      <title>The New Normal Isn’t Optional: Building the Next Generation of Democratic Leaders</title>
      <link>http://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Amanda Litman on local power, political messaging, and rebuilding the Democratic bench

At a moment when national politics feels stalled and increasingly disconnected from everyday life, something very different is happening at the local level.

In this episode of The Electorette, Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Amanda Litman, cofounder of Run for Something, about why Democrats are seeing success in down-ballot races—even as dysfunction persists in Washington. Litman argues that local candidates are able to do something national leaders often struggle with: communicate clearly, connect directly with voters, and deliver tangible results.

The conversation explores the limits of policy without messaging, the importance of candidates who can effectively “sell” their work, and why communication is not secondary to governing—it’s central to it. Litman also outlines Run for Something’s long-term strategy of building a new generation of leaders from the ground up, many of whom are already moving into higher office. 

At the heart of the discussion is a larger question about political identity and direction: what replaces the “old normal” that many voters rejected, and what does it take to build something durable in its place?

This is a conversation about power—where it’s shifting, who’s building it, and what it means for the future of the Democratic Party.

      <title>Will the Future Like You?</title>
      <link>http://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Patricia Martin on identity, algorithms, and the quiet politics of the inner self

In the digital age, life online increasingly involves shaping and presenting versions of the self—across platforms, in real time, and often multiple times a day. Over time, that performance begins to influence how identity is formed and understood.

In this episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Patricia Martin, author of Will the Future Like You?, about how the internet is reshaping the relationship between the inner self and the public persona.

Drawing on more than a decade of research, Martin explains how the “persona”—the version of the self presented to others—has become a form of currency in the attention economy. As more energy is directed outward, access to the inner resources that support decision-making, adaptation, and self-definition can become more limited. 

The conversation explores the psychological strain of constant performance, the subtle ways platforms influence behavior, and the broader implications for identity and agency in an AI-driven future. At its core, this is a discussion about self-determination—what it requires, what undermines it, and why it remains essential in a rapidly changing world.

      <title>The Electability Myth</title>
      <link>http://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Why women candidates are winning—and changing what “electable” means

For years, politics has been shaped by assumptions about who is “electable”—assumptions that often sideline women candidates. But those assumptions are starting to fail.

In this episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Jessica Mackler, President of EMILYs List⁠, about what that shift looks like in real time, starting with Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton’s recent primary win.

Despite being outspent and underestimated, Stratton’s victory reflects a broader pattern: women candidates, including women of color, are winning competitive races—and doing so without the traditional advantages long seen as necessary.

They discuss how the idea of electability shapes funding, media coverage, and political strategy—and what happens when candidates succeed without fitting that mold.

This conversation examines how power is built, who gets backed, and how those dynamics are beginning to change.

      <title>Can State Legislatures Stop ICE—Or Just Slow It Down?</title>
      <link>http://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>How flipped seats are shaping the response to federal immigration enforcement — A conversation with Sarah Curmi of ⁠States Win⁠

From lawsuits to new legislation, states are beginning to push back on federal immigration enforcement in ways that were once unthinkable.

This shift isn’t happening in a vacuum. Since the last election, Democrats have flipped 30 state legislative seats—changing who holds power in key chambers across the country.

In this episode, Sarah Curmi of States Win explains how those gains are translating into policy—and why state legislatures may be the most important political battleground right now.

      <title>Who’s Really Running DHS Right Now?</title>
      <link>http://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>ICE at airports, a weeks-long shutdown, and why the DHS Secretary may not be in charge

The Department of Homeland Security has been partially shut down for weeks. At the same time, ICE agents are showing up in airports, and Markwayne Mullin has just been confirmed as DHS Secretary.

So what’s actually going on—and who’s really in charge?

In this conversation, I’m joined by Andrea Flores, former DHS and White House official, attorney, and immigration policy expert, to break down the reality behind the headlines. We talk about why this leadership change may be more symbolic than substantive, how immigration enforcement is expanding in ways most people aren’t noticing, and why this moment may be less about policy—and more about power.

We also dig into what Democrats should be doing right now, what’s at stake heading into the midterms, and why it’s important to understand just how far outside the norm this moment really is.

      <title>The Quiet War on Direct Democracy</title>
      <link>http://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Kelly Hall on how lawmakers are quietly dismantling ballot initiatives—and how voters are fighting back.

Ballot measures have become one of the most powerful tools voters have to bypass politicians and pass policy directly—from raising the minimum wage to expanding Medicaid to protecting reproductive rights. But according to Kelly Hall of The Fairness Project, that power is under coordinated attack.

In this episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner talks with Hall about the organization’s new report, Direct Democracy Under Assault, and the accelerating effort to weaken the ballot initiative process across the country. They discuss how lawmakers are changing the rules to make ballot measures harder to qualify, harder to pass, and easier for politicians to manipulate after voters have already spoken.

They also explore why these attacks are not just procedural—they’re a warning sign. Rights are often lost gradually, through technical changes and bureaucratic barriers that seem small on their own but add up over time. If voting rights are eroded drip by drip, Hall argues, direct democracy can disappear the same way.

This is a conversation about ballot measures, yes—but also about power, representation, and what it means when politicians decide they no longer need to listen to voters.



READ THE REPORT: ATTACKS ON DIRECT DEMOCRACY DOUBLED IN 2025



EPISODE CHAPTERS:

00:00 — What ballot measures are and why they matter Kelly explains the ballot initiative process and why it has become such an important democratic tool in an era of political dysfunction.

04:15 — The Fairness Project’s new report: Direct Democracy Under Assault Kelly breaks down the report’s central finding: attacks on ballot measures are accelerating fast.

08:20 — The numbers behind the backlash Jen and Kelly discuss the scale of the legislative assault, including the dramatic rise in anti-ballot-measure bills.

09:30 — Why the backlash is happening now Kelly connects the attacks to recent ballot measure victories, especially on reproductive rights.

11:15 — Why this isn’t just about abortion The conversation widens to include wages, Medicaid, voting protections, gerrymandering, and other policies voters can pursue through ballot initiatives.

12:00 — Who is behind these attacks? Kelly draws an important distinction between Republican voters and a small group of extremist Republican lawmakers attacking direct democracy.

      <itunes:subtitle>Kelly Hall on the growing effort to make ballot measures harder to use—and why that matters for all of us</itunes:subtitle>
      <itunes:summary>Kelly Hall on how lawmakers are quietly dismantling ballot initiatives—and how voters are fighting back.

Ballot measures have become one of the most powerful tools voters have to bypass politicians and pass policy directly—from raising the minimum wage to expanding Medicaid to protecting reproductive rights. But according to Kelly Hall of The Fairness Project, that power is under coordinated attack.

In this episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner talks with Hall about the organization’s new report, Direct Democracy Under Assault, and the accelerating effort to weaken the ballot initiative process across the country. They discuss how lawmakers are changing the rules to make ballot measures harder to qualify, harder to pass, and easier for politicians to manipulate after voters have already spoken.

They also explore why these attacks are not just procedural—they’re a warning sign. Rights are often lost gradually, through technical changes and bureaucratic barriers that seem small on their own but add up over time. If voting rights are eroded drip by drip, Hall argues, direct democracy can disappear the same way.

This is a conversation about ballot measures, yes—but also about power, representation, and what it means when politicians decide they no longer need to listen to voters.

      <title>ICE, Voter Intimidation, and the Future of the Ballot with Rebekah Caruthers</title>
      <link>http://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>In this episode of The Electorette, Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Rebekah Caruthers, President and CEO of the Fair Elections Center, about growing concerns around voter intimidation and the potential role of federal agencies like ICE at or near polling places.

They discuss how proposed laws like the SAVE Act could change voter registration requirements, the broader strategy behind voter suppression efforts, and why some Americans are increasingly anxious about voting. Caruthers also puts this moment into historical perspective, reminding us that the fight over voting rights is not new—and that Americans have defended the ballot through some of the most difficult periods in the nation’s history.



Chapter Timestamps

00:00 — The State of American Democracy
Jen and Rebekah begin by taking the temperature of democracy in the United States, discussing how current political rhetoric and policy decisions are shaping the country’s democratic institutions.

02:30 — A Long History of Fighting for Voting Rights
Rebekah reflects on historical struggles for democracy, including the work of Ida B. Wells and the civil rights movement, and explains why understanding this history is essential to navigating today’s challenges.

06:00 — ICE, Voter Intimidation, and the Politics of Fear
The conversation turns to concerns about federal law enforcement being deployed near polling places and how intimidation—real or perceived—can discourage people from exercising their right to vote.

07:30 — The SAVE Act and New Voting Restrictions
Rebekah breaks down the SAVE Act and similar legislation, explaining how proof-of-citizenship requirements and stricter ID laws could make voter registration significantly harder for millions of Americans.

11:30 — Barriers to Registration and Voting Access
From criminal penalties for election workers to reduced early voting and limited ballot drop boxes, the discussion explores how multiple layers of policy changes can collectively restrict access to the ballot.

17:00 — What Voters Can Do Right Now
Rebekah offers practical advice for voters, including checking registration regularly, voting early when possible, and ensuring ballots are properly received and counted.

20:00 — Disinformation and Targeting Black Voters
The episode examines how misinformation campaigns often target Black communities and why voter suppression historically focuses on communities whose turnout can shift political outcomes.

24:00 — Elections in Times of Crisis
Rebekah puts current fears about voting into historical perspective, reminding listeners that the United States has successfully held elections through wars, national crises, and economic collapse.

27:00 — Hope, Resistance, and the Future of the Vote
The conversation closes with reflections on hope, civic participation, and why Americans continue to fight for their right to vote—even in difficult political moments.

      <title>Democracy Is Not Passive</title>
      <link>http://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Democracy Is Not Passive: Chris Melody Fields Figueredo on Ballot Power in 2026

When we think about elections, we think about candidates. But some of the most consequential fights in 2026 won’t be about who’s on the ballot — they’ll be about what’s on it.

Chris Melody Fields Figueredo, Executive Director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, joins me to break down the 24 democracy-related ballot measures already approved for November — and the wave of defensive measures, voter suppression tactics, and anti-trans initiatives emerging across the country.

We discuss Missouri lawmakers overturning voter-approved minimum wage and paid leave, how supermajority thresholds weaken majority rule, and why ballot initiatives remain one of the most powerful tools for multiracial democracy — even in red states.

Democracy cannot be passive. And this year, it’s on the ballot.

      <title>Who Pays When Healthcare Is Cut? Inside California’s Billionaire Tax Initiative</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>In this episode of The Electorette, host Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Suzanne Jimenez, Chief of Staff at SEIU-UHW, about the looming healthcare crisis facing California — and the ballot measure designed to stop it.

Their conversation begins with the fallout from the federal budget reconciliation bill (HR 1), which delivered historic tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans while triggering over $100 billion in healthcare cuts to California over the next several years. Jimenez explains how those cuts are already showing up across the state: rising insurance premiums, hospital layoffs, threats to Medi-Cal, nursing homes, community clinics, and serious risks to maternal care and children’s health.

From there, Jimenez lays out California’s proposed solution: a one-time emergency 5% tax on billionaires, affecting just over 200 individuals. The measure would generate more than $100 billion to stabilize the healthcare system, protect Medi-Cal, support K–14 education, and fund emergency food assistance. She breaks down how the tax works, why claims of billionaire flight are largely a distraction, and how healthcare workers themselves are leading this effort after elected leaders failed to offer a viable alternative.

The episode also explores why ballot initiatives have become one of the most effective tools for protecting public goods, how this proposal could serve as a model for other states facing similar cuts, and what Californians stand to lose if the measure does not pass.

This is a clear, urgent conversation about who pays when government priorities shift — and how voters can intervene when the safety net is at risk.

      <itunes:subtitle>Suzanne Jimenez on the Emergency Wealth Tax to Stop a California's Healthcare Collapse</itunes:subtitle>
      <itunes:summary>In this episode of The Electorette, host Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Suzanne Jimenez, Chief of Staff at SEIU-UHW, about the looming healthcare crisis facing California — and the ballot measure designed to stop it.

Their conversation begins with the fallout from the federal budget reconciliation bill (HR 1), which delivered historic tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans while triggering over $100 billion in healthcare cuts to California over the next several years. Jimenez explains how those cuts are already showing up across the state: rising insurance premiums, hospital layoffs, threats to Medi-Cal, nursing homes, community clinics, and serious risks to maternal care and children’s health.

      <title>How America Built—and Abandoned—the Middle Class</title>
      <link>http://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>The American middle class didn’t disappear by accident—it was dismantled by design.

In this episode of The Electorette, host Jen Taylor-Skinner is joined by Professor A. Mechele Dickerson, author of Middle-Class New Deal: Restoring Upward Mobility and the American Dream, for a clear-eyed conversation about how deliberate public policy once built a strong middle class—and how decades of political neglect slowly unraveled it.

Dickerson explains why the middle class exists at all, how housing policy, labor protections, education, and debt once worked together to create upward mobility, and what changed beginning in the 1980s. We also discuss why conversations about the middle class so often erase race—and how ignoring systemic inequality ultimately weakens the entire economy.

There’s a personal thread woven throughout this conversation as well: both Dickerson and Taylor-Skinner grew up in Memphis and even attended the same middle school, a shared history that mirrors many of the book’s core themes around affordable housing, public education, and economic opportunity.

This is a grounded, urgent conversation about what Americans have lost—and the open question of whether a new middle-class deal is still possible if the collective political will can be summoned.

      <title>The (Real) Problem With AI: Is it the Technology, or Men?</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>After users discovered they could use Grok, the AI tool embedded in X, to generate nonconsensual nude images of women and girls, the backlash was swift. And the story raised a deeper question: are these harms a failure of artificial intelligence itself, or a reflection of the people, power structures, and incentives behind it?

In this episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner is joined by Tazin Khan, CEO of Cyber Collective, for an important conversation about feminist AI, technology-facilitated gender-based violence, and the limits of blaming “innovation” for harms that are deeply human. From deepfakes and data exploitation to capitalism, surveillance, and platform responsibility, this discussion challenges the idea that technology is neutral—and asks who is protected, who is exposed, and why accountability so often stops at the code.

This is a conversation about AI, yes—but even more so about power, responsibility, and the systems we continue to build without reckoning with their consequences.

      <title>Shock, Awe, and the Constitution: The ACLU When the Law Is Tested</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>As The Electorette returns with a new season, there was only one place to start: the front lines of civil liberties.

In this episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner is joined by Deirdre Schifeling, Chief Political &amp; Advocacy Officer at the American Civil Liberties Union, for a wide-ranging and urgent conversation about what Trump’s second term really represents—not chaos, but a calculated “shock and awe” strategy designed to overwhelm the law, the courts, and the public.

They discuss the ACLU’s unprecedented legal response, the escalating attacks on immigrant communities, and why the Supreme Court’s upcoming birthright citizenship case could fundamentally redefine what it means to be American. Deirdre also explains how coordinated legal and civic pressure can slow executive overreach, why public engagement still matters in moments like this, and what people can do right now to meaningfully defend civil liberties and the rule of law.

      <title>We’re Still Here. We’re Still Running: A Conversation with A'shanti Gholar of Emerge</title>
      <link>http://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Women have been shaping American politics since its beginning — organizing movements, expanding rights, and redefining leadership at every turn. But over the past decade, that long struggle has collided with a new wave of visibility and backlash.

⁠Emerge is now recruiting the class of 2026⁠

From the raw sexism of 2016, to the record-breaking “pink wave” of 2018, to the post-2024 debate over whether women are even electable, the story of women in politics reveals how deeply gender still defines power in America. In this episode, A’shanti Gholar, President and CEO of Emerge, traces that arc — and explains why women aren’t stepping back.

She calls it the Kamala Effect: the surge of women still running, organizing, and leading despite unprecedented hostility. We talk about what that resilience looks like — from local campaigns and judicial races to the national fight for representation — and what it means to “lock in” as we head into the next wave of elections.

Emerge came directly out of Kamala Harris' first run for office in the early 2000s. Watch ⁠here⁠. 

If you’ve ever wondered whether women can still change the direction of American democracy, this episode is both a roadmap and a signal to lock in.

      <title>Free &amp; Fair? Rebekah Caruthers on the Real Barriers to the Ballot</title>
      <link>http://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>What’s really keeping Americans from the ballot box? In this urgent conversation, Rebekah Caruthers,  President and CEO of the Fair Elections Center, breaks down the invisible “friction” that pushes voters out of the process—confusing and state-by-state registration rules, ID and signature hurdles (especially for Gen Z without DMV records), voter roll purges, and a rising climate of fear fed by mis- and disinformation. We go inside states like Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Tennessee to see how policy choices—and lawsuits—shape who gets to participate. Caruthers reframes “voter apathy,” argues that democracy requires both contestation and participation, and offers clear, immediate steps: check your registration often, learn your state’s rules, and show up in every election—not just the big ones. If you’ve ever wondered whether we can still have free and fair elections, this episode is a master class in how to protect them.



Conversation takeaways


  Why registration is harder than it looks (AVR/online systems still hinge on DMV signatures).

  How roll purges and mid-decade redistricting depress participation.

  The role of fear, misinformation, and new criminal penalties around helping voters.

  Why local races (school boards, utilities, county commissions) impact daily life the most.

  Practical steps to safeguard your vote—and your community’s.


Chapters

(00:00) Barriers to Voting Registration and Turnout

Voter suppression, civic participation, and innovative approaches to voter registration discussed in relation to fair elections.

(11:37) Defending and Facilitating Voting Rights

Participating in every election strengthens democracy, but challenges like voter purges and misconceptions persist.

(21:22) Importance of Voting in Local Elections

Understanding voter apathy, the power of local elections, and the urgency of political engagement in shaping democracy.

(27:45) Challenges in Voting Rights Legislation

Voting rights in the US, civic education, state laws, barriers for returning citizens, and the need for action.

(43:41) Importance of Physical Document Ownership

Having a physical copy of the Constitution allows for direct engagement with primary sources and avoids potential misinformation from digital versions.

      <title>Can the Voting Rights Act Survive This Supreme Court Term?</title>
      <link>http://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Sophia Lin Lakin on How the Supreme Court Could Dismantle the Law Protecting Voters

The U.S. Supreme Court is once again preparing to rule on a case that could further dismantle the Voting Rights Act — Callais v. Landry. At the center of this case is Section 2, one of the last remaining protections against racial discrimination in voting.

After Louisiana courts ruled that the state’s congressional map illegally diluted Black voting power, a new map was drawn to include a second majority-Black district. But now, a group of white voters — and the state of Louisiana itself — are asking the Court to go even further, claiming that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional.

If the Court agrees, it could strip away the very protections that ensure voters of color can participate equally in our democracy.

To unpack the case and its sweeping implications, Jen Taylor Skinner speaks with Sophia Lin Lakin, Director of the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project, whose team represents Black voters in this landmark case. They discuss the history behind Section 2, the chilling parallels to Shelby County v. Holder, and what this moment could mean for the future of voting rights in America.

      <title>The Conservative Backlash Against Ballot Measures: A Conversation with Kelly Hall</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Ballot measures have given voters the power to pass life-changing policies that lawmakers often won’t — from raising the minimum wage and expanding healthcare access, to protecting reproductive rights and curbing predatory payday lending. But now, the process itself is under threat.


  
New Report: ATTACKS ON DIRECT DEMOCRACY DOUBLED IN 2025


  
Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign



In this episode, I speak with Kelly Hall, Executive Director of The Fairness Project, about a new report showing how conservative lawmakers are working to undermine direct democracy. With nearly 150 bills introduced across the country, these efforts would make it harder for citizens to place initiatives on the ballot and harder to pass them once they’re there. We discuss what’s at stake, how these attacks are spreading, and why defending ballot measures is essential to protecting the will of the people. 



(00:01) Attacks on Direct Democracy

Conservative lawmakers are attacking the ballot measure process, threatening direct democracy and silencing voters.



(12:57) Undermining Direct Democracy

Supermajority requirements, single-subject rules, and bureaucratic hurdles hinder direct democracy and civic engagement.



(23:33) Arkansas Advocates Protecting Ballot Measures

Missouri's political maneuvers target direct democracy and reproductive rights, including attempts to restrict abortion and gender-affirming care.



(35:19) Protecting Direct Democracy

Florida's restrictive ballot measures face challenges, but litigation and public support continue to protect direct democracy.

New Report: ATTACKS ON DIRECT DEMOCRACY DOUBLED IN 2025


  
Ballot Measure Rescue Campaign



In this episode, I speak with Kelly Hall, Executive Director of The Fairness Project, about a new report showing how conservative lawmakers are working to undermine direct democracy. With nearly 150 bills introduced across the country, these efforts would make it harder for citizens to place initiatives on the ballot and harder to pass them once they’re there. We discuss what’s at stake, how these attacks are spreading, and why defending ballot measures is essential to protecting the will of the people. 



(00:01) Attacks on Direct Democracy

Conservative lawmakers are attacking the ballot measure process, threatening direct democracy and silencing voters.



(12:57) Undermining Direct Democracy

Supermajority requirements, single-subject rules, and bureaucratic hurdles hinder direct democracy and civic engagement.



(23:33) Arkansas Advocates Protecting Ballot Measures

Missouri's political maneuvers target direct democracy and reproductive rights, including attempts to restrict abortion and gender-affirming care.



(35:19) Protecting Direct Democracy

Florida's restrictive ballot measures face challenges, but litigation and public support continue to protect direct democracy.

      <title>Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights with Dr. Keisha Blain</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Historian and scholar, Dr. Keisha Blain joins The Electorette to discuss her groundbreaking new book, Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights. This vital chronicle reframes the history of Black women’s activism—not only as a fight for civil rights in the U.S., but as a global human rights struggle that continues to shape our world today.

From Ida B. Wells’s anti-lynching crusade that called out America on the world stage, to Madam C.J. Walker’s international diplomacy, to Black women activists who linked civil rights to anti-apartheid and Palestinian liberation, Dr. Blain uncovers how Black women’s vision of justice has always been expansive, international, and transformative.

We also explore what their legacy teaches us about today’s political moment, and why documenting these stories is essential as forces attempt to erase them.

      <title>The Double Tax: Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman on the Hidden Costs Women of Color Pay</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>In the past three months, more than 300,000 Black women have left the labor force. Economist and author Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman calls this the double tax—the compounded burden of being both a woman and a person of color in an economy designed to take more and give less.

From higher prices for haircare and beauty products, to childcare that consumes a larger share of income, to systemic barriers in jobs, salaries, housing, and wealth—these hidden costs fall on women of color across the board. But for Black women, they are especially stark, leaving them with fewer opportunities, lower pay, higher living costs, and far less generational wealth than their white counterparts.

Her groundbreaking book, The Double Tax: How Women of Color Are Overcharged and Underpaid, shows how these inequities aren’t incidental—they’re structural. And unless they’re confronted, everyone pays the price.



(00:01) The Double Tax on Black Women

Black women's "double tax" in labor force discussed with author Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman, emphasizing solutions and self-advocacy.



(07:06) Cost of Hair Emotional and Financial

Perceived progress in racial equality, false sense of progress, hair burdens for Black women, generational trauma and societal expectations.



(13:58) Navigating Beauty Standards as Black Women

Growing up in predominantly Black and white educational environments, facing anti-Blackness and challenges in PWIs, finding representation and redefining beauty standards.



(22:01) The Double Tax on Beauty Standards

Representation and accessibility in the beauty industry for Black and Asian American women, highlighting the "double tax" and need for inclusive representation.



(34:03) The Double Tax in the Workplace

Legislation is needed to combat hair discrimination in the workplace, along with addressing white beauty standards and the "double tax" faced by Black professionals.



(41:41) Power Dynamics and Motherhood Impact

Proximity to power is unequal among races and genders, with white men dominating top professions and Black women facing the most barriers.



(47:11) The Burden of Motherhood

Motherhood's financial burden, childcare costs, Black women as breadwinners, and the impact of technology on education and employment.



