In our latest, @reallandsend.bsky.social & @city.bsky.social speak with @rebeccaburns.bsky.social about how Trump’s threats to invade cities to combat “endemic vagrancy” echo the policies of the Cicero Institute, a right wing think tank run by a co-founder of Palantir www.patreon.com/posts/137338...

The handling of yellow fever in New Orleans is one of the most illuminating and specific case studies relevant to the 2021-present moment one can find in recent annals of history

This month’s @inthesetimes.com features Health Communism in @leftiecowboy.bsky.social’s Big Ideas column—we appreciate the care taken in engaging our work & translating it into such a great distillation (no easy feat lol)—health communism is the antidote to MAHA & is needed now more than ever 🖤

In today’s episode, we revisit our discussion with Kathryn Olivarius about the economy and social structure that emerged around yellow fever in antebellum New Orleans and the ecosystem of deniers, capitalists, and novel theories of "immunity" that shaped it www.patreon.com/posts/136779...

This is how extractive abandonment works: the state refuses to provide the material conditions for life, then exploits the fallout to build new systems of capture. In this case, the executive order calls for funding expansions in involuntary treatment programs, civil commitment, and carceral housing

It took us a while to get our Murder Bill ep up, and we've been thinking about what the GOP’s budget bill actually does—not just the cuts, but the structural transformation it sets in motion. It’s going to remake the health system. We got into it in this week’s episode.

As @reallandsend.bsky.social says on @deathpanel.bsky.social: “Medicare for all now, solidarity forever, stay alive another week.” ICYMI Bea & @avierkant.bsky.social spoke at the 2025 @socialismconference.org in Chicago & it was a barn burner: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d... CC @wbai.org

"This is a call to healthcare workers: betray your training when your training demands cruelty. If it means someone gets what they need to live—betray your bosses, your licensing board, your EMR, your scope of practice...." - @deathpanel.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/blindarc...

Really powerful analysis about the declining state of the already-gutted Healthcare system of the so called US from the comrades at @deathpanel.bsky.social at the 2025 Socialism Conference in Chicago. By "declining," I mean like a WW1 biplane on fire in a nosedive. open.substack.com/pub/blindarc...

Not timely anymore in the interest of being thorough. Come for discussion of how this opens up the field to much bigger demands than the typical Democrat health policy tweaks, stay to catch baby death panel laugh at Ezekiel Emmanuel on mic

Very clarifying and inspiring intro by @avierkant.bsky.social on facing health fascism on the latest @deathpanel.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The paperback ed. of hosts of the Death Panel podcast’s Beatrice Adler Bolton and Artie Vierkant’s Health Communism is now available for preorder thru our online bookstore. All proceeds to the Sameer Project’s medical campaign: open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com/collections/...

“It’s not just a symbol, it’s a threat; it’s an echo of every settler fantasy, every white supremacist dream that imagines the land itself as a weapon against the people that they want to disappear” — @reallandsend.bsky.social

Great breakdown and episode with @melissagiragrant.com about the rapid construction of a concentration camp in #Florida that is pushing to create a zone of exception for extreme brutality.

In our latest, @melissagiragrant.com joins to discuss “Alligator Alcatraz”: what it means under swelling ICE budgets, how it reflects a fascist fantasy of the landscape itself as an arm of carceral enforcement, and the long history of resistance on the same land www.patreon.com/posts/134133...

Why is it so hard to imagine a world where care is free, universal & unconditional? Because the current system teaches us that care must be earned, health is a private matter, and dependence is failure. Health Communism traces the roots of that lie and how people have fought it.

“The American concentration camp on view Tuesday was erected within the Big Cypress National Preserve, traditional Miccosukee land…An executive order issued by DeSantis cited a nonexistent ‘emergency’ to get around the legal process for building on the site.”

made me think of things that are important to me, e.g., the complete lack of any real respect for our non-human relatives and the settler obsession with “nature” as other & DeSantis’s/US’s commitment to desperately clawing against the reality that south FL is *part of the Afro-Caribbean world*

Absolutely gonna give this a listen...

On this week’s patron episode of Death Panel, I talk with @melissagiragrant.com about her recent reporting on the new ICE camp that just opened in the Everglades, and how it fits into a longer story of racialized detention, carceral infrastructure, and the theatrical production of cruelty.
