In the latest episode of Boom! Lawyered, hosts Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy explain three of the most alarming pieces of legislation introduced anywhere in the United States:

  • The voter suppression legislation in Georgia, which might be even more outrageous than most folks realize.
  • A new abortion ban in Texas, which goes even farther than your typical effort to criminalize health care.
  • The anti-trans bill in Arkansas, which is poised to take effect despite a veto from Governor Asa Hutchinson.