(01:01:19) The Cost of Womanhood

Empowering women at all stages, advocating for oneself, and the cost of womanhood are discussed in a heartfelt chapter.

      <title>Ballot Power: How Voters Are Advancing Progressive Change in Red States</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>In a time when U.S. politics feels gridlocked and bleak, ballot initiatives are offering a surprising source of hope. In some of the reddest states—places that handed Trump overwhelming victories—voters are quietly embracing progressive policies like paid sick leave, higher minimum wages, and Medicaid expansion.

In this episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Chris Melody Fields Figueredo, Executive Director of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, about why ballot measures succeed where candidates fail. Together, they explore how citizen-led initiatives cut through partisan noise, mobilize communities, and create lasting change—even in places dominated by gerrymandering and voter suppression.

From Nebraska to Missouri, Chris explains how grassroots coalitions and early funding strategies build momentum and protect hard-won victories. The conversation also looks ahead to upcoming ballot fights over reproductive freedom, LGBTQ rights, and voting access—and why this tool may be one of the most powerful defenses against authoritarianism at home and abroad.

If you’ve ever wondered how ordinary citizens can reclaim democracy, this episode will inspire you with real stories of progress where you might least expect it.

      <title>The Human Cost of Failed Immigration Reform — A Conversation with Jessica Orozco Guttlein</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Decades of failed immigration reform and political half-measures have left millions of immigrants in the U.S. without a path to legal status. Instead, families are being torn apart by harsh deportation policies, asylum seekers are forced into the shadows, and U.S. citizen children live in daily fear of losing their parents.

In this episode, I speak with Jessica Orozco Guttlein, Senior Vice President for Policy and Communications at the Hispanic Federation, about how we got here—and what it will take to repair the damage. We examine the legacy of the 1986 immigration reform, the repeated failure to pass the DREAM Act, and how policies like the Laken Riley Act deepen racial profiling and destabilize communities.

Jessica also sheds light on the resilience of mixed-status families, the role of industries that quietly depend on immigrant labor, and why restoring due process must be central to any meaningful reform. Together, we consider how piecemeal solutions—like securing citizenship pathways for Dreamers—can begin to rebuild trust, reunite families, and prevent history from repeating itself.



(00:00) Broken Immigration System and Political Stalemate

Inadequate immigration policies and deportation destabilize families and communities, highlighting the need for comprehensive reform and recognition of immigrant contributions.



(13:29) Challenges in US Asylum Policy

The U.S. asylum system faces challenges due to policy changes, lack of resources, and removal of protections for immigrants.



(24:31) Impact of Immigration Policies on Communities

Immigrants in the US face fear and uncertainty due to increased enforcement policies, affecting sectors like hospitality and healthcare.



(32:01) Restoring Due Process in Immigration

The Laken  Riley Act grants local police immigration authority, impacting mixed-status families and emphasizing the need for legislative action and due process restoration.



(36:08) Immigration Backlog and Justice System

The recent tax and spending bill highlights concerns about immigration enforcement priorities and the need for fair reforms.

      <description>Author and scholar Anna Malaika Tubbs joins The Electorette to discuss her powerful new book, Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us—a sweeping, incisive examination of how American patriarchy was built to exclude, erase, and control. In this conversation, Anna unpacks the nation’s gendered social order, from its origins in the Constitution to its modern-day consequences in law, politics, motherhood, and racial injustice.

Drawing on personal experience, global perspective, and deep historical research, Anna explains how stories like that of Sacagawea—an Indigenous girl forced to guide the Lewis and Clark expedition—have been co-opted to prop up a false narrative of inclusion. She also traces how the legacy of patriarchal power lives on in institutions like the Supreme Court, and how it has shaped political identities and movements across generations.

Anna Malaika Tubbs is a Cambridge Ph.D. candidate in Sociology and a Bill and Melinda Gates Cambridge Scholar. Erased is the follow-up to her debut The Three Mothers, and was an instant New York Times bestseller, a USA Today national bestseller, and named an Amazon Best Book of the Year (So Far) for 2025.

This conversation explores what it means to be seen, to be heard, and to reclaim stories that were never told truthfully to begin with.

      <title>Are Governors The New Power Players in U.S. Politics? A Conversation with Ofirah Yheskel</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>In this episode of The Electorette, I’m joined by Ofirah Yheskel, Director of External Affairs for the Democratic Governors Association, to unpack the growing national influence of Democratic governors—especially in the face of Republican extremism and Trump-aligned policymaking.

We discuss two high-stakes gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey, where Democratic candidates Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill are stepping up to defend reproductive rights, protect access to healthcare, and push back against anti-democratic efforts like gerrymandering and Medicaid cuts. Their races aren't just local—they're national bellwethers for what’s ahead in the 2026 midterms.

From canceled medical debt in Michigan to creative policy leadership in states like Arizona and Illinois, this conversation spotlights how Democratic governors are becoming the last line of defense—and the first line of progress. Whether you live in a battleground state or not, now is the time to pay attention.



(00:00) The Role of Democratic Governors

Democratic governors protect civil rights, reproductive rights, and healthcare against federal challenges, emphasizing the importance of electing Democratic governors in upcoming races.



(08:11) Governor's Races

Virginia and New Jersey's pivotal elections feature bipartisan candidates Spanberger and Sherrill, challenging extreme Republican policies on healthcare and reproductive rights.



(16:28) Preparing for Critical Governor's Races

Democratic governors shape national politics, DGA involvement, battleground states, open seats, supporting candidates, and staying informed.

      <title>Diplomacy vs. Disaster: Sara Haghdoosti on Building a Progressive Foreign Policy</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>What does a truly progressive foreign policy look like—and what happens when we abandon it?

Foreign policy often feels like a conversation for elites. But in this episode, Sara Haghdoosti, Executive Director of Win Without War, argues otherwise. She joins Jen Taylor-Skinner to unpack how the collapse of diplomacy between the U.S. and Iran—and Israel’s recent strikes—have pushed the world dangerously close to a wider war.

Together, they explore the long-term consequences of abandoning the Iran nuclear deal, the myth that Americans don’t care about foreign policy, and how militarism abroad fuels violence and repression at home. Most importantly, Sara explains why people-led movements—not politicians—are our best hope for peace.

They also discuss the critical role of women at the negotiating table, the urgent need to demystify foreign policy, and how today’s most pressing threats—like climate change and displacement—can only be solved through diplomacy.



(00:01) US Foreign Policy in the Middle East

Israel-Iran tensions, human impact, historical context of Iran nuclear deal, role of sanctions, and importance of people-led movements for peace.



(11:19) Progressive Foreign Policy and Diplomatic Solutions

Foreign policy, racism, and domestic impact are explored, emphasizing the need for progressive diplomacy and civil society's power in shaping political discourse.



(20:00) Reimagining US Foreign Policy and Diplomacy

Feminist activism, female leadership, grassroots organizing, and broadening perspectives in U.S. foreign policy.



(33:13) Challenging Islamophobia and Building Progress

Society's progress in combating Islamophobia, resistance to divisive rhetoric, and interconnectedness for a safer world.

      <title>Beyond Protest: Kelly Hall on the Power of Ballot Measures When Democracy Fails</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>In this episode of The Electorette, host Jen Taylor-Skinner is joined by Kelly Hall, Executive Director of The Fairness Project, to discuss how ballot measures are transforming the political landscape. As congressional dysfunction deepens and the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" threatens vital programs like Medicaid, direct democracy offers a bold and effective workaround.

Kelly breaks down the Fairness Project’s 2024 wins—where voters in red states overturned abortion bans, raised the minimum wage, and expanded healthcare access. These aren’t just policy victories; they’re blueprints for bypassing broken institutions and reclaiming power from unresponsive lawmakers. Ballot initiatives not only protect rights under attack—they can reshape public consensus and influence national debates.

From lawsuits to signature drives, and from grassroots momentum to constitutional amendments, this conversation is both a reality check and a call to action. Whether you live in a red state, blue state, or somewhere in between, ballot initiatives may be the most underused—and urgently needed—tool we have to defend democracy.

      <title>The Big Beautiful Lie: Jessica Fulton on What the 2025 Budget Bill Really Means for Black Households</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>In this episode of The Electorette, host Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Jessica Fulton, senior fellow with the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, about the 2025 budget bill—rebranded by conservatives as the "Big Beautiful Bill"—and the devastating consequences it could have for Black households.

Rooted in the Joint Center’s policy brief, Centering Black Households in the 2025 Tax Debate, the conversation exposes how proposals like extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would continue to funnel wealth to high-income, disproportionately white households—while offering temporary, shallow benefits to working-class families. Jessica explains how policies that sound equitable on the surface—like tax deductions for tipped workers, child tax credits, and overtime exemptions—actually reinforce economic exclusion.

Together, they explore how tax policy has long been used as a tool of racialized wealth-building and why understanding these “wonky” details is essential to building a more equitable economy. They also touch on the dangers of cutting Pell Grants, dismantling agencies that support Black-owned businesses, and using budget reconciliation to pass policies that will have generational consequences.

This episode is a powerful call for greater transparency, stronger advocacy, and inclusive policymaking that truly supports all families—not just the wealthiest.



Episode Chapters:

(00:00) Tax Code, Wealth, and Racial Inequality

The Federal Tax Code perpetuates racial inequality, with implications for Black households, through policies like the 2025 Budget Bill.

      <itunes:subtitle>Jessica Fulton Breaks Down the 2025 Budget Bill and the Long History of Economic Exclusion</itunes:subtitle>
      <itunes:summary>In this episode of The Electorette, host Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with Jessica Fulton, senior fellow with the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, about the 2025 budget bill—rebranded by conservatives as the "Big Beautiful Bill"—and the devastating consequences it could have for Black households.

Rooted in the Joint Center’s policy brief, Centering Black Households in the 2025 Tax Debate, the conversation exposes how proposals like extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act would continue to funnel wealth to high-income, disproportionately white households—while offering temporary, shallow benefits to working-class families. Jessica explains how policies that sound equitable on the surface—like tax deductions for tipped workers, child tax credits, and overtime exemptions—actually reinforce economic exclusion.

Together, they explore how tax policy has long been used as a tool of racialized wealth-building and why understanding these “wonky” details is essential to building a more equitable economy. They also touch on the dangers of cutting Pell Grants, dismantling agencies that support Black-owned businesses, and using budget reconciliation to pass policies that will have generational consequences.

This episode is a powerful call for greater transparency, stronger advocacy, and inclusive policymaking that truly supports all families—not just the wealthiest.

      <title>More Than a Seat: Amanda Edwards on Legacy, Leadership, and the Fight for Texas’s 18th Congressional District</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>In this episode of The Electorette, Amanda Edwards, candidate for Texas’s 18th Congressional District, joins host Jennifer Taylor-Skinner for a powerful conversation about legacy, leadership, and what it means to truly serve. A native of Houston’s 18th District, Edwards shares her deep personal ties to the community and reflects on the seat’s profound history—once held by trailblazers like Barbara Jordan and Sheila Jackson Lee.

Edwards discusses the impact of Governor Greg Abbott’s delay in calling a special election, which has left nearly 800,000 residents without representation during a time of crisis. From federal budget cuts to hurricane preparedness, she outlines why this moment demands urgent, community-centered leadership.

The conversation also delves into the disconnect between elected officials and constituents, with Edwards highlighting her commitment to restoring trust and accountability. She shares personal stories—like her father’s battle with cancer and her post-Harvey recovery work—and lays out her vision for building policies that support education, economic opportunity, and reproductive justice.

Edwards makes a compelling case for re-engaging disillusioned voters and ensuring that representation is not just symbolic, but truly transformative.

      <title>The Sisterhood of Ravensbrück: Inside Hitler’s All-Female Concentration Camp</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>In this episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with bestselling author Lynne Olson about her powerful new book, The Sisterhood of Ravensbrück. The conversation unearths the little-known history of French women—many from the resistance—who were captured and sent to Ravensbrück, the Nazis’ only all-female concentration camp.

