    Logging Off, Showing Up, and Organizing with Cayden Mak #62

    What happens when the internet turns politics into a consumer activity — something you watch, share, and feel, rather than something you do? Cayden Mak, publisher of Convergence magazine and host of Block and Build, joins co-hosts Daniel W.K. Lee and Kenyon Farrow to untangle the structural forces shaping digital organizing, from Shoshana Zuboff's surveillance capitalism to Silicon Valley's role in driving authoritarian consolidation. He pushes back on AI hype — arguing that much of it is marketing designed to launder ideology and remove human accountability from harmful decisions — while also insisting that the internet has been genuinely life-saving for young queer people cut off from affirming communities. Drawing on the legacy of ACT UP and the long-view thinking of Grace Lee Boggs, Cayden makes the case that real politics is not what you watch or repost, but what you do with other people over time.

  2. History, Hollywood Hustle, and the Lavender Scare with Lisa Cordileone #61

    History, Hollywood Hustle, and the Lavender Scare with Lisa Cordileone #61

    The Lavender Scare — the 60-year federal policy that allowed gay people to be legally fired from government jobs — is the subject of Lisa Cordileone's historical fiction TV series Committed, and in conversation with co-hosts Kenyon Farrow and Mattie Bynum, she makes a compelling case that its echoes are very much present today. Lisa pushes back on the tendency of queer film to market itself as an education for straight audiences, arguing instead for stories where queer people simply exist, the way they always have — intersecting across race, class, gender expression, and history. Drawing from nonfiction, stoicism, and overlooked histories like Hidden Figures and The Imitation Game, she builds characters who battle with morality rather than slot neatly into hero or villain roles. She's particularly drawn to questions of colorism and passing — and how her own experience as a white queer woman means living simultaneously at the intersection of privilege and otherness. For Lisa, Power Beyond Pride means thriving without shame: not just surviving visibility, but choosing a life of truth.

    Reply All: One Year, Real Wins, and Nuclear Family Nonsense #59

    A year after launch, Power Beyond Pride takes stock of what real progress looks like when the broader political landscape is hostile. Join hosts Mattie Bynum,  Daniel WK Lee, Hunter, Melodie Garcia, and Shane Lukas surface concrete wins—sex workers organizing mutual aid and a gun club during Minneapolis ICE raids, progressive electoral gains from leaders like Mamdani in New York and Wu in Boston, and New Mexico leading the nation on universal childcare. Tennessee Governor Bill Lee's June "Nuclear Family Month" resolution draws sharp pushback—not just as an LGBTQ+ attack, but as an erasure of the diverse family structures most Americans, including the hosts themselves, actually grew up in. The conversation connects symbolic rollbacks to the slow creep of policy harm, particularly the documented pattern of gradual restrictions on trans communities. The episode ultimately argues that sustainable movements need both vigilance and joy—and that creativity, art, and community are not soft distractions but core infrastructure for resistance.

    History, Trans Legacy, and Courage with Sophie Edwards #57

    Description: This episode explores why history matters in the fight for LGBTQ+ visibility and belonging. Sophie Edwards discusses the importance of creating trans-centered educational content that goes beyond explaining trans people to cis audiences and instead helps trans people understand their own historical legacy.

Sophie also reflects on language, identity, and the ways cultural narratives shape how communities are understood.
