggering for you and others who shared your experiences. This has to end.

I hate this! This phucking time line breaks my heart as well. Please everybody, find your voice and RESIST.

We are NOT at war except against Trump.

Stay strong, we'll make it again. Tears, prayers, resolve.

Despicable. 😡

😢😢😢

I am sorry George

💔

💔💔💔

They did not use tents in WWII? The cruelty is trying to outdo the last Stain on the USA!

They're already out doing the last stain by the sheer fact that, that time, the Nazis were the ENEMIES

A stain on the US forevermore.

Incarcerating people who have done nothing but try to make a better life & tearing apart families is cruel. My mother was @ Rohwer and her father was repatriated. She grew up thinking he abandoned her & found out 60 yrs later that he only agreed to go if his family went with him

😢

I live in this state and all I can say in F@#$& Texas.

Unbelievable.

Day 218 of 1462 - DICTATORSHIP “A lot of people are saying, maybe we'd like a dictator” WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? Why aren’t YOU Sexual Deviant Donald J Trump getting them out of America Fox? Hannity? Beck? CreepTurd? Benny Johnson? Gateway Pundit? WHO? www.rawstory.com/trump-dictat...

They are a heartless acting group pretending to care about our society. Due process legal rights needed asap. ICE is not even a trained police force anymore. Prayers for the detainees.

"Vote blue no matter who" he said. You neolibs made this bed.

We need one good ship!

Damn, I always liked #georgetakei but since blue sky, why didn't you run for office?

😡😡😡😡

I can only imagine - I'm so sorry.

History repeating itself again as tragedy.

Time to leave Gilead while we still can

History is repeating itself.

This is one of the latest pieces of garbage 😞 he's given us. We're making headway on the detention center in Florida. It really bothers me that they were relying on 🐢 to protect them. Here, the Miccosukee show haw concerned they are that any 🐊 will eat anybody.

& My Heart Breaks 🫶🏻

History repeats itself as right.

Sorry. I'm sure this triggers some unpleasant memories.

Never again.

This shouldn’t be happening.

We need to start rescuing people from these Concentration Camps. No one should be held in such conditions, let alone those who have committed no crimes, and never got their day in court to defend themselves.

Don’t let it bug you buddy. I know that easier said than done but these people are dumb and inhumane.

respectfully, things like *this* should bug us. A whole hell of a lot. Because this is inhumane. Intentionally so.

Wow. What a**holes.

😢

😔

obvious example of absolute evil by our dictator in chief.. the fact that this location was chosen AGAIN.. just demonstrates that Trump wants to be seen as a person that can torture anyone that hurts his frail ego. The shame of the past, cast the shadow on Donny

💔Why has the Republican Party abandoned democracy?!

Why have they abandoned basic decency? Oh, wait. They did that a long time ago.

The GOP has no heart -- or soul.

We went way too easy on these racist bastards after the Civil War.

I'm sure this placement of the concentration camp was not an accident. It was meant to send a message.

Here in the UK we have a party that want to emulate Trump and build concentration camps - because that’s what they are! Mass deportations, repeal the Human Rights Act, leave the ECHR, remove workers rights, tax breaks for the rich privatise the NHS. And people vote for them! Beggars belief.

The circle is complete. 😢

The “colonizers” colonizing once again. Bless the convicted felon’s little heart. 👀

Fuck Texas. Texas is the scum of the earth right now. And if you live in Texas and you aren’t on those streets putting your life on the line, fuck all y’all.

I get the outrage, but these are federal dollars funding a federal detention center on federal property. There are many reasons to hate Texas, but this isn't something where the rest of the country is completely uninvolved and blameless--a bunch of other states elected Trump, as well.

Native heartbroken Texan here; moved away to another state a few months ago; could not bear living in TX a moment longer; moved to save myself (so depressed), though I still see the horror every day in the news. My parents would be devastated; glad they’re no longer here on Earth.

You are not the first person who’s said this about your parents. I agree. My Dad would be losing it.

So sorry sugar. I fled Missouri (Texas North) back to SF months ago. Blue states can’t imagine the sacrifices we’ll make to get out of that vibe. The upper class are headed out of the country. It’s painful as all hell.

I am a very scared trans person living in Texas, working fast food and living paycheck to paycheck with my disabled partner. Fuck you, bitch, go put YOUR life on the line.

