No Comments on TMI 02/28/2025 – Earth’s Plants Are Full of Carbon, Rubio’s Rules for Visas to Based on Gender Are Full of Loopholes, Bernie Sanders is Full of Purpose, and Jeff Bezos is Full of… Himself

On today’s episode, we go over a recent report that Earth’s plants have hit the maximum amount of carbon that they want to take out of the atmosphere every year, which isn’t great considering we continue to increase the amount we are putting into it. Then, Secretary Rubio’s new rules for obtaining a visa into the United States that supposedly were to be aimed only at athletes, but are so full of holes that they could be applied to anyone who doesn’t happen to match their assigned gender at birth.

Next, the leadership we might be looking for out of the Democratic Party to oppose the machinations of the Trump regime are actually coming from Bernie Sanders and his National Tour to Fight Oligarchy. Finally, Jeff Bezos is says his new editorial policy at the Washington Post will censor pieces that go against what made him successful, because he IS America.

Abortion Act 10 Brad Schimel Declinism DEI Donald Trump Elon Musk Episode Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) George Monbiot Gerrymandering Natioinal Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Scott Walker Susan Crawford Target Wisconsin Supreme Court Workers Rights WSUM

TMI 02/21/2025 – Wisconsin’s Supreme Court Race Gets Hidden in the Newscycle, the EEOC and NLRB Are Under Attack to Destroy Workers Rights, George Monbiot Shows How International Our Troubles Are, more

You might not be aware of it, with Elon Musk and Donald Trump taking virtually all the air out of the news lately, but the State of Wisconsin has one of the MOST important elections in the USA for 2025 coming up in just over a month! On Tuesday, April 1st, Wisconsin’s GOP wants to pull the most cruel April Fool’s joke ever by ripping control of our state’s Supreme Court away from us after just two short years. With Ann Walsh Bradley retiring after 30 years of liberal rulings, the 4-3 liberal mix of the court would be put back in conservative hands if Scott Walker’s former Attorney General Brad Schimel is allowed to beat Susan Crawford in this spring election. We got over what is at stake.

Next, we review how the recent strategic firings at the National Labor Relations Board and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (The NLRB and the EEOC, respectively) hamstring those organizations’ ability to act in any way, robbing them each of the quorum necessary to act on behalf of workers nationwide. Then we read, with permission, the writings of our UK friend George Monbiot, as he details how there, those who had been pointing out the ways in which their society needed to be improved to forestall calamity were pushed aside in a way that’s all too familiar here in the United States.

American Medical Association (AMA) Big Oil CDC Climate Donald Trump Episode Ezra Klein Howard Hamm WSUM

TMI 02/14/2025 – Confronting Ezra Klein’s Naive Denial of Trump’s Nascent Dictatorship, the AMA Steps Up to Help Mitigate the Loss of Vital CDC Info, Howard Hamm Uses Trump to Attack Climate, more

Ezra Klein typically has good instincts when it comes to political analysis, often proving to be correct when countering “common sense” views that don’t fit reality. Sadly, this time his attempt to be the calm voice of reason has backfired, as he has woven a rosy picture about how Trump has limits to what he can do – limits that often don’t exist, with a hard look at what has happened in just the twenty-five days of his new administration. We discuss.

Next, we show how private medical establishments like the American Medical Association are stepping up to try and preserve and SERVE the vital medical information that Trump is having scrubbed from the CDC, DHS and other government websites before it is lost forever. Finally, we reveal how oil tycoon Howard Hamm has been leading the charge in goading Trump 2.0 into giving Big Oil everything it could ever have wanted, at the expense of the environment’s future.

TMI 01/24/2025 – Bishop Budde’s Own Words of Mercy, SCOTUS Calls Montana’s ISL Bluff, Our Friend Ahmed Shows Beauty During Hardship, Alabama Uses Prisoners Like Slaves, more

Bishop Mariann Budde is being attacked mercilessly for calling for mercy. We start this episode with something her detractors in the Trump Administration and the media won’t give you: her own words. You can judge for yourself if anything she gave in her appeal to President Trump for mercy was remotely “nasty” or even vaguely wrong. Next, We look at how SCOTUS has rejected Montana’s attempt to use the Independent State Legislature (ISL) theory to circumvent their courts’ rulings on their measures to suppress voting – SCOTUS got this one right!