Though they faced starvation, disease, forced labor, and the constant threat of execution, these women refused to surrender their dignity—or their purpose. They built a covert network inside the camp, shared banned news, sabotaged Nazi efforts, and supported one another through quiet but unwavering acts of resistance.

Olson’s research and storytelling illuminate the strength of ordinary women in extraordinary circumstances—and how their defiance, though often silent, continues to echo today.

This episode is a tribute to their memory, their courage, and a timely reminder that resistance takes many forms—and every act counts.

      <title>Before the 14th: Black Activists and the Battle for Citizenship</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>In light of this week's Supreme Court hearing that could redefine birthright citizenship in the United States, we’re revisiting one of our most insightful episodes from 2019.

Historian and legal scholar Martha S. Jones joins The Electorette to discuss her groundbreaking book, Birthright Citizens: A History of Race and Rights in Antebellum America. In this conversation, Professor Jones traces the legal and political battles waged by free Black Americans in the decades before the Civil War—activists who challenged the idea that citizenship was the exclusive domain of white Americans. Their efforts laid the groundwork for the 14th Amendment and reshaped the meaning of belonging in a multiracial democracy.

This episode explores the deep historical roots of birthright citizenship, its radical origins in Black freedom struggles, and the enduring threats it faces today. Whether you’re new to the topic or returning to it with fresh urgency, this conversation offers critical context for understanding the legal, moral, and democratic stakes.



(00:00) The History of Birthright Citizenship

Professor Jones and I revisit the critical history of birthright citizenship in America, exploring the struggles of formerly enslaved Black Americans.



(06:57) Interpreting the Constitution for Citizenship

Free African Americans used military service and economic contributions to advocate for citizenship and equality, utilizing their legal literacy and the omission of race in early constitutional texts.



(16:43) Debating Citizenship and Colonization

William Yates, a white abolitionist, authored "The Rights of Colored Men" to align abolitionism with the founding ideals of the US.



(28:44) Threats to Citizenship and Forced Removal

Former slaves pursued citizenship in the US to avoid colonization, but faced fears and pressures, leading to self-deportation and parallels with modern immigration policies.



(43:41) Global Implications of Citizenship Debate

Political and humanitarian debates have global implications and contribute to ongoing crises, emphasizing the need for vigilance and awareness.

      <title>The ACLU vs. Trump’s Executive Order: A Legal Fight to Protect the Vote</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>In this episode of The Electorette, host Jen Taylor-Skinner is joined by Sophia Lin Lakin, Director of the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project, to discuss the organization’s leading legal challenge against a dangerous new executive order from Donald Trump. While the SAVE Act has stalled in the Senate, this executive order picks up where it left off—imposing a proof-of-citizenship requirement for voter registration and threatening to disenfranchise millions of eligible voters. Lakin breaks down the overlapping threats, including mass voter roll purges and the decertification of voting machines that could throw election systems into chaos. This conversation is a critical look at how the ACLU is working to defend voting rights and prevent the erosion of our democratic institutions.

Episode Chapters

(00:00) Disenfranchisement Through Voting Restrictions

Discussion of ACLU lawsuit against Trump's executive order on voter registration, potential disenfranchisement, and impact on voting machines.

(12:36) Challenging Voter Registration Provisions

A court has issued an injunction against an executive order changing voter registration, impacting organizations and upcoming elections.

(25:49) Protecting Voter Rights and Elections

Establishing safeguards and rules to protect voters and democracy in the face of polarization and erosion of norms.

Lakin breaks down the overlapping threats, including mass voter roll purges and the decertification of voting machines that could throw election systems into chaos. This conversation is a critical look at how the <strong>ACLU</strong> is working to defend voting rights and prevent the erosion of our democratic institutions.</p>

      <title>Who Gets to Choose Your Doctor? The Supreme Court Case That Could Reshape Medicaid</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>What happens when states gain the power to decide which healthcare providers Medicaid recipients can access? In this episode, host Jen Taylor-Skinner is joined by Elizabeth Taylor, Executive Director of the National Health Law Program, to break down the high-stakes Supreme Court case Medina v. South Atlantic. At its core, the case challenges whether individuals have the right to choose their own healthcare provider under Medicaid—a right that could be stripped away, with profound implications for reproductive health, gender-affirming care, and essential services for low-income, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ communities.

Together, they explore how this case—and others like Health and Hospital Corp. v. Talevski—could reshape the legal tools individuals have to protect their healthcare rights, especially as conservative state leaders target clinics like Planned Parenthood. Elizabeth Taylor offers critical insight into the legal landscape, the political motivations behind these efforts, and why protecting Medicaid access is more urgent than ever.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about reproductive justice, healthcare equity, and the future of Medicaid.

      <title>Economic Chaos, by Design: Why economic instability is a feature, not a bug, of Trump-era policy</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Tariffs, Tax Cuts &amp; the Corporate Scam Economy

In this episode of The Electorette, host Jen Taylor-Skinner sits down with Lindsay Owens, Executive Director of Groundwork Collaborative, to dissect the chaos of Trump’s economic policies—and the hidden logic behind them. From erratic tariff announcements to the looming extension of the 2017 tax cuts for the wealthy, Lindsay reveals how economic “whiplash” is not just confusing—it’s calculated.

We explore how these policies are fueling inequality, harming working families, and creating fertile ground for corporate profiteering. Lindsay also explains how recession fears—some legitimate, others manufactured—are being used as cover for price gouging, layoffs, and cuts to essential services like Medicaid and food assistance.

This episode also revisits the devastating legacy of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, its role in pandemic-era profiteering, and why the American public never saw the promised benefits. With recession risks rising and the corporate safety net growing stronger while ours is being shredded, this is a must-listen for anyone trying to make sense of the headlines—and the high prices.


(00:00) Tariffs and Economic Uncertainty
Trump's tariffs create economic uncertainty, disproportionately affecting working and middle-class Americans while benefiting the wealthy and potentially causing a recession.

(08:52) Effects of Economic Policies on Americans
Trump's economic policies create uncertainty, risking recession and exploitation, with potential foreign policy motivations behind the trade war with China.

(21:44) The Impact of Economic Policies
Nature's impact on inflation in America and other countries, Biden's successful management, corporate price gouging, concerns about budget resolution's consequences.

(30:49) Republican Tax Cuts Under Trump Presidency
Republican trifecta focuses on tax breaks for the wealthy, with potential economic impacts and political motivations discussed by Lindsay Owens.

      <title>Power, Politics &amp; the Grid: Kate Gordon on America’s Energy Crossroads</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>What if the clean energy revolution isn’t coming—it’s already here, quietly reshaping global power, American manufacturing, and the way we heat our homes?

In this episode of The Electorette, host Jen Taylor-Skinner sits down with energy policy expert Kate Gordon to unpack the largest climate investment in U.S. history—and why most Americans barely noticed it. Together, they explore the ambitious trio of laws passed under the Biden administration—the Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the CHIPS and Science Act—which together form a bold, strategic roadmap for decarbonization, domestic manufacturing, and energy independence.

Kate walks us through the rarely-discussed connections between AI, electrification, and rising energy demand, the geopolitical aftershocks of Russia’s war in Ukraine, and why our energy future hinges on the power grid, community investment, and supply chain resilience.
We also confront the dangers ahead: environmental protections being rolled back, mass layoffs at the Department of Energy, and a growing political movement determined to unravel decades of climate progress.

This is a conversation about what’s working, what’s under threat, and why the clean energy transition isn’t just about science—it’s about power, politics, and the future of democracy itself.

Kate Gordon is an energy policy expert, and the CEO of California Forward, a statewide organization dedicated to a more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive economy across every region of the state.

Episode Chapters/Timestamps

(00:00) Investments in Climate Change Mitigation
The Biden administration's IRA includes transformative bills for clean energy, grid resilience, EV infrastructure, and semiconductor technology.

(12:47) Climate Investment Rollbacks and Tax Cuts
Rollback of environmental protections, tension in clean energy projects, contradictions in domestic manufacturing policies, and lack of coherence in climate action.

(24:20) Strategic Manufacturing and Resource Economics
Domestic manufacturing's complexities, strategic necessity of producing goods, geopolitical implications of resource economics, and challenges faced by Department of Energy.

(29:24) Impact of Federal Job Cuts
Recent staffing changes at DOE have led to loss of skilled professionals and highlight inefficiencies in federal hiring processes.

(33:47) Energy Security and Strategic Relationships
The Department of Energy's role in managing nuclear infrastructure, risks of operational missteps, cybersecurity for the power grid, energy independence, and challenges in communicating these concerns to the public.

      <title>Special Coverage: Is Dr. Oz Qualified to Lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services? A Conversation with Nourbese Flint</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>The Senate Finance Committee just advanced the nomination of Dr. Mehmet Oz to lead the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), bringing his confirmation one step closer to reality. In this bonus episode, Jen Taylor-Skinner is joined by Nourbese Flint, president of All* Above All, for a critical conversation about what’s at stake.

CMS oversees vital programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act—making its leadership role one of the most powerful in shaping national healthcare policy. Dr. Oz, widely known for promoting unscientific treatments and holding controversial views, raises serious concerns—particularly for reproductive justice and the health of marginalized communities.
Nourbese shares her perspective on the qualifications this role demands and reflects on the legacy of past CMS leaders, such as Chiquita Brooks-LaSure. We discuss the broader implications of Dr. Oz’s potential confirmation, including its impact on maternal health and the risks posed to vulnerable populations.

Our conversation also explores the importance of grassroots resistance and political engagement in holding policymakers accountable. Nourbese offers strategies for community action and underscores why staying informed and involved is more important than ever.

      <title>What Does Rural America Want? A Conversation with Sarah Jaynes of the Rural Democracy Initiative</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>How can we combat disinformation in rural communities and empower voters with accurate information? In this episode, host Jen Taylor-Skinner sits down with Sarah Jaynes, Executive Director of the Rural Democracy Initiative, to explore how grassroots efforts, local media, and community influencers are pushing back against misinformation and mobilizing civic engagement in small towns across America.

They discuss the shifting political landscape in rural areas, the economic consequences of recent policy decisions—such as cuts to USAID and Medicaid—and the power of local elections in reshaping the future. Sarah also dispels common myths about rural communities, highlighting their diversity and the often-overlooked support for progressive policies, LGBTQ rights, and workers' issues.

With democracy at a crossroads, Sarah and Jen examine what it will take for Democratic leaders to show real strength, the impact of rural organizing in key swing districts, and why rural voices are essential in shaping national policy.

      <title>She Waited 20 Hours for Care—The Abortion Ban Cost Her Life | Amber Thurman's Mother Speaks Out</title>
      <link>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSxSqPBGcTQ&amp;t=13s</link>
      <description>Amber Nicole Thurman was a 28-year-old medical assistant, devoted mother from Georgia, and one of the first women to die following the Dobbs decision. In August 2022, she sought a medication abortion due to an unplanned pregnancy. Following the procedure, she experienced severe complications, including a grave infection. Despite her critical condition, medical staff at Piedmont Henry Hospital delayed performing a necessary dilation and curettage (D&amp;C) procedure for over 20 hours, reportedly due to concerns about Georgia's restrictive abortion laws. In this episode, Amber Thurman's mother, Shanette Williams, speaks with Jen Taylor-Skinner about her daughter's death, the delayed care, and the urgency to restore reproductive rights across the country.

      <link>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svTohAaTHuk&amp;t=297s</link>
      <description>Congressional Republicans have fast-tracked the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act)—legislation that could disenfranchise tens of millions of American voters by imposing strict new citizenship verification requirements.

Host Jen Taylor-Skinner sits down with Eliza Sweren-Becker from the Brennan Center for Justice to break down the dangers of the SAVE Act, who it targets, and how it could reshape American democracy. From hidden costs to criminal penalties for election workers, this bill is more than just restrictive—it’s a direct attack on voting rights.

