In our latest, we look back at 2025, a year where normalization slipped into naturalization, as a cadre of villains who rose to prominence on the back of covid denial took the reins of the federal government to play out their revenge fantasies.

It’s Covid Year Six.

“…a classic fascist formulation: it doesn’t need to internally cohere in order to propagate order and discipline. The message merely needs to remain constant.”

Extremely proud to be a Best of 2025 pick from @deathpanel.bsky.social. I think this is some of the best thinking I did all year and the analysis from April has held up wrt the many dangers and failures of the fascist situation on.soundcloud.com/TIEwJGTTOkCj...

First up: @reallandsend.bsky.social and @vickyacab.bsky.social on the holes in the Trump administration’s grip on power and how the field is ripe for mass movements to challenge not just Trump administration policies like mass deportation, but federal power itself

On the surface, MAHA sounds like it’s about healing, about fixing a broken system. Its appeal is rooted in a widespread, deeply felt experience of abandonment by our health care system—a system that feels extractive, cruel, expensive and overall indifferent to everyday suffering.

People are angry, and that anger is real. But MAHA redirects it away from the structural forces that create this crisis towards conspiracy and scapegoating.

“MAHA is a seductive process because it speaks to real pain—the pain of being abandoned. But it offers no solidarity only self management, not justice only blame, not transformation only cruelty disguised as wellness.”

“MAHA says don’t change the system, change yourself. Purify your body. Deny your kid vaccines. Blame the sick for their sickness. It’s magical thinking for the carceral state.”

Many thanks to @reallandsend.bsky.social and @avierkant.bsky.social for 2 great end of year episodes looking back at 2025 as COVID Year 6 and health fascism. These episodes give me hope in a time of despair, which is more important now than ever as we fight the state for all care for all people.

Our 600th episode of Death Panel and a fitting one for the milestone: an episode where we pick apart the unholy alliance between MAHA and traditional Republican austerity politics under Trump, building on analysis from years of the show & our book. Please enjoy 💙
