If you want to write a book, make a film, paint, make music, or make any kind of art, just do it. Don’t worry about the what ifs or the doubts or the obstacles or the fears. Just write the book. Write the song. Make the movie.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
