Big Time Dicks

Joanna and Prachi discuss the Department of Homeland Security’s recent memos regarding “criminal aliens” and look into the fraught, racist history of immigration reform. We also speak with the New York Immigration Coalition’s Thanu Yakupitiyage about what the new rules mean for undocumented immigrants in the US, and knowing your rights. 

We examine why white men love to use the bathroom as a battleground, and Gavin Grimm, a transgender teen who has fought in court to use the boys’ bathroom at his high school for over two years. We also speak with ACLU lawyer Joshua Block, who will represent transgender teen Gavin Grimm at the Supreme Court this March. 

We examine what the Justice Department under Sen. Jeff Sessions might look like (hint: more racist) and interview Columbia Law professor Katherine Franke about what power the Attorney General actually has. 

We take a closer look at the hell Steve Bannon, the white supremacist brain behind Trump, has wrought, and interview JFK No Ban organizer and immigration attorney Tahanie Aboushi about the Muslim Ban. 

It's official—Trump is our new Dick in Chief. Joanna and Prachi discuss their experience reporting at Inauguration and the historic Women's March, and interview NARAL president Ilyse Hogue about how to fight back against the new administration. 

A brand new Jezebel podcast with a unique perspective on politics through the examination of the big time dicks behind the policy affecting our lives. This podcast is an approachably humorous tour of series issues.