Texas was famous over here in Europe for quite a lot of bad stuff even back in the 90s. Although I was a young teenager and not interested in politics at all back then, I was still aware of it.

I am so sorry, I think about your background always. I am stunned how quickly history can & is repeating itself. We must do better & education more honestly when we finally throw taco & his cronies to the curb.

💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😢

Tricia McLaughlin, spokesperson for DHS, stated that, “The facts are ICE is targeting the worst of the worst—including murderers, MS-13 gang members, pedophiles, and rapists.” I could suggest a suspected pedophile and adjudicated rapist that she could put at the top of her list. I have his address.

I find it offensive that they keep referring to this with the euphemism "detention center," when we all know that the correct term is "concentration camp."

I’m so sorry our country did that to you and I’m sorry they are doing it again. It makes me sick

I’m right there with you Judge. Knowing Xxxxx, that’s exactly why it’s there.

I am sorry for your pain. The extremes of this regime continue to bring devastation to so many.

I will always support Mr.Takei . I have your back!

Let’s talk to Germany about reopening Auschwitz.

It's in Gaza

I thought of you immediately. This is wrong on every single level. It needs to end

😞😡🤢💔

Perhaps Dean Cain who is currently training to become an ICE member and whose grandparents were interred here has some wisdom to impart to us about this travesty.

Has Conservative America truly learned nothing?

My heart as well 💔

♥️

Everything is changed, everything is the same…

this really couldn't be any more effed up.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Omg…

Me too

I’m sorry

I hope people take the time to read @georgetakei.bsky.social graphic memoir "They Called Us Enemy".

If anyone is having a hard time finding it, my bookstore had it in the history section!

I wish he'd apply these concepts to ICE as a whole. When Biden was in charge he was making excuses.

Can we pass a law that these places can never be built anymore?

DONALD TRUMP CALLS THE IMMIGRANTS CRIMINALS AND FELONS AND RAPISTS ! BUT DONALD TRUMP IS A CRIMINAL AND A FELON AND A RAPIST !

Rosie O'Donnell speaks about the con man www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/co...

I am so sorry💔

I'm very sorry you and Americans are going through this horrible thing again.

History is only forgotten if it is not taught.

I'm so sorry, sir, that you lived thru this once and are now watching it happen again. It's horrifying.

It’s a damn disgrace. My heart break with you.

Anyone good at fireworks that can celebrate and oopsie it blew up

I am so sorry Geeorge. You have warned us over and over. We aren’t worthy of freedom apparently

I am heartbroken and so sorry you have to see this … again Mr Takei💔

JFC

Unbelievably cruel. I feel so bad for all of the people who are having to relive past trauma. It’s not enough to keep saying that the “cruelty is the point.” While it’s true, it doesn’t stop the monsters who gleefully go along with the evil. It’s time to get rid of them, any way you can.

😢😢😢

your country never learn mr takei, they never learned

excruciatingly traumatizing and I am so sorry you grew up to live in such fear

Considering how quickly Trump and his evil band of fascists are progressing in their plans, the U.S. could become worse than Nazi Germany ever was.

And yet, Congress is still on 'Break'!

💔 Never again, they said. Unfathomable. And #MSM stays mum. Outrageous.

Unconscionable.

I'm SO sorry. This has to bring up very bad memories. Here's to hoping sanity returns 🙏

PTSD. I’m so sorry. 😢

I cannot even begin to imagine what this would feel like to you. 🖤

I am so sorry, George.❤️

I am so upset by all of this.

I thought of you and your family the minute I heard about this. It's devastating to see our country returning to the cruelty, racism, and hatred that you faced years ago. It's a shameful, chapter that should never have been brought back. You've been a spokesman against this and we share this tragedy

I am so sorry this has brought forward so many agonies for you❤️

It’s re-use, after so many years of you telling us about it, makes it seem all the more darker. Have we learned nothing? Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Horrific

“Never again” apparently means, “let’s wait 80 years and try it again.”

That's about the length of time it took for the generation who fought the last bunch of Nazis to die off So many of us around the world are watching this, knowing what comes next, half of a generation cut down to appease the greed of a demented narcicist, and the other half cut down trying to end it

😥😥😥

Literally! They wait for people to forget.

