Hey y’all just a polite request from your local Tumblr Japanese-American: if you’re reblogging vintage antifascist Dr. Seuss comics, please look in the background and make sure there aren’t any racist Japanese caricatures before you hit the reblog button. Because he drew a LOT of them. As usual for the era, the cartoons against the Japanese Imperial forces went far into anti-Asian racism in a way that the anti-German stuff never could. He also produced pro-internment images.
This isn’t a “call-out” post of any sort, just please be aware so you don’t accidentally reblog any racist images out of lack of familiarity with the 1940s visual tropes.
Holy shit what
Dr. Seuss did unfortunately support the internment of Japanese Americans and made a lot of racist cartoons involving them during/immediately after the war. He also spent the rest of his life trying to make up for it. The story Horton Hears a Who was meant as part of an apology, a lot of his storied after that reflect similar sentiments too. I’m not on my computer but when I get home I can source it for you if you need. I think its a fairly nice story, he learned and then used his career to try to teach others to do the same. Doesn’t change the fact that those comics still do exist though…
who could have imagined that the resistance against trump would be led by Teen Vogue, Merriam-Webster Dictionary and the National Park Service

Help Stop DAPL and Keystone XL
This morning, Donald Trump signed an executive order clearing the way for the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) and the Keystone XL oil pipelines to move forward.
In North Dakota, the DAPL has been opposed vehemently by the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and other Native American groups, as construction will run under Lake Oahe, which the tribes depend on for water reserves. The Obama Administration stopped the project in December, but Trump’s action will start the project back up.
The Keystone XL project was halted by President Obama, as it poses a major threat to the climate. According to the NY Time: the project would carry tar sands crude oil which is difficult to extract and therefore has a detrimental effect to the environment, causing intensive greenhouse gas emissions.
Today we are asking you to donate to the organizations that will attempt to stop these projects via legal action and inform yourselves about the fight ahead. Because Trump signed an executive order, he has bypassed Congress, therefore it is up to the Courts to stop these dangerous actions.
– The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has set up a Legal Defense Fund to assist with the costs involved in litigation. Please consider donating to the Sacred Stone Legal Defense Fund.
– The American Civil Liberty Union will be dedicating resources to fight the Trump Administration in Court. We strongly urge you to donate even a small amount to the ACLU, or become an annual member by donating $50. The ACLU released a strong statement today denouncing Trump’s actions as a threat to liberty: https://www.aclu.org/news/president-trump-issues-executive-order-allowing-construction-dakota-access-pipeline.
– Sign up to receive updates from NextGen, an initiative set up to stop climate change. Founder Tom Steyer today issued a statement saying: "The pipelines are all risk and no reward, allowing corporate polluters to transport oil through our country to be sold on the global market, while putting our air and water at serious risk.“ You an find out more information about NextGen’s attempts to stop the Keystone XL Pipeline here: https://nextgenclimate.org/stopping-xl/.
– Educate Yourself – There is an amazing factsheet put together by Jenna Amatulli about the DAPL to provide you more information about that project: https://www.scribd.com/document/331975730/DAPL-Factsheet
