    Agenda PAC's Election Plan, Brian Sims Curiositea Part 2, Brandy... Where You Going, Girl?!

    If this episode is appearing twice, it's because the Spotify feed was acting up. Apologies and hey... you get to hear Brian Sims, twice! - Yo Aunteas!   Yo Aunteas are joined once again by Brian Sims — activist, former Pennsylvania State Representative, and CEO of Agenda PAC. Brian breaks down how Agenda PAC is using AI to identify and defeat the most dangerous bigots in America, why local elections matter more than ever, and how queer communities can reignite political hope amid burnout and misinformation. The group gets real about why the Democratic party refuses to "play dirty", and Brian delivers a sharp call to action for allies—especially white gay men—who have been conspicuously silent while our rights are under attack. Of course, the Aunteas also serve the cultural tea, breaking down the drama behind Brandy walking off stage during the long-awaited Brandy & Monica tour. Finally, Brian returns for "Curiositea Part Two" , sharing his hobbies, his Drag Race Mount Rushmore , and the sweet story behind the last song he played . (Dawon is out this week, but sends his love from London! ) So, get them cups readyyyy!!   Tea Stamps: 00:00 Pop Culture Moments 01:26 Agena PAC's Brian Sims 09:52 Communitea Bulletin Board: Sam Smith 11:23 The Importance and Urgency of Voting 14:43 Identifying and Challenging Bigotry 21:46 The Role of Allies in Advocacy 25:00 Finding Hope Amidst Fatigue 29:10 Engaging White Gays in Activism 34:51 Holding Elected Officials Accountable 39:35 Changing the Narrative: Engaging Elected Officials 41:01 Better Teamwork 42:25 The Need for Aggressive Political Strategy 43:22 Fighting Back: The Role of Incumbents and Challengers 44:47 The Importance of Differentiation in Political Messaging 47:59 The Role of Social Media in Political Discourse 50:54 Social Media's Role 53:29 Interpersonal Communication: The Antidote to Misinformation 54:31 Masculinity and Identity: Backed Potato & Gollum 01:00:18 The Call to Action: Voting and Community Engagement 01:02:50 Brandy...where you going girl? 01:08:13 Curiositea: Brian Sims Part 2 01:28:30 Agenda PAC 01:30:18 Benediction 01:31:33 Personal Reflections and Future Plans
