Liat Ben-Moshe, Sasha Warren, and Leah Harris discuss the political economy of psychiatric incarceration and strategies for resisting surveillance and carcerality that center liberatory care and international solidarities.

LA Burns but We Keep Us Safe (Part Two) (01/23/25)

Bea, Artie, and Phil discuss the pervasive, perennial myth that the Medicare and Social Security trust funds are on the brink of imminent collapse, a myth that feeds austerity in policymaking and false panic that the programs "won't be around" when younger generations grow old--and that Trump and Musk's DOGE are currently taking advantage of to press for cuts.
