Episode Details

Lurie breaks down the ongoing crisis in Gary, Indiana, where thousands of Black residents remain without power weeks after a historic storm. Thanks to reporting from Capital B News, she examines how this predominantly Black city has been left to fend for itself, drawing parallels to Hurricane Katrina. The conversation shifts to reproductive justice as Imani Gandy, executive producer of legal content at Rewire News Group, breaks down Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's recent comments about making abortion bans permanent nationwide. They discuss the manipulation tactics of the religious right, the weaponization of trans rights as a wedge issue, and what communities can do to prepare for both natural disasters and the erosion of bodily autonomy.