Then, we give a special look at misterG’s report on his friend Ahmed, a wonderful musician and teacher living in Gaza who has been steadfast in spreading music despite the genocidal warfare there. For more, be sure to tune into greenarrowradio on WSUM 91.7FM Saturday, January 25, 2025 or stream it live on wsum.org.

Finally, we look at how Alabama’s “work release” program makes the state so much money that they don’t like granting parole – it reduces the number of prisoners they can profit from. All this and more on TMI for Friday, January 24, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

TMI 01/17/2025 – Amanda Moore Sounds Alarm on Journalism Under Trump, SCOTUS Sides With Hawaii Over Big Oil, DoJ Report on Tulsa Massacre of 1921 Released, Tryptophan Tripped Life’s Beginnings, more

We start this episode with an interview of Amanda Moore, freelance journalist specializing in exposing the far right in the USA, as she alerts us to how the normally difficult life of freelance reporting is being made all the more tenuous by the incoming Trump Administration – even before inauguration! Next, we head to SCOTUS, where the Justices have cleared the way for Hawaii to continue their lawsuit against Big Oil for their decades of greenwashing propaganda.

Then, we go over the new and comprehensive report that Biden’s Department of Justice just released on the over-100-year-old Tulsa Race Massacre. Unlike the first DoJ report from 1921, this 126 page report goes over every crime committed upon the Greenwood community of Tulsa during that horrific event. Finally, tryptophan, the amino acid that is associated with getting sleepy, snuck in during our nap and upset how we envisioned the beginning of life on Earth.

Albertsons Civil RIghts Department of Justice Donald Trump Episode GOP Harmeet Dhillon Health Insurance Kroger LGBTQ+ Project 2025 Tariffs Universal Health Care WSUM

TMI 12/13/2024 – People Think Health Care Has To Be Unaffordable, GOP Officials Push Back on Trump, Dhillon is a Stealth Disaster for Civil Rights AAG, Albertsons Sues Kroger for Failed Merger, more

On this episode of TMI, we explore one of the fundamental misunderstandings about health care in the USA: that the bills we receive are the ACTUAL cost of the care. Going through a number of examples, we see that what is being billed is often ten times the cost OR MORE. Because of this deceptive pricing, many people are genuinely concerned when universal coverage comes up and they ask “HOW will it get paid for”? Taking out the need to profit shrinks the pricing to affordable size.

Next, GOP officials throughout the country are responding to the reality that mass deportations and trade war tariffs would ruin their local businesses, and have begun to push back to stave off disaster for their constituents. Then, we look at the nominee who has flown completely under the media radar who spells BIG trouble for civil rights in the USA: Harmeet Dhillon. Dhillon’s anti-trans litigation history and many other issues make her distinctly abhorrent to hold the office in charge of upholding the civil rights of Americans.

Finally, in what is admittedly a bit of schadenfreude, we look at how the proposed merger of Kroger and Albertsons not only failed, but was so spectacularly demolished that Albertsons is suing Kroger over it.

AI Artificial Intelligence Big Ag Billionaires ChatGPT Donald Trump Episode Gramoxone Hallucinations Kamala Harris LA Times OpenAI Paraquat Parkinson's Presidential Politics Washington Post Whisper WSUM

TMI 11/01/2024 – OpenAI’s Careless Whisper Puts Hallucinations Into Medical Records, Paraquat’s Links to Parkinson’s Have Become Undeniable, WaPo and LATimes’ Endorsement Failures are Dangerous, more

OpenAI can’t just rely on ChatGPT subscriptions to pay for everything, so they have other professional offerings, like their “Whisper” AI-powered transcription app. The problem is, like other AI Large Language Modeled apps, Whisper has an alarming amount of “hallucinations” – phrases or sentences it just randomly adds without regard to what it was actually supposed to be transcribing. When applied to medical transcription, or interlanguage interpretation, these too-frequent errors become hazardous.

Then, we look at Paraquat (frequently marketed in the USA as Gramoxone) and the fact that despite being banned in many nations around the world – including the nation that MAKES the most of it – it is still used widely in the USA and Australia. Legal challenges are coming down the pike due to mounting evidence of Paraquat causing Parkinson’s, despite the assurances of the manufacturers that there’s no proof.

Finally, we look at the Washington Post and LA Times’ sudden reversal of planned endorsements of the Harris/Walz ticket. They wouldn’t go so far as to endorse Trump, but clearly they are terrified of what he might do to them if he wins.
