What can Kamala Harris’ defeat tell us about American attitudes towards Black women and other marginalized genders? This week, Imara is joined by Jamilah King, an editorial director at Mother Jones, to answer this question from a political and personal perspective. The two discuss how the Covid-19 pandemic, rage, and misogyny might have contributed to the election outcome. Jamilah shares her insights about whether Harris really wanted to be president and how her 2024 campaign might have been just another example of a Black woman being set up to fail.

The Supreme Court will soon hear oral arguments in U.S. v. Skrmetti, a case that will fundamentally reshape gender affirming care access across the United States. Imara breaks down the stakes of this legal battle with Chase Strangio, the ACLU attorney who will be arguing on behalf of trans youth and their families. The two discuss the Tennessee law and plaintiffs at the heart of the case, how the Court’s ruling could limit 14th amendment protections, and what trans people can do to make their voices heard. Chase also shares what it’s like to be the first openly trans lawyer to argue in front of the Supreme Court of the United States.

In the wake of Trump’s stunning victory, Imara grapples with the stakes of this outcome for trans people across the United States. She’s joined by award-winning journalist Katelyn Burns to unpack the Democratic Party failing to counter the GOP’s anti-trans messaging, the election of trans candidates like Sarah McBride, and why trans rights might be first on the chopping block after Trump’s inauguration. Together, they imagine how we can reorient the fight for gender affirming care access in a hostile and uncertain new era of U.S. politics.

Project 2025 has become a surprising focal point of the U.S. presidential race. But who exactly is behind it, and why are they targeting trans rights? To help break down this radical plan for reshaping American life, Imara talks with two experts who have been tracking the policy and politics of Project 2025. First, she’s joined by ProPublica investigative reporter Andy Kroll who explains what the Heritage Foundation is, how they’re training a new generation of party loyalists, and why this could fundamentally alter the way our government works. Next, she discusses Project 2025’s focus on undermining progress towards gender equity with Sharita Gruberg, the Vice President for Economic Justice at the National Partnership for Women & Families.
