We Did the Reading. Fascism Came Anyway.

The most informed progressive public in American history is watching a fascist takeover in real time. In her first solo episode, Imani Gandy wants to know why. From Black Twitter to the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act dying in the Senate twice, she builds the argument—and then pokes holes in it herself. She doesn't have a clean answer. That's why she's asking. Correction: In this episode I state that New York cut a billion dollars from the police budget — they pledged to cut a billion but ultimately cut approximately half a million. I also state that Los Angeles boosted its budget by 3 percent after cutting 150 million — the actual increase was closer to 6 percent. The broader point stands: both cities reversed course.

Dateline’s Josh Mankiewicz Takes You Inside the True Crime Machine

In part two of her series on true crime and disability, Imani Gandy interviews Dateline correspondent Josh Mankiewicz about true crime as a machine that decides whose stories get told—and whose don’t. From missing Black women, to missing and murdered Indigenous people, to the near invisibility of disabled victims, they talk about what true crime shows—and what it leaves out. Because attention itself is a form of power. (And yes, there’s a Bill Hader moment.) Expert Repro Journalism That Inspires. Episodes like this take time, research, and a commitment to the truth.

The Constitution: A Scam by Rich White Men, for Rich White Men

The Constitution isn’t sacred—it’s a sham that pretends to be about equality but actually only benefits white men in power. Imani Gandy talks with best-selling author Elie Mystal about why the Constitution has never worked for Black people, how the Supreme Court weaponizes it to strip people of their rights, and what it would look like to scrap it and start over.

I love the insightful commentary—from Imani as well as her guests! The Elie Mystal episode was especially brain-opening. Check it out!

Imani Gandy is a lawyer, a reproductive justice advocate, and someone with a lot of opinions. B*tch, Listen is where all of that comes together—conversations about law, politics, race, pop culture, and yes, reproductive justice, with guests who are equally unwilling to be boring about it.
