description Whether you call it frontlash, backlash, or retrenchment, the right is building on decades of organized infrastructures and consolidating considerable state power at the local, state, and federal levels. There are the attacks on the teaching of histories of enslavement and colonialism (mislabeled "critical race theory"), bans on speaking about trans and queer identities ("Don't Say Gay" laws), and the culmination of a long campaign to outlaw abortion. Some who believe in emancipatory horizons argue that we must reduce the role of the judiciary within our politics and that the Supreme Court is a fundamentally antidemocratic force; the answer is not to reinstantiate the courts' power in liberal guise but to reduce or abolish it altogether. Tomato pickers in Florida have forced large fast food companies to raise wages and investigate sexual harassment in their supply chains.
