Overturning Roe: A Watershed Moment for U.S. Fascism

Episode 116 of Refuse Fascism podcast, posted July 4: Sam Goldman and Coco Das discuss Coco’s new article for The Independent: Roe has been overturned and women’s bodies are no longer their own in America. Here’s what to do now.

Over the past couple weeks SCOTUS has issued a series of rulings that flag that they are no longer concerned with the appearance of legitimacy: rights no longer need to be read to people arrested by the police, states cannot issue laws restricting who can conceal guns, and the EPA cannot prevent power plants from filling the air with pollution.

The Court also agreed to hear a case that would enable state legislatures to conduct elections according to whatever procedures they set… and of course overturned the constitutional right to abortion, setting in motion the chaos we’re seeing across the country as clinics shut down and patients, including a 10 year old rape victim from Ohio, have had to travel great distances to obtain access to abortion.

SCOTUS: The Big Lie, Fascism: All Illegitimate

Last week, on Episode 115 of Refuse Fascism, our first post-Roe decision episode, we share some of the voices from the streets over the last couple days outside the Supreme Court demanding the federal government restore the fundamental right to abortion across the country NOW, including Sunsara Taylor (@sunsarataylor), Paxton Smith (@paxtonsmith) and youth organizers

Then, writer and pundit Wajahat Ali talks to Sam about the January 6 hearings which have unearthed in great detail (though not exhaustive, as Ginni Thomas’s key role continues to be obscured) the Trump regime’s attempted coup plot. Read his latest piece for The Daily Beast: No, Our Institutions Didn’t Hold After Jan. 6—Just Look at the GOP and follow him on Twitter at @WajahatAli.

How are we accepting a ruling that reverses a fundamental right for more than half the population, issued by an illegitimate court full of fascists appointed by a (perhaps soon-to-be-indicted) criminal?