      <title>Transforming Postpartum Care: Addressing America's Maternal Health Crisis | Natalie Davis of United States of Care</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Natalie Davis, CEO of United States of Care, joins The Electorette host Jen Taylor-Skinner to examine the critical postpartum care crisis in the United States. Despite being a high-income nation, America’s maternal mortality rates highlight significant gaps in postpartum support. Davis discusses The 100 Weeks Project, a groundbreaking initiative designed to transform postpartum care by providing comprehensive, personalized support from conception through the first year postpartum. This initiative addresses the physical, mental, and social needs of mothers, fathers, and partners alike.
The conversation shifts to the challenges of healthcare access for families, focusing on insurance disparities that disproportionately affect mothers. Davis and Taylor-Skinner explore cultural and societal barriers that hinder progress and discuss the need for a reimagined healthcare system—one that recognizes diverse family structures and guarantees essential care for all mothers.
The discussion also highlights the emotional toll of navigating the healthcare system, particularly for mothers facing early motherhood struggles and NICU experiences. With the Supreme Court case Braidwood v. Becerra threatening to dismantle free preventive healthcare services under the Affordable Care Act, Davis underscores the urgent need for advocacy and systemic change.
This episode offers an insightful and urgent call to action, emphasizing the importance of healthcare advocacy and the need for accessible, equitable postpartum care nationwide.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Natalie Davis</strong>, CEO of <strong>United States of Care</strong>, joins <em>The Electorette</em> host <strong>Jen Taylor-Skinner</strong> to examine the critical <strong>postpartum care crisis</strong> in the United States. Despite being a high-income nation, America’s <strong>maternal mortality rates</strong> highlight significant gaps in postpartum support. Davis discusses <strong>The 100 Weeks Project</strong>, a groundbreaking initiative designed to transform postpartum care by providing <strong>comprehensive, personalized support</strong> from conception through the first year postpartum. This initiative addresses the <strong>physical, mental, and social</strong> needs of mothers, fathers, and partners alike.</p><p>The conversation shifts to the <strong>challenges of healthcare access for families</strong>, focusing on <strong>insurance disparities</strong> that disproportionately affect mothers. Davis and Taylor-Skinner explore <strong>cultural and societal barriers</strong> that hinder progress and discuss the <strong>need for a reimagined healthcare system</strong>—one that recognizes <strong>diverse family structures</strong> and guarantees essential care for all mothers.</p><p>The discussion also highlights the <strong>emotional toll of navigating the healthcare system</strong>, particularly for mothers facing <strong>early motherhood struggles and NICU experiences</strong>. With the <strong>Supreme Court case Braidwood v. Becerra</strong> threatening to dismantle <strong>free preventive healthcare services</strong> under the <strong>Affordable Care Act</strong>, Davis underscores the urgent need for <strong>advocacy and systemic change</strong>.</p><p>This episode offers an insightful and urgent call to action, emphasizing the <strong>importance of healthcare advocacy</strong> and the need for <strong>accessible, equitable postpartum care</strong> nationwide.</p><p>📢 <strong>Subscribe for more insightful conversations.</strong></p><p><strong>Timestamps:</strong></p><p>(00:01) - Postpartum Care Crisis in America</p><p>(14:06) - Reimagining Healthcare for Postpartum Mothers</p><p>(24:47) - Threat to Free Preventive Health Services</p><p>(34:59) - Healthcare Advocacy and Resources</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Episode Chapters:</strong></p><p>(00:01) <strong>Postpartum Care Crisis in America</strong></p><p>Maternal mortality rates and lack of support in postpartum care addressed through innovative 100 Weeks Project.</p><p>(14:06) <strong>Reimagining Healthcare for Postpartum Mothers</strong></p><p>Insurance disparities and societal expectations hinder mothers' access to adequate postpartum care and highlight systemic issues in healthcare.</p><p>(24:47) <strong>Threat to Free Preventive Health Services</strong></p><p>Mothers face emotional challenges in postpartum care, while a Supreme Court case threatens women's healthcare accessibility.</p><p>(34:59) <strong>Healthcare Advocacy and Resources</strong></p><p>United States of Care addresses healthcare issues such as the 100 Weeks Project and the Preventive Services Court Case.</p><p><strong>#PostpartumCare #MaternalHealth #UnitedStatesofCare #NatalieDavis #HealthEquity #AffordableCareAct #BraidwoodvBecerra #HealthcareAdvocacy #Electorette #ReproductiveRights</strong></p><h1>In this Episode</h1><p>United States of Care</p><p>100 Days of Care</p><h1>Listen to All Electorette Episodes</h1><p>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</p><h1>Support the Electorette</h1><p><a href="https://apple.co/2GsfQj4"><strong>Rate &amp; Review on iTunes</strong>:</a> <a href="https://apple.co/2GsfQj4">https://apple.co/2GsfQj4</a></p><p><strong>Also, if you enjoy the </strong><a href="http://www.electorette.com/"><strong>Electorette</strong></a>, please subscribe and <strong>leave a 5-star review on iTunes</strong>.

      <title>The NAACP’s Fight for Democracy: Patrice Willoughby on 2024, Project 2025 &amp; Black Voter Power</title>
      <description>For over a century, the NAACP has been a driving force in the fight for civil rights, shaping American democracy through groundbreaking legal victories, grassroots activism, and political advocacy. From dismantling segregation in Brown v. Board of Education to championing the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, the NAACP’s impact is undeniable. And today, their fight continues.
In this episode, I sit down with Patrice Willoughby, Chief of Policy and Legislative Affairs at the NAACP, for a powerful conversation about the organization's modern-day advocacy. We discuss their efforts to protect democracy during the 2024 presidential cycle, their response to Project 2025, and their strategy to mobilize Black voters.
We also dive into the Kamala Harris campaign, the evolving role of Black women in politics, and how future campaigns can authentically engage with Black communities.

      <description>In this final episode of the season, I have a casual and meaningful conversation with a friend: essayist and National Endowment for the Arts Fellow, Leta McCollough Seletzky. Leta joins me to discuss the impact Black women had on this election, on Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, and we explore how the campaign affected us personally. We also discuss how the country's treatment of marginalized people, particularly Black women, is a bellwether for anti-democratic trends.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>Pamela Smith</strong>, election security expert and President and CEO of <strong>Verified Voting</strong>, delves into the critical aspects of voting integrity, and gets into the weeds of voting equipment, voter purges, ballot audits, recount procedures, and the hand-counting process, while addressing every conceivable question on election security. We also revisit the historic 2000 Presidential Election between George W. Bush and Al Gore, exploring the notorious "hanging chad" incident.

      <title>Ballot Measures Are Having a Moment: A $30 Million Push by The Fairness Project with Kelly Hall</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Kelly Hall, the Executive Director of The Fairness Project, an organization focused on empowering voters through citizen-led ballot measures, has become the country's largest backers of abortion ballot measures, investing $30M to critical ballot campaigns like those in Arizona, Florida, Missouri, Montana, and Nebraska. Ballot measures have become a critical lifeline to strengthening, restoring and expanding abortion rights across the country. Kelly discusses what's on this ballot this year, including what's going on in Nebraska—where a competing anti-abortion measure aims to mislead voters.

      <title>More Moms in Office Can Change Everything: A Conversation with Liuba Grechen Shirley, Founder &amp; CEO of Vote Mama</title>

      <description>In 2018, Liuba Grechen Shirley launched a historic congressional campaign to represent New York’s 2nd District in the U.S. House of Representatives—all while raising two young children under six-years-old. As her demanding campaign schedule clashed with limited access to affordable childcare, Liuba quickly realized the whole thing was untenable. So, six months into her campaign, Liuba petitioned the Federal Election Commission, making history as the first woman to receive federal approval to spend campaign funds for childcare. This experience inspired her to launch the Vote Mama Foundation, dedicated to empowering mothers to run for office. In this episode, Liuba discusses the importance of having pro-choice moms elected to office, the double standard that women candidates face, and how electing moms, up and down the ballot, benefits everyone.

      <title>Climate Power's Massive Investment in Black Voter Engagement: A Conversation with Markeya Thomas</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Senior Advisor for Black Engagement for Climate Power, Markeya Thomas, discusses the organization's $10 Million Black Engagement program, aimed at mobilizing Black voters around climate change, in battleground states. Climate Power is focus on educating voters on the differences between the two campaigns—one which has a track record of putting forth policies that create green jobs, with a history of holding big oil companies accountable, and the other, which has primarily denied climate science, and has a track record of supporting big oil's agenda. The conversation focuses on what climate messaging motivates Black voters ahead of the November election, and how Black communities are disproportionately impacted by the climate crisis.

      <title>How the Threat of Sexual Violence in Electoral Politics is Both Racist &amp; Sexist: A Conversation with Dr. Nicole Bedera</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Sociologist, and sexual violence researcher, Dr. Nicole Bedera, discusses her new book, On the Wrong Side: How Universities Protect Perpetrators and Betray Survivors of Sexual Violence. The book is a must-read, and Dr. Bedera's research often spills over into conversations on social media — like a recent thread in which she unpacks how the implicit thread of sexual violence, has seeped into political rhetoric — and it's employed in a way that's both racist, and sexist.

      <itunes:summary>Sociologist, and sexual violence researcher, Dr. Nicole Bedera, discusses her new book, On the Wrong Side: How Universities Protect Perpetrators and Betray Survivors of Sexual Violence. The book is a must-read, and Dr. Bedera's research often spills over into conversations on social media — like a recent thread in which she unpacks how the implicit thread of sexual violence, has seeped into political rhetoric — and it's employed in a way that's both racist, and sexist.

      <title>Special Coverage of the Democratic National Convention: How Alabama Representative Marilyn Lands Ran on Reproductive Rights &amp; Flipped a Red District</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Alabama Representative Marilyn Lands, made headlines earlier this year when she defeated a Republican in a special election, and flipped a red district—a district that Trump had previously won by a large margin. And she did it by sharing her own abortion story. Lands joins me to discuss that election, her upcoming legislative goals, as well as, how leaning into a personal narrative, especially on reproductive rights, can help win elections.

      <description>Author, and award-winning political strategist, Atima Omara, joins me to discuss the energy and enthusiasm behind Vice President Kamala Harris and Tim Walz's campaign. We discuss whether this energy will translate to more trust and support for women candidates in the future, particularly Black women, and other women of color who run for office. We also talk about the chemistry between Harris and Walz, Walz's legislative background, and what other men in office can learn from his record.

      <title>Is There Hope for Abortion Rights in Florida? A Conversation with Leader Fentrice Driskell</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Leader Fentrice Driskell of the Florida House of Representatives discusses Florida's extreme abortion law, which earlier this year banned abortion at 6 weeks — before most women know they're pregnant.  However, there is light at the end of the tunnel, as there is an initiative on the Florida ballot this November, which, if passed, could significantly expand access in the state. Leader Driskell also discusses the importance of Vice President Kamala Harris's leadership on reproductive rights.

      <title>How Women Keep the Country from Falling Apart: A Conversation with Professor Jessica Calarco</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/19d724fa/how-women-keep-the-country-from-falling-apart-a-conversation-with-professor-jessica-calarco</link>
      <description>Esteemed sociology professor, Jessica Calarco, discusses her new book "Holding It Together: How Women Became America's Safety Net." While other countries have an adequate social safety net, with services that include universal childcare, paid leave, and other services, America has instead locked women into this role. In this episode, Professor Calarco discusses how America has historically and systemically locked women into the role of becoming America's default caregivers, and its de facto social safety net.

      <title>When Disinformation Targets Black Voters: Esosa Osa Explains the 2024 Disinformation Landscape</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/2fb3afb9/when-disinformation-targets-black-voters-esosa-osa-explains-the-2024-disinformation-landscape</link>
      <description>Esosa Osa, the founder and CEO of Onyx Impact, an organization that fights the harmful information ecosystems that target Black communities, discusses how misinformation and disinformation campaigns target the Black community and voters. Osa served as the Senior Advisor to Stacey Abrams' gubernatorial campaign, and is the former deputy direction of Fair Fight Action — roles which helped hone her skills in spotting and combatting disinformation campaigns which targeted Black voters. She also explains the role of social media platforms, like TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter, play in helping to proliferate harmful disinformation, as well as, the role of foreign-influence campaigns, like the Russian tactics employed during the 2016 election cycle. Lastly, we discuss the role of AI and how the quickly evolving technology will make it even harder to detect, and fight disinformation.

