A sad, shameful part of American history that should, st the very least, remind us all that nothing ever changes but the technology.

Originally shared by Brandon Downey

Dorothea Lange, most known for Migrant Mother, also photographed the internment camps of Japanese Americans during World War II. Her photos were impounded, because they (very clearly) expressed a point of view, and the injustice and abuse of our fellow citizens and human beings was writ by light into the dark frames of the negatives.

Made public years later, they show us the power of a point of view.

I was at Tulelake segregation center on my ride. The place is still used today to house illegal aliens before deportation. Newll California. A bleak desolate nothing. It was barely a wide spot in the road.

Colorado had at least one of these camps and while I've never been to it (I keep meaning to) I have been to a local museum that had a recreation of the barracks found there.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
