I think a lot about Emerson's quote, "the corruption of man is followed by the corruption of language" (Nature).
With this in mind, I ask that people not use "Alligator Alcatraz" to identify the concentration camp in Florida. Do not use the language of the fascists. It masks (like the ICE agents who wear them) the reality of what is happening. Don't let them do that.