Yes, every four generations. Make sure to train your grandchildren for the next go round.

Keep up the witness, Mr. Takei. The country needs you now more than ever.

Everyone should watch ‘Bad Day At Black Rock’ starring Spencer Tracey.

I used that phrase the other day to someone under 40 and their look was way more than puzzled.

I am so sorry. My heart breaks too. This is awful.

End the concentration camps now.

💔💔💔

We are going over the edge. And crickets. If dem leadership doesn’t resign and isn’t replaced with anyone willing to fight, it’s over.

However, fixing existing Dem leadership is more the answer. There is no time to gather a new Dem team. Just like suggesting that Biden withdraw from the campaign was not a timely decision.

I get that but if they were able or willing, they would have fought by now. We’ve been begging them for years. The certainty that they won’t do anything is a big part of the low polls.

Maybe ask New Polish premier if Auschwitz barracks are available.

Moved to Gaza

Too many have forgotten, or are afraid.

Just awful, George. So sorry.💔

We are unable to learn from our mistakes. 💔

No Trump and republicans can’t learn from history’s mistakes

I am so sorry that you have to see this happen again in your lifetime. You have risen above so much in your life. You are a good man. I wish only love and peace to you and your husband.

Perfectly said, and I say the same. This should NOT be happening, and it makes me sad to see marginalized people targeted by these white supremacists.

Beautifully said and ditto. Love you George. 💙🫶🏼💙🫶🏼💙🫶🏼💙🫶🏼💙🫶🏼💙

I’m sorry that you, your family & so many others went through that and are once again going through it.

My heart breaks with yours. Horrific repeat of history.

Yes, we learned nothing since then. I wasnt able to say it then, but I am so very sorry.

Yeah but you were shilling for Kamala last year George, while she and Biden were in the midst of funding, defending and arming an genocide against 'Arabs'. Do you consider Arab lives less valuable than Japanese lives?

Soo I take it you voted for Trump? Or Comrade Stein? What did they get you?

There was dirty rapist felon Trump and 'I'm Speaking' genocide Kamala. Neither was an option since there is no such thing as a 'better' genocide.

Keep telling yourself they’re both equally the same.

Keep telling yourself Kamala saying nothing when this was released is acceptable.

💔

Their (Stephen Miller’s) cruel irony that repeats history. A new low…

Of that is what trumps moron minions would pick. They have no morals

Trump is a gray alien

I'm so sorry George 😞

... the fuck!

Texas is 1 heck of a shitty state

Mr. Takei so does mine. For you and others like you who survived that time and prayed it would never happen again. my heart breaks that you are witness to this atrocity

I am so sorry this is happening and opening old wounds for you. Sending you warm hugs.

History repeats itself. In a horrible way.

My heart breaks every single day. This fascist government does something to hurt us every day. I’m sick of cruel hearts, cruel souls and cruel actions.

never in my life until now have I wondered about what harm the govt could bring to me or others, they are fulfilling Reagan’s campaign slur ‘the government is your enemy’

Ditto

THIS IS A TRUTH… yes it’s hard to swallow… but if we don’t act now, it’s going to take generations to turn this MAGA MESS around!

Sometimes the USA changes overnight. After the Great Depression, FDR raised taxes to 90%, implemented Social Security and Welfare. It has taken the billionaires 90 years to tear that down. We can do that again.

We really need to do that again, but cyclical history does seem to be what we're dealing with. Take tariffs for instance, everyone who remembers the last time has to literally be dead for anyone to think they're a good idea to implement again.

Thanks for reminding us what we CAN do. It's up to all of us to DO it! Remaining silent is not going to cut it.

Literally. EVERY SINGLE DAY. This is why I can't even watch the news anymore at all. I will literally die from the stress.

I very rarely do anymore. My husband does so I’m always catching the newest horrible things Trump is doing.

I check on here but never turn on msnbc or even look at the bbc news anymore. it's too stressful. I try to check here a maximum of once a day.

I'm so sorry.

🤬

I thought of you when I saw this, George. 😭

OMG! I can't imagine how painful this must be for you and any other survivors. My heart breaks on your behalf. Cruelty beyond belief.

"The 442nd is the most decorated unit for its size and length of service in the history of the US military, with over 4,000 Purple Hearts, 4,000 Bronze Stars, 560 Silver Star Medals, 21 Medals of Honor, and seven Presidential Unit Citations." www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles...

