    Jonny and Heather start off the show by listening to a public statement made by local Carbondale City Councilwoman, Clare Killman, who has a proposal for Illinois to defend itself from federal assaults on bodily autonomy. They then compare the clarity and firmness of her response to Congressional Democrats who seem to lack a spine and are throwing LGB but particularly T under the bus. In the back half of the show they discuss access to healthcare and a revitalized interest in discussing predatory insurance companies. The lesson there is that the assalut on gender-affirming healthcare is really an assault on all of our healthcare.

    Jonny and Hearher check in about their busy queer weekend . Less fun, the check in on how that Skrmetti case went in the Supreme Court last week. From that they pull a theme they explore in the back half of the show--how actions are connected and the world is a web of interconnections. While this can be daunting when phobias spread across those strands, it can also be hopeful when justice and resistence do too. With that in mind, the discuss anti trans laws in Alberta, Canada and the regime change in Syria alongside queers preparing for assaults on their marriages and a Ohio elementary school teacher sues her district for a disciplinary action based on homophobia.

    Jonny and Heather dive into the ludicrous new House Rule segregating bathrooms based on transphobic fears...or maybe its just toxic politicking? They turn to the already building evidence of assaults on trans rights as states submit bills for consideration in 2025 and President Trump advertises his first intended Executive Orders. They also look at what detention camps for queer and trans people will likely look like in the new regime, created in ways that might allow cis/het folks to ignore them. In the back half of the show, they turn to the organizations that are already pushing back on these toxic policies as well as ways queer and trans folks can prepare for the worst. They turn to the ways media is already adapting, in good and bad ways, to the incoming administration. They continue to urge listeners to participate in independent community media and local organizations resisting homophobic and transphobic policies.
