Flushing is Burning: Slow Soto News Week

Grace is back with some news to discuss. There's been no Soto movement but the Mets did sign a pitcher, and a former Met signed a somewhat bizarre contract. Grace also touches on the proposed "Golden At-Bat" rule and how stupid it is. Next, Grace discusses what has been a truly terrible week for trans rights. Between Nancy Mace's crusade on Capitol Hill bathrooms, the Supreme Court upholding the ban on gender-affirming care for minors, and Barbra Banda being subjected to heaves of transphobic abuse, there's more than enough reasons to lose hope. But grace argues against that thought, and provides some drive to keep pushing. Finally, Grace has a lowkey, vibes type Christmas movie for her movie minute. And as a bonus, it's a Long Island based film! Follow us on Twitter/X @FIBPod, on Instagram @FlushingisBurningPod, and email us at [email protected]!
