Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

While the Department of Justice is meeting in secret with Ghislaine Maxwell to coach her on testimony, it is hiding from us three discs containing court-authorized recordings of her phone calls. [Source: ABC News] That is the REAL evidence. And this is a cover-up.

As promised, in light of the WaPo report of Everglades camp detainees being swarmed by mosquitoes in the shower and unable to sleep at night due to being bitten, I want to briefly address concentration camp history and mosquitoes. I won't be comprehensive but will give a few examples. [1/17]

In the heart of the Everglades, an immigrant detention center is being erected atop sacred ground. This is a gross human rights violation that will continue to separate families, abduct immigrants from their communities, and leave detained immigrants without dignity.

Historians call it “willful ignorance” when Germans said “we didn’t know” as their neighbors disappeared.
But Americans do know.
About the raids.
The camps.
The mass deportations.
Silence now isn’t ignorance.
It’s complicity.

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details.
Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.