      <title>How Democrats Can Win Big on Immigration with Beatriz Lopez of Immigration Hub</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/1d2c56d7/how-democrats-can-win-big-on-immigration-with-beatriz-lopez-of-immigration-hub</link>
      <description>Beatriz Lopez, the deputy director of the Immigration Hub, an organization dedicated to advancing fair and just immigration policies, discusses the GOP's strategy of using a multi-faceted misinformation machine to fuel anti-immigration sentiment — a fear-based strategy they've invested hundreds of millions of advertising dollars in, that they hope will result in a win at the ballot box. Beatriz Lopez believes that Democrats can counter the Republican strategy, by appealing to voters' desire to end the chaos at the border, to end cruel policies, and by leaning into our shared values as Americans.

      <title>The Slippery Slope of Alabama's Supreme Court IVF Ruling: A Conversation with Betsy Campbell of RESOLVE</title>

      <description>Betsy Campbell, the Chief Engagement Officer at RESOLVE The National Infertility Association, discusses the immediate, as well as the long term implications of the Alabama Supreme Court ruling that granted personhood status to embryos created during fertility treatments — a decision which effectively banned IVF treatments in the state. Since the ruling, a number of IVF clinics in Alabama have suspended their treatments, leaving families and their doctors, devastated. In this conversation, Betsy Campbell discusses where we go from here, what states should be on the radar for future IVF bans, and how you can protect fertility care in your state.

      <description>Frédérique Irwin, President of the National Women’s History Museum, discusses their current exhibit, We Who Believe in Freedom: Black Feminist DC. The exhibit traces Black feminism in Washington, DC from the turn of the 20th century through the civil rights and on through to Black Power movements of today. Curated by renowned historians Sherie M. Randolph and Kendra T. Field, the exhibition focuses on the stories and voices of Black feminist organizers and theorists— including Anna Julia Cooper, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Mary Treadwell, and Nkenge Touré—whose expansive work made a difference in the lives of Black women in their Washington, DC communities and for all people throughout the United States.

      <title>New Study: Black Women In White Workplaces Are More Likely to Have Worse Career Outcomes</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/317ba4ee/new-study-black-women-in-white-workplaces-are-more-likely-to-have-worse-career-outcomes</link>
      <description>New landmark research, by Associate Professor Dr. Elizabeth Linos and co-authors, indicates that Black women may have worse career outcomes when their teams have a greater share of white colleagues. The research out of the Harvard Kennedy School finds that Black women on white teams are more likely to be labeled as "low performers." Additionally, they are promoted less often, and experience higher attrition rates when compared to their peers.
Dr. Elizabeth Linos is the Emma Bloomberg Associate Professor for Public Policy and Management, and Faculty Director of The People Lab at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.

      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/2199a6a4/american-identity-in-crisis-kat-calvin-discusses-the-26-million-americans-without-id</link>
      <description>26 million American adults do not have ID—ID they need to get housing, medical care, a bank account, and other life-saving services. Following the 2016 election, Kat Calvin, the founder of Spread the Vote and Co-Founder and CEO of the Project ID Action Fund, set out to do something about it. Kat joins The Electorette to discuss her new book, American Identity in Crisis: Notes from an Accidental Activist, where she chronicles her journey as an activist and organizer, and walks us through the failures and successes during the earliest days of the organization, and her tireless efforts to help people get the ID they need to live full lives.
From This Episode

Virginia Kase Solomón, the CEO of the League of Women Voters and a lifetime champion of civil rights and social justice, joins The Electorette to discuss the history of the women's suffrage movement, the passage of the 19th Amendment, and Women's Equality Day—which they've coined Women's Inequality Day to bring attention to the work that still needs to be done in the fight for equality. Solomón discusses the ways in which narratives around the Women's Suffrage Movement have been romanticized, and suggests ways to discuss this part of our history moving forward. We talk about Affirmative Action, and how the recent Supreme Court decision to end race-conscious admissions will ultimately affect all marginalized groups, including women. Lastly, we discuss the upcoming election cycle, and the importance of full participation, because as Solomón puts it, "We are voting for our lives."

      <title>How To Create a Fairer Economy Free From Structural Racism: A Conversation with Alejandra Montoya-Boyer of Prosperity Now</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/4887a68c/how-to-create-a-fairer-economy-free-from-structural-racism-a-conversation-with-alejandra-montoya-boyer-of-prosperity-now</link>
      <description>Alejandra Montoya-Boyer, the Director of Policy at Prosperity Now, talks about how we can create long-term economic equity through legislative policy like an expansion of the Child Tax Credit, and a broader investment in Baby Bonds. We also talk about the impact of IRS tax policy, which currently targets much of its enforcement power to the lowest-income families, as auditing the poor is relatively easy and inexpensive compared to auditing the rich; tweaking the tax code so that the distribution of enforcement power isn't aligned in favor of the wealthiest Americans would greatly reduce the wealth gap.

ABOUT THE GUEST
Alejandra Montoya-Boyer is the Director of Policy at Prosperity Now where she oversees the development and implementation of federal, state, and local policy that seeks to improve economic opportunity for BIPOC and low-income families and communities.

      <title>Moving the Needle: What Tight Labor Markets Do for the Poor with Katherine Newman &amp; Elisabeth Jacobs</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/19d712df/moving-the-needle-what-tight-labor-markets-do-for-the-poor-with-katherine-newman-and-elisabeth-jacobs</link>
      <description>In their groundbreaking new book MOVING THE NEEDLE: What Tight Labor Markets Do for the Poor, Katherine S. Newman and Elisabeth S. Jacobs explore what happens when jobs are plentiful and workers are hard to come by, showing how very low unemployment boosts wages at the bottom, improves benefits, lengthens job ladders, and pulls the unemployed into a booming job market.
From This Episode
MOVING THE NEEDLE: What Tight Labor Markets Do for the Poor
ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Katherine Newman is a sociologist and academic leader who has worked at UC Berkeley, Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, Johns Hopkins and the University of Massachusetts. She is the author of 15 books on aspects of inequality, poverty, inner city society, the working poor, upskilling and social mobility (upward and downward), school violence. Her books have won the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, the Sidney Hilman Prize, and honorable mention for the C Wright Mills Award. She is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the recipient of awards for public scholarship from both the American Sociological Association and the American Anthropological Association. 
Elisabeth Jacobs is a Harvard-trained sociologist with two decades of experience at the intersection of scholarly research and public policy. Early in her career, she served as a policy advisor for the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions under Senator Edward M. Kennedy, and for the Joint Economic Committee of the U.S. Congress. Prior to joining the Urban Institute, Jacobs helped build the Washington Center for Equitable Growth, and served as a fellow at the Brookings Institution. At Urban, Jacobs co-founded and leads WorkRise, a research-to-action network for jobs, workers, and mobility. She is the author of myriad reports and briefs on aspects of inequality, poverty, and economic mobility, with an emphasis on translating high-quality scholarship into accessible, actionable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and other changemakers seeking to improve the lives of all Americans.

She is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the recipient of awards for public scholarship from both the American Sociological Association and the American Anthropological Association.

      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/21e47541/how-political-narratives-utilize-motherhood-to-advance-agendas-with-julie-kohler</link>
      <description>Julie Kohler is a writer, an activist, and host of the podcast, White Picket Fence, and she joins Electorette to explore motherhood as a political force. We discuss the ways in which political narratives that center motherhood can use or manipulative the image of motherhood to advance political agendas. We also discuss the ways in which conservatives have increasingly injected violence into political messaging while pairing it with images of motherhood.

      <description>Kat Calvin, the founder and executive director of Spread The Vote, and Project ID discusses the state of voter ID laws, and addresses the problem of tackling the approximately 26 million eligible voters who are without the necessary ID to vote. We also discuss how the expense and red tape of obtaining ID creates a separate class of citizens, one in which those without ID are often unable to secure housing, jobs, benefits, and even medical care. Lastly, Kat discusses her upcoming book, American Identity Crisis.

We also discuss how the expense and red tape of obtaining ID creates a separate class of citizens, one in which those without ID are often unable to secure housing, jobs, benefits, and even medical care.

      <title>Exploring the Economic Cost of the Pandemic for Women Around the World with Mary Ellen Iskenderian</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/2596a14b/exploring-the-economic-cost-of-the-pandemic-for-women-around-the-world-with-mary-ellen-iskenderian</link>
      <description>The president and CEO of Women's World Banking, Mary Ellen Iskenderian, discusses how women globally disproportionately bore the economic cost of the pandemic, and how for many women, the concept of microfinance has been an economic lifeline, especially for many women in developing countries. We also discuss her recent book, There’s Nothing Micro About a Billion Women, in which Iskenderian explores some of the personal stories of the nearly one billion women have been completely excluded from the formal financial system.
Mentioned in this episode:
There’s Nothing Micro About a Billion Women by Mary Ellen Iskenderian
The World Bank’s latest Global Findex report which has shown that 742 million women in the world are still without access to formal financial services. If this were a country, it would be the 3rd largest in the world and twice the population of the United States.

      <description>When Kate Dineen and her husband sought abortion care in the state of Massachusetts, following a devastating MRI revealed that the baby she was carrying had a 50% chance of dying before birth, or shortly thereafter. Dineen shares the nightmarish journey to access a later term abortion in her very blue town of Boston, even though local abortion laws should have protected her access to abortion care.

      <title>How Political Races Change When Two Women Compete with Amanda Hunter of the Barbara Lee Family Foundation</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/3f138200/how-political-races-change-when-two-women-compete-with-amanda-hunter-of-the-barbara-lee-family-foundation</link>
      <description>Amanda Hunter, the Executive Director of the Barbara Lee Family Foundation, discusses their new research exploring how political races change when two women compete. In our conversation we explore key findings including how women must prove their qualifications, where men are assumed to be qualified—a fact that doesn't change when the race is between two women. Also, we discuss the significant racial, gender, and partisan differences that shape how voters view the importance of electing women and people of color.

      <title>Can State Legislatures Protect Us from the End of Roe v Wade with Lala Wu of Sister District</title>

      <description>Lala Wu, the Executive Director of the Sister District Project, discusses the Supreme Court opinion leak which revealed that conservative justices were planning to overturn Roe v Wade, thus making abortion illegal. We address whether access to birth control may be their next target, what state legislatures can do to mitigate the harms of overturning Roe v Wade, and how we can fight back against attacks on reproductive rights.

Lastly, we discuss The Facebook Papers.

      <title>My Old Kentucky Home: The racist history behind the Kentucky Derby's opening song with historian Emily Bingham</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/2a0f2010/my-old-kentucky-home-the-racist-history-behind-the-kentucky-derbys-opening-song-with-historian-emily-bingham</link>
      <description>Emily Bingham, a historian and Louisville-native, has spent years examining the troubling history of this iconic American melody, the Kentucky's State Anthem, "My Old Kentucky Home." She provides an analysis and an historical context for the song's lyrics, and given it's problematic association with mistral shows, she addresses the question of how to move forward while learning from the country's painful legacy of slavery.

      <title>Diversity in Government Representation, and Republican Efforts to Weaken Access to the Ballot with Lala Wu of Sister District</title>

      <description>Lala Wu, the Executive Director of the Sister District Project, discusses the historic confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, and the impact and importance of having diverse representation at all levels of government. We also discuss the status of the Republican long-game to undermine democracy, specifically as it relates to redrawing congressional maps. Recently, Republicans attempted to apply a fringe constitutional theory called Independent State Legislature doctrine to further weaken voting rights in a few key states; Lala Wu explains why this strategy failed in the short-term, but may be a concern in the long run.

      <title>What the Progressive Caucus Gets Wrong About Russia with Kimberly St Julian-Varnon</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/22ed6631/what-the-progressive-caucus-gets-wrong-about-russia-with-kimberly-st-julian-varnon</link>
      <description>When members of the Progressive Caucus released a statement regarding United States involvement in Ukraine, Kimberly St Julian-Varnon, a PhD student in Soviet, Russian, E. European history and presidential fellow in the Department of History at Pennsylvania, had some concerns over some of the talking points. Kimberly St Julian-Varnon is in an expert on the region, and its history, and she wrote an essay, titled "Ice Cream Diplomacy" breaking down familiar rhetoric around the conflict, in particular the administration's response, and corrects frequently repeated fallacies. We discuss her essay, as well as, the history of Russia's aggression towards Ukraine.

