  • Yeah, women!

    Just listened to the episode on the case to declare section 504 unconstitutional. You’re right to use the E word (eugenics). Also, cross-oppression solidarity is imperative; trans folks must be protected. Thanks a million.

    You all are the BEST! LOVED that you had a summer session! I never could have made it a whole summer without you. Especially not with all that’s happened to shift things in such a joyful, hopeful and engaging way in Presidential politics, which, shizzle runs down hill, so that will impact ALL of our politics, up and down the ballot in equally joyful, hopeful, energizing and engaging ways.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What the Hell is Fetal Personhood?
Q: what the hell is fetal personhood?
Fetal personhood is the legal strategy of turning a fertilized egg, embryo, or fetus into a constitutional rights-bearing person, but its application is selective and aimed at influencing pregnancy outcomes; it defines personhood not as a biological fact but as a legal status that can grant or withhold rights, often used to frame pregnancies as conflicts between two persons—the pregnant person and the embryo.
If ‘Roe’ Was Never Enough, Why Was It Everything? (And a Word to My Boom! Lawyered Fam)
Q: What would it have looked like to run both the legal and public health strategies together as one coherent argument?
A unified approach would have foregrounded Turnaway Study findings and reproductive justice principles alongside Rowe-based arguments, creating a cultural and policy shift that centers actual health outcomes and equitable access, not just legal protections on paper.
Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Takes You Inside the True Crime Machine
Q: Why are certain stories about missing or murdered marginalized individuals not getting enough coverage?
There's systemic bias in media narratives, and many stories, such as those of Indigenous and Black women, struggle to break into mainstream true crime media.
Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Takes You Inside the True Crime Machine
Q: Can you walk us through how a case even makes it onto Dateline's radar?
We read newspapers daily, receive calls from various sources, and attend story meetings to decide which cases to pursue.
Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Takes You Inside the True Crime Machine
Q: What originally drew you to crime storytelling?
Initially, I was a political reporter, but I realized that true crime connects with people in ways that typical political news does not.
