The division in this nation is everywhere. It’s not just between Democrats and Republicans. Divisions are deep inside formerly unified fronts, and these divisions seem to eat at the fabric of our society. Our guests this week are trying to change that. Joe Walsh is a former Republican Congressman. Fred Guttenberg’s daughter Jaime was killed in the Parkland shooting. They have very different views on specific issues, but through their work as Two Dads Defending Democracy, they are working to protect us all.

So today, we’re going to try something that might be the first in a series: good news and good vibes only!

Often when white people consider racism, we look almost exclusively at what it costs people of color. We rarely consider the other side–what that racism gives us in unearned benefits, and how that benefit hurts us as a culture. In her new book The White Bonus: Five Families and the Cash Value of Racism in America, Tracie McMillan confronts this head on.

For half a century, Roe vs. Wade was the law of the land. While states continued to attack the rights of pregnant people to our bodies, we had that basic fact to give us some refuge.

To discuss where we are and where we might go, we’ve invited Rickie Solinger and Krystale Littlejohn–co-Editors of the new anthology “Fighting Mad: Resisting the End of Roe v. Wade” onto the show.

Kate Manne argues for a better way. She is an associate professor of philosophy at Cornell University and an award-winning writer. Her new book, Unshrinking: How to Face Fatphobia, is now available.
