2024-11-27 - Remember Evidence-Based Policy? Those Were the Days!

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.
