The Right-Wing, Anti-Trans, Hate Machine, w/ Vivian Topping & Alex Han

At the top of this episode, we address what may have been a historic moment last night, when President Joe Biden struggled to perform in his debate against Donald Trump. Many in mainstream media are asking today if Biden still has what it takes to be the Democratic nominee and block the return of Trump and the MAGA movement to the White House. In These Times Executive Director Alex Han joins us to discuss what the debate may mean for movement efforts to stop Trump and the ways it might shift our political landscape. Then Cayden is joined by Vivian Topping, Director of Advocacy and Civic Engagement at the Equality Federation, to discuss the right-wing, anti-trans hate machine and how we fight back. They explore how today's Supreme Court repeal of the Chevron Doctrine might impact laws banning discrimination against trans people, how we organize against the Right's cultural messaging via deep canvassing in our communities, and much more.
