Why is the Supreme Court rolling back the clock on our civil rights? In this episode of Twice as Good, Sara and Mitra are joined by two special guests, Madiba Dennie, author of the new book “The Originalism Trap: How Extremists Stole the Constitution And How We The People Can Take It Back,” and Brandon Tensley, the national politics reporter at Capital B News. Together they discuss the great retrenchment: the assault on Black political power, as well as the states fighting back. They invoke the wisdom of Frederick Douglass and affirm the importance of staying in the fight for equity and justice for all.
