Death Panel
@DeathPanel_
left politics & policy podcast w/ @realLandsEnd @avierkant @philiprocco @gp_jls | Medicare for All now—solidarity forever http://discord.gg/UWuTjF8
In our latest, we discuss the GOP “Murder Bill,” explain the enormity of its cuts to Medicaid and brazen attacks on trans care, and how Trump’s FDA is trying to eradicate the covid vaccines patreon.com/posts/129947873
We also get into the longer history of the Everglades which the Trump admin is portraying as empty wastes, the role of settler colonialism in shaping who is made disposable, and how environmental disaster and carceral expansion are being fused into a single governing logic.

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.
New Episode of @DeathPanel_ —The Pro-Infection Presidency w/ Jane Thomason ift.tt/f0Jr5Te
This is an excellent discussion! I especially loved the attention to the physical & conceptual landscape of the concentration camp: its place in the Everglades, the spectral terror of alligators. I would add one thing to the framework that @realLandsEnd & @melissagira use here:
On this week’s patron episode of Death Panel, I talk with @melissagira about her recent reporting on the new ICE camp just opened in the Everglades, and how it fits into a longer story of racialized detention, carceral infrastructure, and the theatrical production of cruelty.

We talk about how “Alligator Alcatraz” functions as infrastructure & spectacle, both a physical site & a symbol—of empire in decline, fascist fantasy & modern colonial statecraft. The press tours, MAGA hats, racist gator branding, it’s all intended to signal impunity & scale.
In our latest, @melissagira 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 patreon.com/posts/134133903

“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
