    ICE OUT w/ Members of LATU (Re-Air)

    Beatrice and Tracy speak with Zoie and Kevin of the LA Tenants Union about their work organizing community defense against raids by ICE and Border Patrol, how they came to set up the first Centro de Defensa Communitaria, and lessons they can share for other organizers wanting to take on the same work as ICE raids expand across the US. This episode was originally released December 4th and is being re-aired today as ICE continues to be a pressing threat and as organizers in places like Minneapolis grapple with how to keep momentum up as months go on and as the national spotlight moves away.

    Resisting Carceral Sanism w/ Liat Ben-Moshe & Leah Harris (Re-Air)

    This episode was originally released in fall 2023 and is being re-aired today in light of discourse surrounding carceral approaches to public space and recent attacks on the term "carceral sanism" itself. To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod Beatrice, Liat Ben-Moshe, and Leah Harris discuss the increasing wave of policies and legislation, from Eric Adams’ stance on involuntary hospitalization to Gavin Newsom’s Care Courts, that seek to criminalize madness and people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. They also discuss why it is so critical for the left to work against these policies, and how to understand the politics of what we have termed “carceral sanism.” This episode was originally recorded live as part of the 2023 Socialism Conference, organized by Haymarket Books.

    The Anti-State State w/ Ruth Wilson Gilmore and Craig Gilmore (Unlocked)

    This episode was originally released January 26th for Death Panel patrons and is being unlocked today for the first time. To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod In the shadow of the federal occupation of Minneapolis and a year of catastrophic expansion of the carceral state, Beatrice speaks with Ruth Wilson Gilmore and Craig Gilmore about their concept of “the anti-state state,” the process of the state’s transition from supporting social welfare to policing its provision, and why abolition is the only way. For further discussion of fascism and the anti-state state we recommend this week's patron episode with Alberto Toscano, which was directly spurred on by this episode with Ruthie and Craig.
