In this episode of Black Arm of the Law, Dr. RaShall Brackney breaks down a series of powerful and unsettling developments shaping America’s criminal legal and political landscape.

From the federal government shutdown’s impact on food assistance to the No Kings protest against authoritarianism, Dr. Brackney examines how each issue reveals deeper systemic inequities. She also explores the demolition of the White House East Wing, Trump’s legal battles with the DOJ, threats to the Voting Rights Act, and the presidential pardon of George Santos — connecting the dots to show how these actions disproportionately affect marginalized communities.
