A blast from the past:
When this image of the Shoyeido Incense Company's storefront in Kyoto, Japan was taken way back in 1907, the company was already some 200 years old.
For a little Western history context, at the time of Shoyeido's founding, England's Queen Anne was just getting around to knighting Sir Isaac Newton, and the American colonies were still decades away from establishing independence.

in reply to Adrianna Tan • • •that ICE and the administration are now doing this to white Europeans is certainly an escalation, but the fundamental problem is, and always has been, that it does this to anyone.
And so long as it retains the ability to do this to anyone, no one is safe. I really, really hope that is made abundantly clear to everyone, because as long as ICE, the infrastructure behind it, the the ideology that led to its creation and current status exist, it will be bad. People will be harmed.
I desperately hope people don’t just take a few token white people being released (if that happens) and move on…
