thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

In our latest, @reallandsend.bsky.social & @city.bsky.social are joined by Lara Sheehi & @reproutopia.bsky.social of @wawog.bsky.social to discuss withholding cultural production and why they organized a boycott to refuse to write for New York Times Opinion on.soundcloud.com/DgEAPtszHsiR...

I think there's a lot of people on bsky today that weren't ready to learn that "conservative feminism" exists. Luckily I listen to the Death Panel and already knew about it so I didn't need to sit down when I saw that headline.

In our latest, we speak with @benchansfield.bsky.social about “riot prone areas,” moral hazard, how landlords burned the Bronx in the 1970s, and their new book Born in Flames: The Business of Arson and the Remaking of the American City www.patreon.com/posts/142681697

Truly an honor to have a chance to finally talk about @benchansfield.bsky.social’s pathbreaking book together & think deeply about the ways that the institution of insurance (doesn’t just reflect but) actually upholds and reproduces the popular imaginary of racial capitalism as common sense

I got to talk with two of the smartest people I know -- @reallandsend.bsky.social and @city.bsky.social -- about BORN IN FLAMES. Check out the latest @deathpanel.bsky.social here

In our latest, against a backdrop of the Trump administration’s attempted occupation of Chicago, we speak with @mskellymhayes.bsky.social about holding together in times of rising fascism and her new edited collection Read This When Things Fall Apart www.patreon.com/posts/141148...

This was a great conversation and I appreciate @deathpanel.bsky.social for giving me the space to say a lot of what I’m feeling at this moment. Check it out if can!

This is a wonderful conversation to listen to, especially if you are combating your own despair or the fatalism of the people around you.

If you are a health care worker or part of a community health project, harm reduction group or mental health peer support, and are looking for support or to connect/join with others in this, you can also reach out to our free Beyond Do No Harm Health Care Consult:

If you want to learn more, check out our reading list to get started. If you're a health care provider committed to your oath to do no harm and are looking for support, connection and strategies around resisting criminalization and not complying in advance, check out our Beyond Do No Harm network:

These are prisons. The criminalization of homelessness and push towards mandated, coerced medical interventions and civil commitment—a bipartisan project—was always going to lead us here. This is why when we talk about, strategize and organize around abolition, we must include ALL carceral spaces.

This is also why we've been organizing with health care workers through our Beyond Do No Harm Network—workers can and should refuse to participate in criminalizing and harming people in the context of care. Our co-founder @dreanyc123.bsky.social discusses this in this @deathpanel.bsky.social episode

"As students and members of Beyond Prisons, a teaching and learning initiative that addresses the injustices caused by mass incarceration, we were shocked to learn last week that the University’s budget cuts would lead to the ending of our program." chicagomaroon.com/48983/viewpo...

After a brutal first trimester of pregnancy, I’d been blessed with *months* of relief from my usual routine stomach sickness symptoms…until last night. Being miserably ill on top of being chronically ill, with a baby, is its own special circle of hell.

We are offering one time payments to disabled folks in the South who will not receive their SNAP benefits this month. If you need help, please find more information and details at ndsdj.org/snaphelp. If you’d like to donate to the fund, go to ndsdj.org/snapdonate We take care of each other ❤️

"In less than 36 hours since we announced that we will be sending payments to disabled SNAP recipients in the South—$100 to individuals and $250 to households—we have received more than 12,400 applications, totaling $2.7 million in requests." - they have to close the form tomorrow... no way to cover

Now unlocked: we speak with William C. Anderson about taking action now and not being led to despair or resignation by the churn of the electoral cycle, and his recent essay, “Another way out: Fighting back against inaction” on.soundcloud.com/Dvx4pAxbaeDi...

Was a pleasure to talk to @reallandsend.bsky.social about my book last week!

This is the book I’ve always wanted! Can’t wait to use it with my youth work students.

This was a great episode and a wonderful salve if you're feeling run down by certain aspects of the recent discourse. Very happy to see it in the main feed so I can recommend it to folks.

@deathpanel.bsky.social + @workshops4gaza.bsky.social 💜🇵🇸😷

In our latest, we speak with @workshops4gaza.bsky.social about their work redirecting funds to keep people alive in Palestine, the need to stand up to free the movement’s political prisoners, and more on.soundcloud.com/NNw9iO7ABgX9...

Thank you for getting that ours is a political project, for which supporting Palestinian mutual aid work in Gaza AND freeing political prisoners in Palestine and the imperial core are inextricably linked. We plan to continue working until liberation, which isn’t granted by colonizers, but is won.

The convo we had with Beatrice @deathpanel.bsky.social clarifies how we understand universities in the imperial core and contextualizes our call for boycott of conferences like the Association for Asian American Studies next in occupied Hawai'i. (we see you too, ASA in PR!) bsky.app/profile/deat...

Transcript for our episode with @workshops4gaza.bsky.social here: www.deathpanel.net/transcripts/...

Listening to this episode now and it's so useful in thinking about ways to be "working against the genocide in all aspects of your life" as @reallandsend.bsky.social says.

happy birthday to @avierkant.bsky.social my partner and collaborator in basically everything—cohost, coauthor, and now coparent. grateful every day to be in this messy, beautiful struggle of life together 🖤

In our latest, we break down the Trump administration's latest attacks on covid vaccines, key moments from RFK's Senate testimony last week, and why calls to force RFK out of HHS need to include removing many of the figures he's managed to bring in with him www.patreon.com/posts/138451663

A refusal to seriously address racism is why everyone is here. I don't know what to tell you.

There’s a passage in Pedagogy of the Oppressed that feels directly relevant to the way some people wag their tongues about “family abolition.” Freire warns about the oppressor-convert: the one who claims to speak for the people but cannot bring themselves to actually trust the people 🪡

Re-upping this awesome thread on family abolition by Beatrice❤️ It (the discussion abt family abolition and so on) has genuinely renewed my understanding/vision of communism!
