“The political deployment of GLP-1s is fascistic.” This is a quote by author Da’Shaun L. Harrison from a panel at the Socialism 2026 conference. A clip went viral and their comments were lambasted by the right and left alike. But what did they actually mean?
Imara sits down with Da’Shaun to discuss how the intersecting forces of anti-fatness, anti-Blackness, and anti-transness function in our current political landscape.
