Worms in food, poor medical care, lights on 24/7: Families tell of life in Texas detention center
When ICE officers in Minneapolis detained a 5-year-old boy and his father last month and sent them to a Texas detention center, many Americans were alarmed.
Thereβs a reason the children being held captive at Dilley have been heard screaming βlet us outβ.
One girl tried to kill herself.
Many stop eating.
Little Liam Ramosβs health declined in a matter of days.
A toddler ended up in the ICU.
Close the camp. Now.

The artist and producer yuniVERSE, a young Indonesian-Australian woman, performs on a stage with large flowers. She lies on stage equipment and wears a white, high quality mask decorated with beautiful and original metal swirls. She wears a black tank top, a black fishnet top, a skirt, and a large bedazzled belt. She presses the microphone to her mask. The text reads, βThe Sick Times. These artists are making concerts safer with COVID-19 precautions. By Katie Chow."
I think ultimately weβre a subculture, but instead of being centered around a style of clothing or music, weβre centered on anti-ableism, and it makes our commitment more powerful. βΒ Camille Mai, Rebirth Canal
While most of the music industry has βmoved on,β COVID-conscious performers have been working to prevent their shows from being superspreaders. Read more from @katiechow.bsky.social: bit.ly/3ZIW4YQ

It is unconscionable that respirators are not standard operating procedure in medical settings. We should not have to beg for safe air.

You can become disabled or homeless in an instant.
Even if youβre young and healthy.
Even if you have a βgood jobβ and a back up plan.
Even if you think youβre doing everything right.
Disability and poverty are not moral failings.
They can happen to anyone.

Five different illustrations from artists with Long COVID in round shapes on a black background. White text with purple highlights reads, βThe Sick Times. Drawing the elephant: Nine artists illustrating Long COVID and the ongoing pandemic. By Grae Salisbury."
Illustrators who bravely explore the ongoing pandemic in their work break down stereotypes, contextualize differing experiences, build community, and raise awareness. These artists create spaces where audiences can reflect and engage with stories that can broaden our understanding of ourselves and the world. In this way, art is not only a community-building tool, but also functions as a βmirrorβ: for those who struggle to look directly at the elephant in the room, they can engage with its reflection. β Grae Salisbury
"These artists have helped me remember that my life is valuable and worth protecting."
Grae Salisbury, an artist with #LongCOVID, rounded up some of their favorite illustrators who bravely explore the ongoing pandemic in their work. bit.ly/4jQ2gY9

bringing this back around as infections surgeβprotecting yourself and others around you is a courageous act, even when it obscures oneβs face. the act of obscuring the face is not inherently shameful, but using non-medical face coverings (ie gaiters) to evade consequences for disappearing people is.

When I talk about covid, ICE, imperialism, or capitalism, I must remember that I'm late to the party. Marginalized people have been fighting this fight long before me or my awareness. It may not end in my lifetime either, but that will not deter me.

They shot an unarmed white woman in broad daylight.
Imagine what theyβre doing to undocumented people trapped in ICE camps.
Thereβs sexual assault. Thereβs denial of medical care. Thereβs forced labour. Thereβs torture.
More than 30 people have died.
Abolish ICE.

this action does not exist in a vaccuumβthis tit for tat is immediately downstream of covid denial; the dregs of government support are contingent upon eugenic conformity.

Disabled people are not expendable.
The elderly are not expendable.
Children are not expendable.
Worth should never be tied to economic productivity.
If we protected the most vulnerable in society, everyone would be better off.