      <description>The economic fallout following the pandemic will affect certain segments of the population harder than others; women, people of color, Black Americans, and other marginalized groups will have a tougher professional and economic road ahead of them once the pandemic ends. The effects of the pandemic on groups who are burdened by intergenerational poverty will be even deeper. Alison Moore, the CEO of Comic Relief US, and Fardosa Hussein, a documentary photographer, and a member of Comic Relief's Youth Advisory Council, join me to discuss the impact of the pandemic on intergenerational poverty, and what steps we need to take to address it.

      <description>Gaby Goldstein, cofounder of The Sister District Project, discusses the history of how Republicans gained majorities in state legislatures, and the ways in which they've used that power to shrink rights, including voting rights., and reproductive rights. She also provides some practical solutions for Democrats to begin to win over majorities in state legislatures, starting with Virginia: one of the few states in which Democrats hold a legislative trifecta.

      <description>Maya Contreras is an activist, a voting rights advocate, and now she's running for Congress in New York's 12th District. Maya was one of the very first guests on The Electorette, and has always been passionate about legislation that works for everyday working people. We talk about what drove her to run for office, and why she chose to primary a sitting Democratic incumbent. We also discuss current legislation, like the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and why she believes Congress is at an impasse in passing some of our most transformative bills.

      <title>Just Get on the Pill: The Uneven Burden of Reproductive Politics with Dr. Krystale Littlejohn</title>

      <description>Dr. Krystale Littlejohn discusses her book "Just Get on the Pill: The Uneven Burden of Reproductive Politics," which argues that the burden placed on people who give birth is unequal, and that they are held accountable for preventing and resolving pregnancies in gender-constrained ways. We discuss how this is a reproductive justice issue, and that balancing the responsibility for pregnancy prevention would ease the emotional and domestic labor often placed primarily on women, and people who give birth.

      <description>Lala Wu, the Cofounder and Executive Director of Sister District,
Lala Wu, the Cofounder and Executive Director of Sister District, an organization focused on building progressive political power via state legislative seats, discusses the outcome of the 2020 Census Data. Additionally, we discuss how the GOP has been able to use the census data over the past decade to build unfair redistricting maps, and use their power in state legislatures to create Draconian laws like the recent Texas Heartbeat abortion can. Lastly, we talk about what Democrats and Progressives can do to counter the Republican power grab.

      <title>Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism with Katherine Stewart</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/39b9d1ea/inside-the-dangerous-rise-of-religious-nationalism-with-katherine-stewart</link>
      <description>Journalist and author, Katherine Stewart, discusses her latest book titled "The Power Worshipers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism." We discuss the history of how the religious right became entangled in politics, and how it has masked itself as a social moment, but in reality is a political movement - shaping everything from fiscal policy to abortion access.

      <title>BONUS: Introducing The Gatekeepers</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast</link>
      <description>Who owns public space? Although segregation legally ended in 1964 with the passing of the Civil Rights Act, informal policing of public spaces has continued. Recent viral videos where people of color are confronted in public spaces, are only half the story. From parks, to pools, to neighborhoods, to college campuses, people of color are being policed from public spaces. The podcast takes a deep historical dive to uncover past instances of citizen policing, and seeks to uncover the motivations behind more recent events.

      <title>Fatima Goss Graves on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Legacy on the Supreme Court</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/f04de79d/fatima-goss-graves-on-justice-ruth-bader-ginsburgs-legacy-on-the-supreme-court</link>
      <description>Fatima Goss Graves, the CEO &amp; President of the National Women's Law Center (NWLC), discusses Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's legacy on the Supreme Court, what that legacy meant for women, as well as, a few of Justice Ginsburg's most memorable decisions. We also discuss the current process to replace Justice Ginsburg, and how it reveals the vulnerabilities in our democracy. Lastly, we discuss how the Bush V Gore decision of 2000 demonstrates why rushing to replace Ginsburg so close to an election, is simply a power grab on the part of Republicans, and is historically anomalous to replacing Supreme Court justices.

      <title>Biden's Agenda for the Latino Community with Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/2cd82d35/bidens-agenda-for-the-latino-community-with-congresswoman-sylvia-garcia</link>
      <description>Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia, of Texas's 29th Congressional District, discusses Biden's agenda for the Latino community, including his plans to expand healthcare access to undocumented immigrants, an increase in the minimum wage, and the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on the Latino community. She also addresses criticisms on whether the campaign has done enough outreach to the Latino community. Additionally, we discuss Dr. Jill Biden's response to the tragic case of Ft. Hood soldier, Vanessa Guillén, who was murdered in Fort Hood, Texas.

      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/24178ef9/page-gardner-founder-and-president-of-the-voter-participation-center</link>
      <description>Page Gardner is the founder and board chair of Voter Participation Center and its partner organization founder, the Center for Voter Information. The Voter Participation Center has helped 4.6 million voters register and get to the polls.
Page Gardner was a pioneer in recognizing unmarried women as a key political voting bloc with significant and impactful political power. We discuss what's called the “marriage gap” between unmarried and married women, in relation to their registration habits and voting behaviors.
We also discuss income gap for unmarried women, in the context of the coronavirus outbreak, given that unmarried women generally have less financial stability when compared to married women and will undoubtedly be hit harder by the economic fallout following the pandemic.

      <title>Chryl Laird, "Steadfast Democrats: How Social Forces Shape Black Political Behavior"</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/3cd6b5a7/chryl-laird-steadfast-democrats-how-social-forces-shape-black-political-behavior</link>
      <description>CHRYL LAIRD
Chyrl Laird, is a political analyst, author and professor, who specializes in Race and Ethnic Politics and Political Psychology. In her new book titled, "Steadfast Democrats: How Social Forces Shape Black Political Behavior," which Laird coauthored along with Ismail White, they analyze the historical political patterns of Black voters, and explore the question of why Black Americans are by far the most unified racial group in American electoral politics. They argue that the roots of black political unity were originally established through the adversities of slavery and segregation, when black Americans forged uniquely strong social bonds for survival and resistance. 
In this conversation, Chryl Laird draws parallels to the historical examples from the book and correlate them to more recent political events, like Democratic primary for instance.

      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/272d458b/nadine-strossen-hate-why-we-should-resist-it-with-free-speech-not-censorship</link>
      <description>NADINE STROSSEN
Nadine Strossen, is an activist, professor, and was the first woman and youngest president of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). She is also the author of the book "HATE: Why We Should Resist it With Free Speech, Not Censorship," which explores arguments around "Hate Speech" vs. "Free Speech."
We discuss the definition of hate speech, and how one quantifies harm caused when hate speech is directed at individuals or groups. We also explore legal arguments around censorship, as well as, non-censorial methods for curbing hateful speech.

We discuss the definition of hate speech, and how one quantifies harm caused when hate speech is directed at individuals or groups. We also explore legal arguments around censorship, as well as, non-censorial methods for curbing hateful speech.

      <description>Julie Kohler
Julie Kohler, a Fellow in Residence at the National Women's Law Center (NWLC), discusses their new analysis which shows that women are more effective state legislators than men. We discuss the implications of these findings and discuss examples of how women elected to legislative positions have used this power to pass progressive legislation like Paid Family Leave or expansions to voting rights.

      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/e3acc895/kate-kelly-activist-and-advocate-for-womens-rights-discusses-the-equal-rights-amendment</link>
      <description>Kate Kelly
On this episode, I discuss the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) with passionate advocate and activist for women's rights, Kate Kelly. We discuss the role that the state of Virginia will play in finally ratifying the ERA, after it was introduced nearly a century ago.
About Today's Guest:
In 2013 Kate Kelly founded a group called Ordain Women to advocate for gender equality in the Mormon Church. She was convicted of apostasy by 3 male Mormon leaders &amp; excommunicated from the church in June 2014 for speaking out against the institutional oppression of women.
Throughout her legal career, she has been committed to defending human rights, the rights of refugees and asylum seekers, as well as, the rights of other marginalized groups.

On this episode, I discuss the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) with passionate advocate and activist for women's rights, Kate Kelly. We discuss the role that the state of Virginia will play in finally ratifying the ERA, after it was introduced nearly a century ago.
About Today's Guest:
In 2013 Kate Kelly founded a group called Ordain Women to advocate for gender equality in the Mormon Church. She was convicted of apostasy by 3 male Mormon leaders &amp; excommunicated from the church in June 2014 for speaking out against the institutional oppression of women.
Throughout her legal career, she has been committed to defending human rights, the rights of refugees and asylum seekers, as well as, the rights of other marginalized groups.

      <description>This episode features a conversation with Jennifer Kavanagh, a political scientist and researcher for the RAND Corporation. We discuss their recent study, Truth Decay: A RAND Initiative to Restore the Role of Facts and Analysis in Public Life. RAND defines Truth Decay as the diminishing role of facts and data in American public life. We discuss the four trends that characterize Truth Decay as well as examine some recent and historical examples. We also make the distinction between Fake News and Truth Decay as well as discuss the role of social media and the 24 hour news cycle.

      <title>Every District: Nicole Hobbs, Executive Director of EveryDistrict.US Discusses State Legislative Races</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/34d0f75c/every-district-nicole-hobbs-executive-director-of-everydistrictus-discusses-state-legislative-races</link>
      <description>What do Democrats need to win more legislative power throughout the country? To put a stop to extreme gerrymandering? To pass the Equal Rights Amendment, a constitutional amendment guaranteeing equal rights to all Americans regardless of gender? To pass stricter gun control laws?
According to Nicole Hobbs, Executive Director of Every District, an organization dedicated to helping Democrats win more power at the state level, Democrats need to win more state legislative races to move the country in a more progressive direction; and they especially need to win states races in order to create fairer district electoral maps.
In our conversation, Nicole Hobbs discusses why Democrats won some state legislative seats in 2018 and lost others; she also explains what we need to do to win key states in 2019 and 2020.

      <title>National Paid Leave by 2022? Katie Bethell of PL+US Has a Plan for That! (Pt 1/2)</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/3c86ad95/national-paid-leave-by-2022-katie-bethell-of-plus-has-a-plan-for-that-pt-12</link>
      <description>Katie Bethell, founder of the PL+US (Paid Leave For the United States), talks about their national campaign to win paid family leave by 2022. PL+US has already had several successes within the private sector and has already won paid family leave for nearly 6 million Americans.
We talk about the necessity of paid leave beyond mothers and babies; paid leave is a human right and if implemented correctly, a good national paid leave policy will include those who need to take care of aging parents, time off to care for love ones who may be sick, and adoptive parents, just to name a few scenarios.

      <title>Active Measures: Russia's Successful Espionage Campaign in the 2016 Election</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/d7e19835/active-measures-russias-successful-espionage-campaign-in-the-2016-election</link>
      <description>In this episode I discuss the Russia and Putin's history of launching cyber-warfare and espionage campaigns including the one against the US during the 2016 presidential election. My guests are Laura DuBois and Marley Clements, producers of the documentary Active Measures. We discuss how Russia successfully compromised the 2016 election as well as Trump's connections to Russia dating back to the 80's, his connections to the Russian mob, dark money laundering and the long-standing connections between Russia and Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn.

      <title>The Sister District Project with Founder and Exec. Director, Rita Bosworth</title>
      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/33e7e9ac/the-sister-district-project-with-founder-and-exec-director-rita-bosworth</link>
      <description>Rita Bosworth was driven to start The Sister District Project, an organization dedicated turning states blue by winning state legislative elections, shortly following the 2016 election. By controlling the balance in state legislative seats, Democrats will have more power to create fairer redistrciting maps, stop extreme partisan gerrymandering, create a more balanced Congress, and even stop and reverse Draconian anti-abortion laws. Winning state legislative races is where the real power lies.

