Covidposting w/ Abdullah Shihipar (11/19/21)

As this year comes to a close, we’re releasing a Best of 2025 series—by no means objective, and making plenty of tough decisions to leave a few favorites out. Each of these will also be posted in the public feed. We’ll be back early in the new year with new episodes.

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!
