So Miller has been trying to use VZ as an excuse for years.
I agree with @asharangappa.bsky.social that he's using war to reverse engineer domestic repression.

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

Venezuela is a country larger than Ukraine with a lot of difficult terrain. Insane that anyone thinks we are going to murder 200+ fishermen/low-level drug runners and an entrenched dictatorship is going to roll over. Not only is it immoral and unconstitutional, but it will be a quagmire.

and then to keep it in mind as we hear similar rhetoric directed at other people. Thank you so much for this important work. You are a hero of mine! I admire so much the Japanese Americans who fought against this treatment and who demanded more from our country....

Anti-Japanese racism was a destructive force in our family, sadly. I didn't know why she believed these things and now I do. I asked my three kids to listen to this series and to imagine all of us on the trains because they would have been sent away, too...to really picture how it would feel...

She could not shake the belief that the internment was necessary to protect the homeland. I realized immediately that I, too, would have been interned along with my mom and sister. My grandmother told me the very propaganda stories that are in episode 3 to justify it. 2/3

Thank you for this work. I was 17 when I first learned about the imprisonment of Japanese Americans and legal immigrants. I was so shocked by it. I am half-Japanese (dad is white from Oregon, mom from Kyushu). My American grandmother was opposed to their marriage her entire life 1/2

I'll admit that I'm partial to it because one of the heroes of the story is an archive hound named Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga who uncovers the smoking gun that exposed the racist lie that justified internment.
