Note: This week we're hard at work on Covid Year Six, our annual year in review. This year's show has gotten so big that we're splitting it into two episodes: December 15th: Covid Year Six December 22nd: 2025, Year of Health Fascism and the Anti-State State (working title) —for both of these, go to https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod for those episodes and the whole back catalogue of all of our patron episodes So while we get everything together for these shows, today's episode is our discussion from earlier in the year on something that's going to come up in both episodes, but that still deserves its own focus: Trump's executive order “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets," a threat for a mass expansion of carceral sanist policies. We'll see you next week with those episodes! Subscribe on Patreon and hear this week's full patron-exclusive episode here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/145369924 Beatrice, Artie and Tracy discuss the potential impacts of a new 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.” Runtime 1:51:47 We're testing out a new Bookshop.org page (still under construction), where you can find books by past guests and book recommendations from the hosts.

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.
