  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Unhinged Theory Behind Ending Birthright Citizenship and Creating Fetal ‘Personhood’
Q: Can you explain how the 14th Amendment fits into the push to grant legal rights personhood to embryos, fetuses and zygotes?
The right has been hijacking the 14th Amendment to include fetuses from the moment of conception as persons.
‘Pride Puppy’ Author Talks LGBTQ+ Book Ban and SCOTUS Case
Q: What do you want our listeners to know about this?
These books are really important for children and families to see themselves represented.
Asked and Answered: The Sequel
Q: Couldn't SCOTUS simply rule that the section preventing contempt powers is unconstitutional?
Yes, SCOTUS could declare that provision unconstitutional, as it essentially tells the courts they cannot enforce contempt orders against the Trump administration.
Asked and Answered: The Sequel
Q: What the hell Missouri Supreme Court?
The Missouri Supreme Court has reimposed the abortion ban, citing a technicality without ruling on its merits, amid pressure from Missouri voters who have recently passed protections for abortion rights.
David S. Cohen and Carole Joffe on Abortion ‘After Dobbs’
Q: What can our listeners do, for example, to agitate around the Comstock Act?
Listeners should raise awareness about its effects, encourage representatives to support its repeal, and continue pushing conversations about it in various public spheres.
