In today’s episode, we return to our conversation about Trump’s early push to expand involuntary commitment, with a new introduction on the administration’s recent attacks on Section 504 and Olmstead
In today’s episode, we walk through what studies show are the health impacts of data centers on the communities they're built in and why the dramatic rise of anti-data center sentiment can't be dismissed as a "moral panic”—now unlocked

explaining to my toddler that we pay a lot of money for health insurance which pays for our healthcare, but also we have to pay the doctor for healthcare until we pay enough money for the health insurance to start paying for our healthcare but even then we still pay the doctor

a strategically useful way to think through border policing and detention is as an attack on the infrastructures people need to survive. @silkys13 and @ANaomiPaik joined us at the @socialismconf to talk ICE, counterinsurgency, care, abolition, migration, and what tf is to be done❤️🔥

really proud of this conversation from our @socialismconference.org session w @vickyacab.bsky.social & @slamble1.bsky.social about trans care in the age of health fascism—especially the discussion of how frame of protection/safety can become a means of imposing prohibition, coercion & deprivation
Finally catching up on some pods I got behind on… this episode is soooooo good. Nuanced, critical discussion that explodes assumptions & binaries around DIY vs institutional care as well as the insidiousness of the commodification of care… and more.
one of the hardest strategic questions we routinely face is how to organize across/in spite of real material conflicts of interest without denying that they exist. I really enjoyed having @gabrielwinant.bsky.social back on to talk about gerontocracy, class, age, care & what mass politics requires
In our latest, we speak with Gabriel Winant @gabrielwinant.bsky.social about the idea popular in some circles that we live in a “gerontocracy” and whether and how age could be understood to act as a mediator of class

" . . . and then distributes resources for survival according to those judgements of virtue and worth and value. So the hierarchy then appears natural and its consequences appear natural and incidental."

This quote from @reallandsend.bsky.social was so incisive I had to write it down: "It's about what happens when bourgeois ideology repeatedly converts unequal social and political relations into evidence of individual virtue . . . (continued)"
