Show notes

Jules speaks about her book A Short History of Trans Misogyny, the need to integrate material analysis into trans politics, and how it is that such a (relatively) small population of people have become the subject of such a high degree of political ire. Transcript forthcoming. This episode was recorded live at the 2024 Socialism Conference in Chicago in early September. We collaborated with conference organizers to host five discussions there over labor day weekend. Today's episode is the final recording to be released from those sessions.

Show notes

Liat Ben-Moshe, Sasha Warren, and Leah Harris discuss the political economy of psychiatric incarceration and strategies for resisting surveillance and carcerality that center liberatory care and international solidarities.

Teaser - One Year / Body Politics (10/07/24) Oct 08, 2024

Show notes

Subscribe on Patreon and hear this week's full patron-exclusive episode here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/113438086 Today, Death Panel are joining the calls of organizers around the world to strike for Palestine. As such, today's Death Panel is an episode in two parts: Part One — One Year (0:00:00 - 0:20:45) A statement on one year of genocide from us at Death Panel through parts of three texts from the past year. Part Two — Body Politics w/ Jasbir Puar (originally released November 21st, 2022) Beatrice and Jules speak with Jasbir Puar about the violent global effects of settler colonialism and how they shape our understanding of what we mean by “disability” and “debility.” We discuss how events like the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the bombings in 2014 are often described through the number of dead, when they also entail mass disablement and mass debilitation, and how colonial occupation itself can be understood through a theory of debility.

Carewashing w/ Mon Mohapatra, Tracy Rosenthal & Victoria Law (DP x S24) (10/03/24) Oct 03, 2024

Show notes

Beatrice speaks with Mon Mohapatra, Tracy Rosenthal and Victoria Law about how the rhetorics of “care,” support, and empathy are often deployed to expand and reinforce carcerality—to make carcerality appear innocuous, or even an expansion of social welfare and public health. Transcript forthcoming. This episode was recorded live at the 2024 Socialism Conference in Chicago in early September, under the session title "Carewashing: Carcerality Disguised as Social Welfare." We collaborated with conference organizers to host five discussions there over labor day weekend. Recordings and transcripts of those sessions will be released over the coming weeks. Note: As speakers were not introduced individually before their opening statements, those statements are in the order listed in the title (Mon, Tracy, then Victoria).

Teaser - Concepts of a Risk Pool (09/30/24) Oct 01, 2024

Show notes

Subscribe on Patreon and hear this week's full patron-exclusive episode here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/113089961 Beatrice, Artie and Phil discuss the deeper problems behind JD Vance’s recent comments that Trump wants to separate the sick into their own “risk pool,” and how the US’s system of private healthcare itself generates resentment towards the sick. Then we take a close look at Medicaid unwinding, as some of the final unwinding data now shows that 25 million people were disenrolled from Medicaid in the last year—millions more than originally estimated.
