Will be weighing in on the ACA debacle when we can but today’s show feels quite topical: a liberal party rushes to the right, abandons its base and its own interests, and puts care in jeopardy for the people whose health is already most harmed by capitalism

First 25min here: soundcloud.com/deathpanel/t...

In our latest, we discuss the fate of the NHS since the neoliberal turn and the Labour party’s dismal 10 year plan to turn the NHS into “an engine for economic growth” and “the most AI enabled care system the world” with special guest @medicinered.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/143208...

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, 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

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...

On the hit podcast @deathpanel.bsky.social, @benchansfield.bsky.social discusses their new book, *Born in Flames: The Business of Arson and the Remaking of the American City.*

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.

Find Bench’s book, Born in Flames: The Business of Arson and the Remaking of the American City, here: bookshop.org/a/118130/978...

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

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.

"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...

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

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 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.

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...

In our latest, we speak with @lalouverouge.bsky.social about what it means to build solidarity with young people at a time when the right demands we "protect" children by denying their trans identities, censoring their educations, banning books, and more www.patreon.com/posts/141679...

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

I would rather get a daily push notification from whoever it is you think is the most annoying person making you feel the worst about not masking than ever having to deal with long Covid, which I’m still recovering from.

If you gave up masking long ago, you can start anytime. “But none of my friends do.” Think back: did some of your friends “just disappear” in 2021 and stop planning hang outs with you?

I talked with @reallandsend.bsky.social on @deathpanel.bsky.social about Read This When Things Fall Apart and helping each other stay in the struggle. ❤️

First 20min here: soundcloud.com/deathpanel/t...

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...

hello, my reading group for Workshops4Gaza is starting a new book: "Health Communism" by @avierkant.bsky.social and @reallandsend.bsky.social please buy the book ASAP (or get it *some other way*, and try to support Palestinians however you can)

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...

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.

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

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...

❤️‍🔥

In our latest, we discuss a disturbing set of arguments that evidence of famine in Gaza—and genocide deaths themselves—can be invalidated by showing that the victims had “pre-existing conditions” or “underlying health conditions” soundcloud.com/deathpanel/c...

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...

What do Trump’s threats to “invade” cities & expand encampment sweeps have to do with Palantir-linked think tank the Cicero Institute? On the @deathpanel.bsky.social podcast, In These Times investigative reporter @rebeccaburns.bsky.social breaks it down. 🎧 Listen: 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

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...

What if healthcare weren’t a job perk or a profit scheme, but a human right? That’s the vision of Health Communism. A 🧵1/4 🔗 inthesetimes.com/article/heal...

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 🖤
