  • "Surveilled": Ronan Farrow on the Spyware Technology the Trump Admin Could Use to Hack Your Phone

    We discuss the new HBO Original film Surveilled and explore the film’s investigation of high-tech spyware firms with journalist Ronan Farrow and director Matthew O’Neill. We focus on the influence of the Israeli military in the development of some of the most widely used versions of these surveillance technologies, which in many cases are first tested on Palestinians and used to enforce Israel’s occupation of Palestine, and on the potential expansion of domestic U.S. surveillance under a second Trump administration. Ever-increasing surveillance is “dangerous for democracy,” says Farrow. “We’re making and selling a weapon that is largely unregulated.” As O’Neill emphasizes, “We could all be caught up.”

  • Chase Strangio, First Out Trans Lawyer to Argue at Supreme Court, on Landmark Trans Healthcare Case

    The Supreme Court appears poised to uphold Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth after it heard arguments Wednesday in United States v. Skrmetti. The Biden administration and the American Civil Liberties Union argued that the law, which bans hormone therapy for transgender children but not cisgender children, is a form of sex discrimination, but right-wing justices who make up the court’s majority appeared to reject that argument. ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio, who has now become the first openly transgender lawyer to argue before the Supreme Court, describes the stakes and analyzes the reactions of the justices during the landmark case, which is expected to be decided next year. “It is precisely the role of the courts to step in when the government infringes on the individual constitutional rights of minority groups,” says Strangio. “People are suffering. They just want to be able to live their lives, and this law takes those opportunities away from them.”

  • Can Ben Wikler Rebuild the Democratic Party?

    Internal party elections for the chair of the Democratic National Committee are a bellwether for which direction the supposedly liberal party veers. If progressive Democrats have their way, they’d like to see Wisconsin’s DNC chair Ben Wikler work his organizing magic nationally.
