On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices…

Today, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in United States v. Skrmetti, a case out of Tennessee that could determine whether trans minors have the right to gender-affirming care.

In this rapid reaction episode, Jess and Imani break down the case made by Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar and the American Civil Liberties Union’s Chase Strangio, the conservative justices’ nonsense, heartless arguments, and what they’re expecting to come out of Skrmetti.

The Court’s conservatives showed a clear disdain for gender-affirming care—but regardless of the outcome, one thing is clear: Skrmetti won’t be the end of the fight against attacks on trans rights.

Who Is the Lady Trying to Upend Disability Law? 29:41

Buckle up, y’all—we have a doozy for you today. This week, Imani and Jess get into the Supreme Court oral arguments in A.J.T. v. Osseo Area Schools . It was supposed to be a narrow education rights case that looked at whether students have to meet an impossibly high bar to sue schools under the Americans with Disabilities Act—that is, until Supreme Court litigator Lisa Blatt entered the chat and made things a little spicier. Now, Blatt is trying to make it difficult for anyone with disabilities to bring forth discrimination cases, and even the Supreme Court justices were confused.

School libraries are not indoctrinating kids with “LGBTQ+ ideology”—I know that, you know that, we know that. But conservatives love pretending they don’t. This week, Jess and Imani get into Mahmoud v. Taylor , a Supreme Court case that could upend First Amendment rights with the potential to fundamentally erase the separation of church and state in public schools.

What's Happening to Kilmar Abrego Garcia Could Happen to Any of Us 25:02

Editor's note: This episode was recorded on April 16, 2025. The Trump administration’s lawlessness is hard to exaggerate—and especially so in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who the White House admitted was mistakenly deported to a detention center in El Salvador. And even though the Supreme Court ordered the administration to “facilitate” Abrego Garcia’s return to the United States, Trump and his cronies are doubling down. The White House is completely disregarding due process—and it’s a threat to all of us. This week, Jess and Imani get into Abrego Garcia’s nightmarish case, El Salvador and the U.S. government volleying blame on each other to avoid his rightful return, and President Donald Trump’s apparent desire to “deport” American citizens to a foreign detention center.

President Donald Trump famously has a… strained relationship with the law, to say the least. His first term saw numerous legal challenges to attempted policies—not to mention his two impeachments. Now, barely two months into his second term, Trump is already facing more than 100 lawsuits over his attacks on birthright citizenship, gutting of the federal workforce, and more. In this episode, Jess and Imani dive into the Trump administration’s attacks on the law, from targeting law firms to straight up ignoring court orders.

Republicans Walk Back Their Attacks on Disabled People… Sort Of 24:10

We’re sweating! We’re hyperfixating! Because a bunch of conservative attorneys general have filed a lawsuit trying to weaken or eliminate Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, which served as a precursor to the Americans with Disabilities Act. This week, Jess and Imani get into the conservative legal movement’s attempts to roll back Section 504—and how it could constitute government-sponsored eugenics. And even though conservatives are pretending that they’re really just targeting trans folks, why should we believe them?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed and sworn in as the secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. And almost immediately, Trump fired off another executive order establishing a “Make America Great Again” commission. The group, made up of leadership from multiple federal agencies, was tasked with making healthy food more affordable and fighting chronic disease. Sounds reasonable, right? Wrong. This week, Jess and Imani dig into the biggest changes that could be worming their way into U.S. public health infrastructure with Kennedy at the helm. The duo break down how Trump and Kennedy’s early actions could mark a dark shift towards state institutionalization of people who don’t bend to its will, and what it could mean for the millions of Americans already struggling to access care.

The Trump Administration Is Coming for Your Access to Contraception, Abortion, and… Dildos? 22:14

14 weeks ago22:14

22:14

Abortion, and dildos, and porn, oh my! No but actually, there’s a dusty old law on the books that could unravel reproductive health access for years to come—the Comstock Act. And it’s just waiting for someone like the recently-confirmed U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to enforce it. On today’s episode of Boom! Lawyered, Imani and Jess revisit how the Trump administration could effectively ban abortion without input from Congress—all thanks to the 19th century anti-obscenity law. The pair break down how Comstock became a strong tool for the anti-choice movement and how aggressive enforcement by Attorney General Pam Bondi could upend access to contraception and even dildos.

While Elon Musk has been taking over the government, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals quietly overturned a 60-year-old law that prevented federally-licensed firearms dealers from selling guns to anyone aged 18 to 20. Seems bad! This week, Jess and Imani get into the weeds of Reese v. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives , a Second Amendment case out of the Fifth Circuit that, surprisingly, did not involve our BFF Matthew Kacsmaryk.

We’re on week one of Donald Trump’s second administration, and we’re already tired. On his first day in office, Trump signed executive orders attempting to end birthright citizenship and declaring that the United States only recognizes two genders, male and female. Okay! On today’s episode of Boom! Lawyered, Jess and Imani talk through Trump’s flurry of early executive orders. They also go down a few rabbit holes on embryo research and cowrie shells—because yes, they watched the inauguration so you didn’t have to.

Will the Supreme Court Help Ban Porn? 23:15

This week, Imani and Jess dive into Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton , a case out of Texas that could upend First Amendment free speech law. At issue in the case is a Texas law that requires age verification to visit websites that offer pornographic content. An adult entertainment trade organization, the Free Speech Coalition, is arguing that the law puts internet users’ privacy and security at risk. Plus, there’s another problem: Conservatives could weaponize the “porn ban” law to broadly ban LGBTQ+ content or sex education materials. And dozens of states are waiting in the wings to follow suit if the Supreme Court upholds it.

This week, Jess and Imani read Chief Justice John Roberts’ annual “state of the judiciary report” so you don’t have to. It’s one of the country’s worst New Years’ traditions, and this year was no exception. In the 2024 report, Roberts waxed poetic about the importance of protecting judicial independence, comparing Black Americans’ civil rights struggle to internet criticism of judges.
