0:00 0:00

Summary

This week on One Nation, Indivisible with Andrew L. Seidel:

What happens when political leaders suggest suspending habeas corpus—the centuries-old legal safeguard that protects us from unlawful imprisonment? Andrew breaks down the ancient origins and critical importance of this bedrock of liberty, revealing how attacks on it are more than rhetoric—they’re warning signs of authoritarianism.

He also unpacks a major update in the fight for church-state separation: the Oklahoma Catholic Charter School case. The Supreme Court has issued a temporary win for public education and religious freedom—but the battle isn’t over yet.

Finally, Andrew issues a powerful call to action. Now is not the time to be silent. Learn how you can help defend democracy by standing up for civil liberties and showing up at rallies nationwide.
