Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Constitution: A Scam by Rich White Men, for Rich White Men
Q: What practical paths exist to reform the system given the power of the Supreme Court?
The guest discusses leveraging five liberal justices to reinterpret or expand protections via equal protection and due process, reforming the structure or composition of the Court, and demanding electoral consequences for politicians who fail to prioritize court reform and rights protection.
The Constitution: A Scam by Rich White Men, for Rich White Men
Q: How does originalism fit into the discussion about Reconstruction amendments and civil rights?
Originalism is shown as a tool that can be used to extract the original intent of the founders or the Reconstruction-era framers, but the guest emphasizes that the original intent was exclusionary. By reading original intent through a contemporary, inclusive lens, courts can expand protections rather than revert to an antiquated interpretation.
The Constitution: A Scam by Rich White Men, for Rich White Men
Q: What makes the Constitution a 'scam' in the host's view, and who benefits from that system?
The guest argues that the document was authored by slaveholders and designed to protect their power, benefiting white, rich, landowning men. This framework consistently advantages a narrow class, while the broader population—especially Black people and marginalized communities—has had to fight for incremental gains rather than guaranteed rights.
In Mercy's Shadow: The Mercy Narrative in True Crime
Q: Do you think the true crime genre has evolved toward more ethical storytelling, especially around vulnerable groups?
Yes, there has been a shift toward more intentional and careful storytelling, particularly around crimes against children and other vulnerable groups, though there is still a long way to go in consistently applying ethical standards.
In Mercy's Shadow: The Mercy Narrative in True Crime
Q: When did you first realize that disabled victims were being erased from the true crime conversation, and what moment pushed you to tell these stories yourself?
The moment was recognizing a pattern where disabled victims were sidelined or framed through caregivers; this sparked a commitment to tell their stories with accountability, context, and a disability justice lens.
