Seizing the Means of Reproduction

Lately, our government has seemed a little...baby crazy. President Trump declared he will be the "fertilization president." Vice President JD Vance announced he wants to see "more babies in the United States of America." Today, we're diving into the American pronatalist movement, a coalition of tech bros, religious traditionalists, and right-wing extremists determined to raise the American fertility rate. We'll cover who is in this movement, what they hope to accomplish, and how this iteration of pronatalism is tied to Christian nationalism and white supremacy. Hosted on Acast.

Hatred Rolls Downhill

Nearly a century ago, Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin, Germany became the first establishment in the world to offer comprehensive medical services, counselling, and sex education to the LGBTQ community. The Institute reflected the progressive values that were foundational to the Weimar Republic, Germany’s first democratic government. But authoritarianism was on the rise. And to the Nazi Party, the Institute was an existential threat. What we’re experiencing today in the U.S. is frightening. But it’s not unprecedented. The weaponization of gender and sexuality is a universal feature of authoritarianism. In this episode, Julie digs more deeply into the connection between attacks on women and LGBTQ people and authoritarianism, by looking at other autocratic regimes, both past and present.

The Mess Moynihan Made

In 1965, a government report on Black families that was never supposed to be public leaked... and permanently influenced how our country thought about marriage, poverty, and personal responsibility. It was called the Moynihan Report. The report affirmed the belief that family structure – specifically, families headed by single mothers – caused people to be poor. This week, host Julie Kohler traces the roots and repercussions of the Moynihan report, and why the solutions to the issues it puts forth run far deeper than marriage. Hosted on Acast.

Our Divorce Dilemma

In 1969, California Governor Ronald Reagan signed the country's first no-fault divorce bill into law. Since then, Americans have been able to leave their marriages without having to prove their spouse committed any wrongdoing. But now, there's a growing movement on the right to make ending a marriage much harder. This week, host Julie Kohler digs into this current attack on no-fault divorce — and rolls back the clock to explore the "Wild West" of American divorce laws that existed before. Hosted on Acast.

America's Gender Whiplash

America is facing a gender backlash—a backlash so swift and severe, it feels more like a whiplash. Right now, no group is more at risk than trans Americans. On his first day back in the White House, Trump signed a controversial executive order meant to deny trans identity and push transgender people out of public life. Since then, attacks on trans rights—trans existence—have become increasingly hostile and widespread. But even as many conservatives work overtime to focus the public's ire on trans people, it's clear that their attempt to enforce a strict gender binary could have much broader consequences. Consequences that will reach all Americans. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Supreme Court vs Democracy with Kimberly Atkins Stohr

Last week, the Supreme Court wrapped up a controversial and consequential session that addressed abortion, guns and presidential power, just to name a few. The once favorable views of the Court have fallen to historic lows in recent years thanks in part to the conservative majority. And since the Dobbs decision in 2022, many Americans are concerned that the court’s decisions are not reflective of the American people. Senior opinion writer and columnist for Boston Globe Opinion and co-host of the legal news podcast #SistersInLaw, Kimberly Atkins Stohr breaks down some of the biggest decisions from the session and explains the ripple effect the Trump immunity will have on the presidency.

The Threat of Project 2025 with Rachel Leingang

This week, Republicans are convening in Milwaukee to officially elect former President Donald Trump as the party’s nominee. But what would a second Trump administration actually look like? The answer may very well lie in a lengthy document of conservative priorities called Project 2025. To unpack this document, we’re talking to Rachel Leingang who reports on democracy and misinformation for The Guardian. Rachel walks us through the particulars of Project 2025 and how it's what she calls “the meat on the bones” for conservative causes nationwide.
