A new president with authoritarian tendencies packs the nation’s highest court, which then outlaws abortion – sparking not just a backlash, but a new coalition for democracy and the rule of the law. Rachel Maddow and Isaac-Davy Aronson explore how events abroad in just the last few years might help us understand what is happening now in the United States.

Featuring:

Anne Applebaum, staff writer for The Atlantic and author of Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism

Marta Lempart, founder of Polish Women’s Strike

Nancy Northup, President and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights
