All new guest essay for the DVP by Shannon Pagdon:

“When coercion in care makes Kilmeade’s ‘just kill ’em’ thinkable”

disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2025/09/26/w...
Photo of a memorial plaque at Tiergartenstraße 4 in Berlin. The inscription reads: “Honor to the forgotten victims. At this site, at Tiergartenstraße 4, the first National Socialist mass murder was organized starting in 1940, named after this address: Aktion T4. From 1939 to 1945, almost 200,000 defenseless people were killed. Their lives were described as ‘unworthy of life,’ their murder called euthanasia. They died in the gas chambers of Grafeneck, Brandenburg, Hartheim, Pirna, Bernburg, and Hadamar; they died by firing squads, by deliberate starvation, and by poison. The perpetrators were scientists, doctors, nurses, members of the judiciary, the police, and of the health and labor administrations. The victims were poor, desperate, defiant, or in need of help. They came from psychiatric clinics and children’s hospitals, from nursing homes and welfare institutions, from military hospitals and camps. The number of victims was vast; the number of perpetrators convicted was very small.”

Patty Berne, my comrade is now on the ancestral plane. Here are my remarks from Patty’s celebration of life

disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2025/08/09/i...
Patty Berne,a Japanese-Haitian person with light brown skin, smiles playfully with love and light shining from their brown eyes. They wear an off the shoulder opalescent blue dress and an amethyst pendant. Their brown hair is pulled back into their signature two buns. Behind Patty is a pink background with radiant red and yellow flowers. At the top of the image, iridescent capital letters spell out “PATTY LIVES THROUGH US.” On the bottom right corner is Sins Invalid’s logo, a black rectangular box with white letters that read “Sins Invalid.”
