  • Essential for deepening understanding

    Disability & its intersections with criminalization, gender, race, & medicalization is an under explored & essential lens for both understanding our current moment & how to move towards liberation. I’ve been learning so, so much & recommend this incredibly smart podcast for everyone. Join the Patreon if you can.

  • Experimentation

    Really enjoyed the show. Hope you guys can keep going for as long as possible. I also hope that you guys are following the case in Georgia of a black woman being forced to carry a baby even though she is clinically brain dead and the baby is also showing signs of abnormalities in the womb.

  • Thank you!!

    This podcast has kept me sane and alive through the past five years. Without this podcast I would have fallen for the liberal gaslighting that Biden ended Covid and I would not be here today.

  • Serious education: I listen to each one twice

    These Death Panel folks are providing a powerful critical examination of health policy ( such as it is) in the US. I’m always learning from them. Probably the most important pod I’ve listened to this last 12 months.

    Update years later: better than ever, truer than ever.

Q: What story were you trying to tell about the transformation of the American city?

Enemy Feminisms w/ Sophie Lewis (Re-Air)
Q: Can you lay out the project of the book for us?
The book discusses how to identify and confront feminisms that serve as instruments of reaction, and how to practice a feminism that truly supports liberation.
Workshops for Gaza

The project began as a way to raise money for individuals in Gaza who were in dire need, particularly in the context of the violence and repression faced during recent escalations.
Refusing Genocide, from Palestine to Pandemic w/ Rasha Abdulhadi
Q: How can I vocalize the tension around COVID precautions in pro-Palestinian spaces?

Refusing Genocide, from Palestine to Pandemic w/ Rasha Abdulhadi
Q: What does the 'day after' con mean in the context of genocide?
It refers to the distraction from present genocidal realities to future political scenarios, which often leads to co-optation of demands and can ignore the immediate need for actions against oppression.
