In our latest, we speak with Nate Holdren @nhold.bsky.social about how the concept of “gerontocracy” points us away from structural conditions while at the same time reinforcing dominant ideas about disposability

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
Teaser here; in this clip we discuss why it is so important for the left to critically analyze how disposability is produced and reproduced
only 95 days to go until federal medicaid work requirements take effect
This is the second and final episode in a two part response to Samuel Moyn’s book “Gerontocracy in America.” You can find Part 1, a discussion with Gabriel Winant, here:

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

New in the public feed: our live discussion with Silky Shah & A. Naomi Paik on how border policing intersects with health fascism and how to build collective care in an age of escalating repression, from Prairieland to the Minnesota 15 @silkys13.bsky.social @naomipaik.bsky.social