In this conversation we explore why she founded The Sister District project and why it's crucial to support state legislative races in order to reverse the course of the country and move in a more progressive direction. Visit The Sister District project to volunteer and help win upcoming legislative races.

      <description>"We've been asking the wrong questions. We ask 'why does she stay' instead of 'why is he hitting her...'" This is just one of the points you'll hear in my conversation with Dr. Pamela Nettleton. We discuss how the media's coverage of violence against women perpetuates a culture of violence. We also discuss how our social systems are set up to burden women who are victims of violence.

      <link>https://www.electorette.com/podcast/episode/1f37c2d5/weapons-of-math-destruction-with-cathy-oneil</link>
      <description>"Democracy isn't just about the ability to vote. Democracy is about being an informed citizen..." This is just one of the points you'll hear in this conversation with data-skeptic, author and mathematician, Cathy O'Neil. We discuss her book "Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality &amp; Threatens Democracy," and the ways in which algorithms dictate nearly every aspect of our lives, including our interactions with the criminal justice system and our elections.
We also discuss how Facebook and Cambridge Analytica use our personal data in ways that may influence our voting decisions. O'Neil believes these practices pose a serious threat to democracy.

      <title>How All Politics Became Reproductive Politics with Dr.Laura Briggs</title>
      <description>This conversation with Dr. Laura Briggs, author of How All Politics Became Reproductive Politics, on the politics of reproductive justice is more important than ever. We discuss the daily assaults on bodily autonomy, the history of Roe v Wade, Reagan's role in diminishing the social safety net,  and why conservative women vote against their own interests.
Please Note:This is an updated, condensed version of the original recording published a few months before the 45th anniversary of Roe v Wade. This episode contains some adult language).

      <title>The Men's Story Project with Dr. Jocelyn Lehrer</title>
      <description>The Men's Story Project, founded by today's guest Dr. Jocelyn Lehrer, is a storytelling and community project that brings critical exploration of social ideas about masculinity into public forums around the world and allowing men to share their stories that are less-often heard with a live audience.
On this episode, I talk with Dr. Lehrer about how The Men's Story Projectbreaks silences on issues including sexism, racism, homo/transphobia, ableism and violence – and ways in which these are often linked with masculinities.

      <title>Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers: Discusses Her New Book "They Were Her Property..."</title>
      <description>Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers discusses her new book "They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South," a book that dispels a common myth about the role of white women within the institution of slavery, as being one of reluctance and passivity. Previous scholarship has often depicted them as bystanders or even as allies to enslaved people; but in her new book, Jones-Rogers uncovers how white women in the antebellum south were actually adept slave owners and willing participants, reaping both economic and political gain from their involvement.

Jones, author of the book Birthright Citizens: A History of Race and Rights in Antebellum America, discusses the history of birthright citizenship in America, a struggle that began before the Civil War, before the Emancipation Proclamation. During this uncertain and perilous, a time particularly dangerous African Americans, black activists fought for citizenship status, thus radically transforming the terms of citizenship for all Americans.

      <title>Gender, Your Guide with Dr. Lee Airton</title>
      <description>Do you ever wish that there was a guide to help you navigate and understand our new gender culture? Do you find yourself wondering which pronoun to use and when? Or have you ever wanted a guide on how to be an effective ally to the LGBTQ and transgender community, especially given the recent attacks on those communities by the Trump administration? This episode explores the book "Gender: Your Guide..." with Dr. Lee Airton, which is a primer in a sense on "what to know, what to do, and what to say" in our new gender culture.
Dr. Airton is the founder of the blog They Is My Pronoun, a Q+A-based blog about gender-neutral pronoun usage and user support with over 30,000 unique visitors in 2017 alone. 
They are also the founder of the No Big Deal Campaign, a national social media initiative that helps people show support for transgender peoples' right to have their pronouns used.

      <title>Bonus Episode | Introducing: The City with Robin Amer</title>
      <description>After years of disinvestment, highways are rebuilt, old buildings demolished, and new skyscrapers erected. All that rubble has to go somewhere, and its destination isn’t a landfill—it’s a pair of vacant lots in a predominately black, working-class neighborhood called North Lawndale. The man behind this operation is a white guy sporting a Cosby sweater and underworld connections. What follows is a tour de force through Chicago’s underbelly: Aldermen get indicted. An FBI investigation goes awry. A community’s resilience is tested—all unfolding under the specter of racism in America.

      <title>Anti-Transgender Memo Pt II with Nathalie Crowley</title>
      <description>In this episode, Nathalie Crowley from the Family Tree Clinic in MN joins to discuss the anti-transgender memo uncovered by the New York Times, which revealed that the Trump administration could be seeking to narrowly redefine the concept of sex as an " immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth." The Family Tree Clinic offers sexual health services for under-served communities and a large percentage of their patients are from the LGBTQ community. We discuss the pragmatic implications of the memo, if it were to take affect, including how it would make it more difficult to travel, get ID, vote and how it could potentially expose the trans community to further hostility.

      <title>Gender Justice &amp; the Anti-Transgender Memo Pt I</title>
      <description>In this episode, Christy Hall and Megan Peterson discuss the anti-transgender memo uncovered by the New York Times, which revealed that the Trump administration could be seeking to narrowly redefine the concept of sex as an " immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth." If adopted, this would be the most dramatic government-wide move to roll back recognition and protections of transgender people under civil rights law. We discuss the proposal in the context of Title IX, the civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of gender, as well as, the legal and practical implications for such a move including how we can protect the transgender community on a local level. https://www.genderjustice.us

      <description>In this conversation with Professor and author Shelly Grabe (https://bit.ly/2lOW3ja), whose research includes women’s rights violations and social justice in a global context, we explore the Women's Autonomous Movement in Nicaragua.

We also talk about the many ways in which the Nicaraguan movement is 30 years ahead of the women's movement here in the US.

      <description>Kelly Dittmar is an Assistant Research Professor at the CAWP or the Center for American Women and Politics, a unit of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University. We discuss how the political strategy for women politicians is shaped when it's crafted through a gendered lens, including examining Hillary Clinton's 2008 and 2016 strategies as examples. We also discuss the PinkWave and CAWP's real-time research project, GenderWatch 2018, which provides crucial data in relation to how gender shapes political campaigns.

      <title>Invisible No More with Andrea Ritchie</title>
      <description>"When I come across a story involving police interactions with black women, it's hard to tell whether a story took place in 1863, in 1963 or 2013." This is just one of the points you'll here in this interview with Andrea Ritchie, author of "Invisible No More: Police Violence Against Black Women and Women of Color." We discuss how Black women, Indigenous women, and women of color experience racial profiling, police brutality, and immigration enforcement from both a historical and modern lens. Andrea Ritchie is a Black lesbian immigrant, police misconduct attorney and organizer who has engaged in extensive research, writing, and advocacy around criminalization of women and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people of color over the past two decades. She is currently Researcher in Residence on Race, Gender, Sexuality and Criminalization at the Barnard Center for Research on Women’s Social Justice Institute, and was a 2014 Senior Soros Justice Fellow.

      <title>Lisa Hunter, Candidate for DC City Council</title>
      <description>Lisa Hunter is a candidate for City Council in DC's Ward 6 and if elected, she would be the first Latino elected to the City Council. Hunter has a long history of serving her community and just three days after graduating from college, she boarded a plane to Guyana to begin service in the Peace Corps. Once she returned to the US, Hunter took a job at Barack Obama’s campaign headquarters. She was later deployed to St. Louis as a field organizer, where she met voters and learned about the issues facing their communities. Hunter was driven to run for office by the inequalities she observed in pay equity, gender inequality, housing instability, and healthcare. Endorsed by The American Women's Party and Run For Something, Lisa Hunter is a true champion for women's rights.

      <title>Weapons of Math Destruction with Cathy O'Neil</title>
      <description>"Democracy isn't just about the ability to vote. Democracy is about being an informed citizen..." This is just one of the points you'll hear in my conversation with data-skeptic, author and mathematician, Cathy O'Neil. We discuss her book "Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality &amp; Threatens Democracy," and the ways in which algorithms dictate nearly every aspect of our lives, including our interactions with the criminal justice system and our elections. We also discuss how Facebook and Cambridge Analytica use our personal data in ways that may influence our voting decisions. O'Neil believes these practices pose a serious threat to democracy and for this reason, this is one of Electorette's most important episodes to date.

      <description>"They're afraid of the 2.6 million people who came out and marched on the anniversary of the Women's March. They are afraid of the young black activists and Black Lives Matter who are standing up... They’re afraid of our activism, and our civic awareness, and awakening that I think is happening.... There is a civic awakening that I think is happening and I think that, that's powerful because what [the GOP] are afraid of, are our voices."

      <title>Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny with Kate Manne</title>
      <description>"There is this a danger that if we hold misogyny to be a deep psychological property of individual agents, then it will become very difficult to know or justifiably believe if someone is a misogynist. " This is one of the points you'll hear in my conversation with author Kate Manne. In her book, "Down Girl: The Logic of Misogyny," Manne thoroughly explores the meaning of misogyny; her examination, through analogy, and examples from politics and the news headlines, provides considerable clarity about what misogyny is and what it is not. "Down Girl..." is a must-read and should be in every feminist's library along with other notable feminist classics.

      <title>Mass Shootings, the Media &amp; American Terror with Dr. Ruth Defoster</title>
      <description>"For some reason, all of the tropes and the explanations and the frames that came out of the Columbine coverage, have been repackaged and recycled in media coverage of almost every mass shooting since." This is just one of the points you'll hear during my conversation with terrorism scholar and mass shooting expert, Dr. Ruth Defoster. We discuss the consistent features present in all mass shootings and their perpetrators, including toxic masculinity. We walk through several of the country's attacks and discuss the media's treatment of these incidents, the contagion effect of mass shootings, and the media's influence on the culture of gun violence in America. Lastly, we discuss the Trump administration's treatment of and response to terror.

      <title>The Free-Love Candidate, Women Politicians &amp; the Media with Teri Finneman</title>
      <description>"If a male politician is in his 20’s and 30’s he’s an ambitious go-getter, who’s a rising star - no one asks “what about his kids, why isn’t he at home?” This is just one of the points of discussion you'll hear during my conversation with Dr. Teri Finneman, author and professor of journalism. We discuss her book "Press Portrayals of Women Politicians, 1870s–2000s" including the media coverage of women politicians including the 1st female presidential candidate (a.k.a. Mrs. Satan as she was referred to by the press), Sarah Palin and of course, Hillary Clinton.

      <title>Twitter Blocks, Judicial Nominees &amp; LGBT Rights with Rebecca Buckwalter-Poza</title>
      <description>"If the left has had one shortcoming, it's a failure of imagination when it comes to the audacity of the right to lie, to upset custom, to do anything they can to get around the law to achieve their aims." This is just one of the points made by Rebecca Buckwalter-Poza, a political and legal analyst. Rebecca has been blocked by Trump of Twitter and we discuss how silencing dissenting voices in a public forum presents a threat to democracy. We also discuss judicial nominees, the need to clarify a unified, progressive message and threats to LGBT rights.

      <title>Sexism in Science with Public Scholar, Climate Scientist Dr. Sarah Myhre</title>
      <description>"Your brain is not as important as the currency of your body and the sexual appeal of your body to the male gaze." This is just one of the points made during my conversation on feminism, racism, climate science and the Trump administration with public scholar and climate scientist, Dr. Sarah Myhre. Dr. Myhre is one of the founders of Seattle's branch of 500 Women Scientists and is a vocal advocate for greater racial equality and for greater representation of women's voices in science and in society as a whole. In fact, she describes herself as a loudmouth and nasty woman. In our conversation, Dr. Myhre is very vulnerable and open about her experiences as a woman in science, being a single mother and about coming to terms with her own privilege in a racially charged political climate.

      <title>Reproductive Justice &amp; the Politics of Reproductive Rights with Dr. Laura Briggs</title>
      <description>"If the police are killing young folks in our communities, that's a threat to our reproductive rights." This is just one of the points you'll hear in my conversation with Dr. Laura Briggs, author of the forthcoming book "How All Politics Became Reproductive Politics."
