Runtime 1:58:19 Original description: Beatrice, Artie and Tracy discuss the potential impacts of a Trump executive order called “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets,” which threatens to dramatically expand involuntary psychiatric commitment and make it easier for the government to disappear people off the streets, allegedly in the name of “compassion.” This episode originally aired under the title, "Empty Rights and Underlying Conditions."

Subscribe on Patreon and hear this week's full patron episode here: https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod/posts/170643206 Beatrice speaks with Nate Holdren about how the concept of “gerontocracy” points us away from structural conditions while at the same time reinforcing dominant ideas about disposability being tied to ability, capacity and age, and why it is so important for the left to critically analyze how that disposability is produced and reproduced.

Families are separated, communities destabilized, and care networks fractured through the constant threat of detention. Beatrice Adler-Bolton, Silky Shah and A. Naomi Paik discuss border policing as a counterinsurgent attack on health, and how to defend and rebuild collective care in an era of escalating state repression and criminalization, from Prairieland, to the Minnesota 15, to the US State Department’s call for a new Red Scare.

As the US and Britain increasingly govern through prohibition, austerity, and criminalization, the reach of policing and punishment has rapidly expanded—both inside and outside the prison walls. Vicky Osterweil, S. Lamble, and Beatrice Adler-Bolton will discuss the carcerality of the anti-trans panic, its centrality to health fascism, and what abolition can teach us about defending care beyond the limits of the state.

To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod This is the first recording in a series of sessions we organized at this year's Socialism Conference. We're posting it ahead of our usual schedule as clips from this session have started circulating online and kicking off a round of discourse on health, health fascism and "fitness," and we wanted to make sure everyone has access to the full remarks. Full session description: As governments retreat from care, and health increasingly becomes a signifier of discipline—rather than provision—fitness, disability, fatness, illness, Blackness, impairment, and bodily capacity are mobilized into measures of moral worth and political belonging. This panel examines how health, disability, body size, and race are instrumentalized by the state and being reorganized under health fascism. Da’Shaun L. Harrison and Beatrice Adler-Bolton will discuss what these transformations reveal about the changing relationship between capitalism, the state, and everyday life. Speakers: Beatrice, Da'Shaun L.
