in honor of it getting colder here’s a poem by Nikki Giovanni “about” the cold coming in which is ALSO a fantastic study in enjambment and how to end a poem!!! (this is from her collected works)
Hampton, Virginia
by Nikki Giovanni

the birds flew south
earlier this year 
and flowers wilted under the glare 
of frost
nature puts her house in order

the weather report says this
Will be the coldest winter
already the perch have burrowed
deep into the lakes
and the snails are six instead
of three feet under

I quilted myself
one blanket and purchased five 
pounds of colored popcorn
in corners i placed dried
flowers and in my bathroom a jar
of lavender smells
my landlord stripped my windows
and i cut all my old sox for feet pads

they say you should fight the cold with the cold
but since i never do anything right 
i called you

From another article: despite it being a huge number of people, no one knows the actual number. english.elpais.com/usa/2025-09-...
However, it is unclear how many people have been deported from the site or transferred to other immigration detention centers. Some detainees told the Miami Herald that authorities are pressuring them to voluntarily agree to deportation, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said in late July that about 100 had been deported from the site.

This was somehow a flash in the pan headline in all the chaos last week, but throwing out there that at this rate this would be in the vicinity of 50k people vanishing from the face of the earth over the remainder of the term. And this is before they use that newly allocated $75B to fully scale up.
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald. The Herald had obtained the names from
two detainee rosters.
Around 800 detainees showed no record on ICE's online database. More than 450 listed no location and only instructed the user to "Call ICE for details" — a vague
notation that attorneys said could mean that a detainee is still being processed, in the middle of a transfer between two sites or about to be deported.

Oh, and for the record: the Economist article was put together and published without any input from the study's authors, who clearly pegged it as a hack job.
What do Dr Olson and her co-authors make of all this? In an email, one of the researchers, Benjamin deMayo, “politely” declined to discuss the matter. “Not interested, thanks,” said Dr Olson.
