TMI 09/08/2023 - Fixing the Racism of Interstate Highways, Coiner of "Cisgender" Speaks Out on What it Really Means, How to Accurately Define "Gentrifying" and more

As summer winds down and many of us take to the road before things cool down, we take a look at the Interstate Highway system, and how its planning and development were used to smash communities of color all across the USA - and what we can do now to fix the problems caused by that. Sixty years of suffering is a lot to make up for, but it's never too late to start. Then, we hear from Dana Defosse, the PhD who coined the term "cisgender" some thirty years ago, and why she is horrified by how misconstrued and abused the term has become. Finally, we give a quick reminder of how to properly define "gentrification" so we can see it for the class struggle issue that it is, and not the cultural inconvenience some would like to paint it as. All this and more on TMI for Friday, September 08, 2023 - listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!
