TMI 4/4/2025 – The Horror of ICE AND Self Deportation with Leslie “Uber Girl” James, Elon’s “Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day”, Some Good Trans News, more

You’ve heard that ICE raids and sweeps have sent many people to horrific confinement and even brutal violence in El Salvador, but did you hear about the US Citizen that was swept up and sent along? We examine why he likely won’t be coming back, and then we hear the firsthand experience of Leslie “Uber Girl” James with two women who had the heartbreak of self-deportation, escaping the nightmare the USA has become for hopeful future citizens.

Next, we aim to give fresh insights into the horrible losses suffered by Elon Musk, Donald Trump and the GOP in general this past Tuesday. Yes, its all over the common media, but there are parts to it that they aren’t talking about. Finally, we wrap up with some GOOD news for trans and intersex people.

Canada Donald Trump Episode Fascism ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) Jasmine Mooney Posse Comitatus Act WSUM

TMI 3/28/2025 – Jasmine Mooney’s Firsthand Account of 2025 ICE Detention Will Leave You Chilled, Trump Seeks to Make Military Border Zone with Mexico, Why It Is Wrong To Call MAGA Stupid, more

Canadian actress and entrepreneur Jasmine Mooney spent a nearly two week span this year detained by ICE. She gives a harrowing firsthand account of how, despite being assured by the intaking officer “You didn’t do anything wrong. You are not in trouble, you are not a criminal,” she was literally imprisoned with hundreds of others, many of whom were there before her and remain in captivity to this day. You need to hear what happened if you want to understand how dire the situation is.

Next, we go over how Trump wants to make a long narrow military base at the border between Mexico and New Mexico to act as a “buffer zone” run by the US Military, in order to skirt the Posse Comitatus Act. Then we check out reports that a French scientist heading for Houston was refused entry to the USA because his phone contained mean texts about Trump. Finally, we go over how it is a mistake to refer to MAGA-voting people as “stupid”, when the unfortunate truth is far darker.

American College of Surgeons Blake Alvarenga Concealed Carry Permits Donald Trump Episode Gaza Genocide Stop the Bleed TFI The Forward Initiative Transgender UW-Madison WSUM

TMI 3/14/2025 – The Forward Initiative Helps Progressives Get Firearm Permits and More, Trump Aims to Strip 60 Universities Over Last Year’s Protests, Attacks on Trans People Defeated Nationwide, more

Progressives often feel unwelcome in concealed carry classes or out on the practice ranges, as stark political differences can be heightened in the presence of firearms. Enter Blake Alvarenga, Executive Director of The Forward Initiative or “TFI”. TFI is devoted to not JUST making sure progressives can be comfortable in exercising their Second Amendment rights, but also offers the “Stop the Bleed” program, affiliated with the American College of Surgeons, to instruct people on how to stop a severely injured person from bleeding out. We discuss TFI’s goals and classes.

Next, despite political protests being one of the most protected forms of expression by the First Amendment, the Trump Administration is threatening to cut all Federal funding for 60 institutions of higher learning, including UW-Madison, over the protests of the genocide in Gaza that went on last year. Finally, we talk about how judges have been pushing back against Trump’s attacks on transgender people, and how even in the very-red State of Montana, the legislature has had Republican Representatives cross the aisle to stand with Democratic Representatives there against heinous anti-trans bills.

Act 10 American Medical Association (AMA) Billionaires Brad Schimel Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE) Donald Trump Elon Musk Episode Jessica Wildfire Scott Walker Susan Crawford The Sentinel Intelligence Wisconsin Supreme Court WSUM

BEST OF TMI 3/7/2025 – Wisconsin Supreme Court race has been hidden in the newscycle, AMA Steps Up for the CDC’s Loss of Vital Info, Obsolescence Was Invented to Make Billionaires, more

On this BEST OF TMI episode, we look back at three of the most important topics of 2025 so far! First, the State of Wisconsin has one of the MOST important elections in the USA for 2025 coming up in less than 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 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, Jessica Wildfire’s post at The Sentinel Intelligence tells how obsolescence was an idea purposefully put into place to ensure the profits kept rolling in – right to the top!

Bernie Sanders Climate Democratic Party Donald Trump Episode Jeff Bezos Transgender Transphobia Washington Post WSUM

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.

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.

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!