Das ist okay, wir alle haben Tage, an denen wir uns nicht so gut fühlen. Was ist los?

Oh thank the universe my mother is not alive to see this!😭🤬🤯

On the bright side, the next administration will not have to build a detention center for Trump and all those working under him when they all get convicted.

This is all such bullshit

nfw

Sorry is not an adequate word…

My heart goes out to you. A new wound to my dream of what America could be and a healing wound re-opened. What has happened to us?

This is not the time for half measures like "proportional" gerrymandering. They need to be overwhelmed by gerrymandering to the maximum.

Jesus fucking christ.

I am so, so sorry 😔

I'm sure the administration was fully aware of that fact and someone, Like S. Miller, rubbed his hands together, like the villain he is, and said, let's get a two for. We can humiliate the Asian community by using a facility that imprisoned Japanese Americans during WW11 for our current immigrants!

Trump's Maga has no decency at all

Stop breaking, start fighting. Act! Talk is cheap. DO SOMETHING! Trust this german guy, we know a thing or two about far right takeovers. If you don't get off your arses right the fuck now, you won't have to anymore.

💔

My heart breaks for you. You should never have to endure witnessing this cruelest kind of pain again in your lifetime.

I’m so sorry, George.

I’m so very sorry that this brings up such horrible memories for you. I’m such a fan of your work, your voice and your activism. Thank you.

I’m so sorry Mr Takei.

Youre not alone George.

I'm sorry, @georgetakei.bsky.social. On behalf of our country that I really want to love. We've let you down. We've let me down. We've let the world down. But we've let you down a LOT.

💔

There are no words to express how deeply sorry I am that you have to live through this again.

Soulless 😕

yeah, well, history and all that. smacks of the monster's concern for rewriting it. america not bad america not bad. he thinks his sharpie will undo it all.

I am so sorry you have to experience such pain. ☮️

💔

When evil, corrupt, demented, bigoted, hateful people take control, the most horrific history seems to repeat itself. Time to remove the mobster masquerading as a President & all his accomplices & bring them to the “justice” they so well deserve.

My heart breaks with you, George.

💔💔💔

Have we not learned anything?

The soul of this country is dying

Though I cannot know that feeling I think I can imagine. So horrible, in many ways. Gomen nasai, Takei san.

@georgetakei.bsky.social I’m so sorry for the trauma you’ve endured, and that you continue to endure, witnessing once again that humans can be so awful to each other. ❤️

I'm so sorry that this is happening, both for the people currently being targeted and for those, like yourself, who are seeing history repeating and echoing.

Makes me sick to my stomach

Just in case anyone is still unclear on the concept.

I’m so sorry.

Really do you find that surprising. We need some brave Secret Service members.

So much for "never again"...humans that lack empathy don't think of things in terms of a "a time to" or " a time not to". They only think in terms of want and desire stemming from the need to hurt others. Sad, sick, cruel injustices happening again and again because hurt people hurt people 💔

I cannot believe I’m alive to see this grotesque moment in history. Most of my friends and relatives who lived in these camps have passed but the memories live on in the toddlers and babies of this era. Shameful.

It makes me ashamed to be a European American.

I’m so so sorry that you and your family had to endure this. We promised “never again!” Yet here we are!

😱 I have no words to describe how I feel about this!! 🤬

Good for them!

This is depraved.

Im sorry! The gov is the worst!

Dear Uncle George, I’m so sorry for you and all of us! When I heard this news I thought of you and how you must be feeling. This is as heartbreaking as it is terrifying.😞 Sending you love at this awful time.

I’m so sorry, George. This is beyond unconscionable! 🫢😢

JFC

We are slowly all going down a terrible path of indignity at the tiny orange hands of an asshole. Please world round #boycottcocacola please let coke know they once taught the world to sing and we need it once again. #cokenoice

We are in 1935 Germany. The apathy of millions of Americans is chilling.

I believe it’s been intensified by the last decade of social media algorithms. I find it worrying because people have been taught to hate each other based on news feeds and for you pages.

I've been freaking since November. And if we find that the election was truly rigged, then what? Because, seriously, I truly feel it was.

We can't even learn from history. Now the US doesn't want to teach history.
