    ICE Abuse Flight Privacy Law, DC Protestors Stand Up to Trump, MI AG Holds Hospitals Accountable for Denying Trans Care, Congress Holds Lost Science Fair, more

    This week, we show how Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are abusing the legal provision that allows famous people (and sadly, billionaires and CEOs) to hide their flight data from the public. Sure, let's protect Oprah Winfrey or Stephen Spielberg from their stalkers, but stopping ICE flights from being held publicly accountable is yet another red flag in a long line of them. Then, we look at how a coalition of activist groups in Washington DC are helping the citizens of our nation's capitol stand up and fight back against the forces Trump unleashed to "protect" it. Next, we look at how Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is taking a different tactic to fight back against Trump's war on trans health care: suing the Trump regime only gets you so far, so what if you tell the hospitals that are rolling over that they will be held accountable by the State of Michigan? Finally, we look at the Science Fair held by Congressional Democrats to highlight all the research being flushed away by Trump's cancellation of grants.

    BEST OF TMI:  Hartmann's Breakdown of DC Coup, AriZona Suffers From Trump Tariffs, BWW Sued For Bathroom Discrimination, Man Released From Glacier, more

    On this Best of TMI, we review a piece released by legendary talk radio host Thom Hartmann via Raw Story, where he breaks down the fascistic coup that has taken place in Washington DC, and how this is only the beginning. Then, we look at how something as inconsequential as AriZona Iced Tea's tallboy cans will likely double in price from Trump's tariffs, and why this is a good illustration of how no corner of our lives, no matter how trivial, will likely be spared.  Next, we move to Minnesota, where a Buffalo Wild Wings employee felt that a cis woman wasn't woman enough for the restrooms, causing a lawsuit that wouldn't exist except for the obsession with gender that some vocally hateful people continue to push. Finally, global warming is causing glacial erosion at record rates, and in the case of a Pakistani family who had lost someone in 1997 up in the mountains, that deep melting released his perfectly preserved body back to them, nearly 30 years later.

    BEST OF TMI - How Colbert is Just the Beginning, Feds Make a Crime of Helping ICE Protestors, Quick Tribute to Ozzy, Trump Admin Erases Bisexual References From Stonewall Monument, more

    Russian literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin lived through the Russian Revolution and the Stalin years, and his insights on censorship and propaganda have great relevance when applied to what's been happening leading up to Paramount/CBS' cancelling of Stephen Colbert's "The Late Show", and what the future outlook may very well be, here in the USA, this century - check it out. Next, we reveal how federal agencies are arresting people who have provided aid to those protesting ICE. The logic is the kind of "guilty-by-association" nonsense that "innocent until proven guilty" was specifically meant to fight, but this current regime has no time for that. Then, we pause to give a brief send off to musical icon Ozzy Osbourne. Finally, we tell you about how the Trump regime has now deleted all references to bisexuality from the Stonewall National Monument website, after having done the same to all transgender references to it just months before.

    BEST OF TMI - Will Roberts Documents the Vital CUNA/Trustage Strike in "Out of Office", "Alligator Alcatraz" is a 21st Century Concentration Camp, WI Supreme Court News, more

    Will Roberts joins us on this episode to discuss his Means.TV documentary "Out of Office" which succinctly and clearly shows the union's side of the 2023 OPEIU Local 39 strike on Trustage (nee CUNA Mutual). We examine how even when a union is present, effort must be made to use it to protect the workers... and when that effort is made, it can win BIG. Listen in! Next, we look at the shame that is the "Alligator Alcatraz" detention center in Florida. Erected in eight days, designed to hold people out where escape can mean death by predator, and ready to be abused as this-century's version of a concentration camp, we look at this thing that both Trump and DeSantis hail as the new way to treat people they don't like. Finally, we go over some good news from the Wisconsin Supreme Court, as the majority decided to stop the Wisconsin State Legislature from unconstitutionally negating the rightful powers and duties of the office of Governor.

    SCOTUS Will Listen to GOP Argument That There Isn't Enough Money in Politics, The End of the (Shared) World As We Know It, Two Good News Items for Trans Rights, more  

    Everyone's focused (and rightfully so) on the horrific set of rulings that the Supreme Court of the United States just released this past week and a half, which is why it flew under the radar that they've accepted a case for this coming year that could end all campaign finance limitations as they still exist. Electing to take up a lawsuit brought by then-Senator JD Vance in 2002, what will be on the table is one of the final prohibitions on campaign spending, and the makeup of this Court makes the 2010 one that said yes to Citizens United v. FEC look moderate. Next, we have reached the end of the world. I'm not the one to reach this conclusion, and even Jessica Wildfire of The Sentinel Intelligence merely uncovered what linguistic philosopher Donald Davidson accidentally predicted in his essay "A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs" - that as human beings are social animals, we communicate to survive, and to communicate we have to be in the same shared world. Sharing a world, however, seems to be a thing of the past. Finally, we go over two positive news items for the rights of trans people: first we go abroad to India, where the High Court of Andhra Pradesh has ruled that trans women are legally recognized as women under the Constitution of India; second, we see that back home, action taken by the ALCU and others finally has the Trump regime relenting, and starting to allow updating of gender markers on US passports for trans people.
