Heat stress denialism is just another form of necropolitics. We've seen it with COVID. We are being sacrificed on the altar of capitalism again.

Thank you for pointing at the paper.
The burden falls disproportionately on the elderly, outdoor workers and households without reliable access to cooling.

I really wish people would stop using "humanity" when they mean the actions and deliberate inactions of Western capitalist governments.
Using "humanity" hides those people who have names and addresses and who are actively preparing for mass extinction of, amongst others, the poor, brown and Black parts of humanity.

“… a new cultural sensibility emerges in which killing the enemy of the state is an extension of play. More intimate, lurid, and leisurely forms of cruelty begin to take shape.”

The medical examiner in El Paso, Texas, has ruled that Geraldo Lunas Campos's death was, in fact, a homicide. Lunas Campos died Jan. 3 at the Camp East Montana site at Fort Bliss in El Paso. He's the one who ICE claimed was trying to commit suicide, so the staff at the facility restrained and ultimately killed him to stop him from killing himself. So even if he did want to commit suicide, that would only mean that he died anyway, but with more pain, less agency, and less dignity.
I'm curious what the consequences will be for the medical examiner, but regardless, I do know that there's no way this administration is going to take action to stop people from dying at disproportionate rates at Camp East Montana unless they're somehow forced to. Maybe the courts can do that, but it's just as likely that they can't or, if they can, that it won't be until after the camp has claimed even more lives.

A coalition of organizations in the Southwest is demanding the closure of Camp East Montana following three different deaths in custody there in recent months.
From the article:
Diaz died on Wednesday, Jan. 14, at Camp East Montana. He was pronounced deceased at 4:09 p.m., and his death was a presumed suicide, according to ICE. However, the official cause of his death remains under investigation.
The announcement of Diaz’s death comes just days after The Washington Post reported last week that 55-year-old Geraldo Lunas Campos’ death — the second detainee who died at the detention center — could be ruled as a homicide.
The coalition said that Lunas Campos “died from asphyxiation after guards choked him to death, and that federal authorities subsequently are threatening to deport key witnesses to the incident, raising grave concerns about accountability and efforts to suppress evidence of abuse at the facility.”
Additionally, Francisco Gaspar Cristobal Andres was the first detainee held at the Fort Bliss immigration facility to die. The 48-year-old man from Guatemala was taken to the hospital on Nov. 16 and died on Dec. 3 of “suspected natural causes.”

Nicaraguan immigrant Víctor Manuel Díaz has died in ICE custody at Fort Bill in El Paso, Texas.
ICE says that his death appears to be a suicide. He died at the same facility where Geraldo Lunas Campos also recently died from asphyxiation while held in a chokehold by officers who have said that they were trying to stop him from killing himself.
I don't know what the Department of Homeland Security thinks we're all supposed to make of the excuse that "It's not our fault if people keep dying in our custody because they're choosing to kill themselves." If suicide seems like a better option than living in your gulag, that's still on you.
And again, as a final insult, the ICE report refers to Díaz as an "illegal alien" and fails to spell his name correctly.
I haven't been actively keeping a running tally, but this is at least the third person who has died in ICE custody since the start of the year. That's in addition to the at least two people ICE agents have murdered on the street and various others they've injured, including with gunshot wounds.

The parents of Ismael Ayala-Uribe, who died of sepsis in ICE custody last September, have filed a wrongful death suit against the agency. They also name the owner of the private prison where he was held and the health care contractor they brought in as defendants.
The lawsuit alleges that, for weeks, Ayala-Uribe complained of “intense and progressive physical pain, including abdominal pain, severe buttock pain, persistent fever, chills, extreme weakness, and continuous intestinal internal pain related to internal bleeding” and that all he ever got was a "cursory assessment" and some over-the-counter pain meds.
ICE, classy as ever, issued a "Detainee Death Report" that leads not with the circumstances of Ayala-Uribe's death, but rather with his crime of being born in the wrong place and the fact that he had a couple of DUI convictions, most recently six years earlier, as though these make a slow, painful death in their custody seem reasonable.

Great episode on the role of the media manufacturing consent in the age of Covid. Very good examples.of how propaganda works.
The Dutch government (including the by many adored Kaag) followed exactly the same script:
https://public-health-is-dead.simplecast.com/episodes/badpress-k_Z9F5kW
I won't forget how my fellow lefties joined the necropolitics of our class enemies as soon as the neoliberal government gave them the green light. As one of the guests says: "You're not resisting fascism when you're not making your spaces accessible for disabled people during a pandemic."

#Necropolitics is a sociopolitical theory that examines how social and political power is used to determine who may live and who must die, often creating conditions where certain populations exist in a state of "living death." This concept was developed by Achille Mbembe to analyze contemporary forms of subjugation and the impact of state power on life and death.

“Political language,” George Orwell said, “is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable”. The pre-emptive horror of experienced aid providers was immediately validated as Palestinians began reporting indiscriminate killings by Israeli Forces at the sites of #GHF operations. The UN has recorded the killing of 859 Palestinians at GHF sites since their inception.
