Great little dessert island political organising literature @medicinered.bsky.social Funny how Corbyn era 1.0 was "JC, no surrender, 4 day week and a 3 day bender " and now it's "JC, no surrender, stop enabling a literal genocide". Not that the stakes weren't high before but...

Great episode on the Dialectics of Liberation conference held in London in 1967; a chaotic happening held at the height of sixties counterculture and featuring some of its figureheads, including Allen Ginsburg, Herbert Marcuse, & Stokely Carmichael.

This was (as always) a fantastic and timely episode. Made me think deeply about the injustices of labour in healthcare and the artificial and unhelpful capital-driven divide between those who give and receive care. Highly recommended for anyone interested in health justice.

Was great to chat with @medicinered.bsky.social about histories of worker self-management and the example of the Lucas Plan. Trade unionists used to speak the language of workers' control. We need to learn that language again, and fast. open.spotify.com/episode/1rcn...

LAUNCHING…. The first issue of our new journal – now available to pre-order on The BREAK—DOWN website 👇 linktr.ee/breakdownradio

Another great pod from @medicinered.bsky.social. @jlthorne.bsky.social discusses worker self management - the Lucas Plan, and reaches conclusions congruent with our forthcoming Radical Abundance book. We must move beyond defensive struggle to propositional politics. open.spotify.com/episode/1rcn...

it was a delight to go on the Red Medicine podcast (@medicinered.bsky.social) to talk Winnicott, hatred, how care gets gendered, the affective lives of institutions, the welfare state, the cruelties of neoliberalism, and so much more! linktr.ee/redmedicine....

Americans didn’t always worship at the altar of hustle culture. From 19th-century success pamphlets to gig economy platitudes, our podcast of the week traces the rise of the entrepreneurial work ethic. With @erikmbaker.bsky.social on @medicinered.bsky.social buff.ly/yOoZWK1

as students are being thrown into vans and deported for school paper op eds I can’t help but think about the years many of the most well compensated and secure intellectuals in the US had the courage to sign so many letters about the dangerous climate of left wing censoriousness

With the recent announcement of plans to demolish Grenfell tower (and the lack of consultation with the community), it is ever important to understand how this massacre was enabled in the first place. Red Medicine always do a solid job of unpacking the ways our political economy shapes health.

Peter Apps and Anna Stec unpack the histories of deregulation and privatisation that led to the Grenfell fire as well as the ongoing toxic legacies and dangers it left behind EPISODE 73: GRENFELL TOWER IS STILL BURNING w/ Peter Apps and Anna Stec LINK BELOW !

🚨🚨🚨 the Notes From Below podcast drops today! 👀👀👀 If you enjoyed the interview w/ Callum Cant you need to listen!

Really interesting podcast which puts HIV/AIDS in the broader context of NHS privatisation/NGOisation, Section 28 and homophobia generally, as well as race, gender and international issues. Many links with struggles around trans healthcare today.

Really useful and concise thread about facilitating disagreement and debate within movements

Bedtime listening. Tonight’s podcast. This is excellent; covering a harrowing time in history that was exacerbated by institutional homophobia and state abandonment.

This is well worth a listen for anyone interested in organising the workplace (which should be all of you tbh).

Callum Cant describes the history of workers inquiry, a form of research in which workers take the lead, and explains why it should be central to our movements. EPISODE 71: WORKERS INQUIRY IN THE CARE ECONOMY LINK BELOW !

I reviewed Burnout by Hannah Proctor, one of the best books I read in 2024

“In an era like our own, replete with collapsologist rhetoric & other shared nihilisms, the capacity to think dialectically may well be—like sewing or the cultivation of medicinal herbs—one of those skills that would be wise to relearn as we begin to build a post-productionist world” ! Kristin Ross

there's no episode this week (I got my schedule mixed up) but I did write a post about some of the books I read this year (that didn't end up on the podcast)... featuring Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Eric Hobsbawm, Gillian Rose, and many more! redmedicine.substack.com/p/reflection...

very exciting delivery today... new one from Malcolm Harris

Daniel Penny acquitted after literally killing someone on camera for being disruptive on the train the same day a person of interest in the shooting of a shitbag healthcare exec gets grabbed pretty succinctly sums up who in this country is allowed to kill and who they’re allowed to kill.

something that is especially clear if you have studied colonialism a bit: a load bearing aspect of maintaining even a semblance of democracy (or defending a sitting autocracy from democracy) is having a military that is unwilling to kill its own citizens

I really enjoyed talking to Sam about my book Radical Acts for the Red Medicine podcast. You can listen to it here!
