What a wonderful entre in your Wondercab Mini! Just this week I participated in an online conference organized by WOLA and the National Security-Archives to draw lessons on forced disappearances and comparisons with the abduction of non-nationals considered deportable by executive fiat. It was attended by close to 500 persons and will be circulated soon, I believe.
Anyway, I loved your article and I am sharing it with my other panelists and organizers. Hope to see you soon.

Lawrence, I’ve known Laurel most of my life - my father was the Dean of the College of Fine Arts at UND in the 70’s when Laurel was just starting the Museum. She blew my little mind back then with her shows at the Student Union and I’ve had the pleasure of continuing our friendship throughout the years, and being constantly entranced by the work she has chosen to show. The museum is poised to carry on this legacy of presenting challenging work - so important in times like these. Thank you for your tribute to Laurel and your contribution to this very important dialogue. As I tell my friends who feel overwhelmed by the dark turns we find ourselves cast into, Art Harder!! Warm regards, John Colle Rogers
Incredible Wren. Reading this brought tears to my eyes. My Argentine love lies asleep next to me while I worry about my birth country. We are all connected and intertwined.
