TMI 09/05/2025 – No LGBT Movement Without Trans Voices, Google’s Hollow Monopoly Loss, Protests Erupt Nationwide, more

We begin this episode with a direct response to a listener email regarding trans inclusion, providing a necessary history lesson that proves there is absolutely no LGBT movement without trans people. Then, we look at Big Tech, explaining how Google managed to win while losing—a judge officially ruled them an illegal monopoly, but the proposed remedy completely fails to do anything about it.

Next, we aim to give fresh insights into the growing national unrest. We report on the massive protests against Federal troops and anti-labor policies erupting simultaneously in Chicago, Jacksonville, and Denver.

Public figures and celebrities have laws designed to help keep their flight information private, but now Trump’s ICE is blatantly abusing those flight privacy laws to hide their own activities! We examine this aggressive lack of transparency. Then, we look at the resistance on the ground, highlighting how DC protestors successfully stood up to Trump’s fascist coup of local police forces.

Next, we aim to give fresh insights into legal accountability for trans healthcare.

(Original broadcast August 15, 2025, rebroadcast the following week)

We examine the systemic dismantling of local authority. Then, we look at the economy, revealing how Trump’s chaotic tariffs are trickling down to affect something as inconsequential and universally known as a can of AriZona Iced Tea.

Next, we aim to give fresh insights into the bizarre fallout of anti-trans paranoia. We discuss the case where Buffalo Wild Wings was sued for viciously harassing a cisgender woman because they falsely assumed she was trans.

On this Bestof TMI episode, Will Roberts joins us to discuss his Means.TV documentary “Out of Office” which succinctly and clearly shows the union’s side of the 2023 OPEIU Local 39 strike on Trustage (nee CUNA Mutual). We examine how even when a union is present, effort must be made to use it to protect the workers… and when that effort is made, it can win BIG. Listen in!

Next, we look at the shame that is the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in Florida. Erected in eight days, designed to hold people out where escape can mean death by predator, and ready to be abused as this-century’s version of a concentration camp, we look at this thing that both Trump and DeSantis hail as the new way to treat people they don’t like. Finally, we go over some good news from the Wisconsin Supreme Court, as the majority decided to stop the Wisconsin State Legislature from unconstitutionally negating the rightful powers and duties of the office of Governor.

TMI 05/30/2025 – Lisa Graves Says Chief Justice John Roberts is ‘Unprecedented’, Bill in Congress to Destroy Courts’ Oversight of Trump, Federal Court Blocks Iowa Book Ban, more

Today’s episode opens with an illuminating interview with Lisa Graves, Co-host at Legal AF, MeidasTouch and the Five 8 1/2, discussing her forthcoming book “Unprecedented,” which examines Chief Justice John Roberts’ leadership in the Supreme Court and his rise to power on the backs of the nation’s most fascist interests- listen in to hear more.

Next, we looked at alarming developments in Congress, where provisions buried within Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” are designed to systematically dismantle judicial oversight, including the No Rogue Rulings Act, which would strip judges of their power to issue nationwide injunctions against Trump’s policies. Finally, a federal court has struck down Iowa’s anti-LGBTQ book ban law as largely unconstitutional for its prohibition of school library books “containing descriptions or depictions of sex acts.” All this and more on TMI for Friday, May 30, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

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.

Episode Food Apartheid Food Desert Jessica Wildfire LGBTQ+ OK Doomer ProPublica Region-Beta Paradox WSUM

TMI 08/30/2024 – Why Things Improve Most When They’re Terrible, ProPublica Examines the Failure to Reclaim Food Deserts, a Federal Judge Rules Trans Teen May Play Soccer in Female Team, more

Jessica Wildfire of OK Doomer wrote a piece this week that lost her more than a few subscribers, which is a shame given that it tells us a very important truth: that we often only improve things when faced with a horrible fate. The Region-Beta Paradox is important to understand, and we use Jessica’s plain-language distillation to get a grip on it.

Then, we head over to look at the national effort to combat food deserts (or as is catching on more lately, food apartheid). ProPublica reported on how the millions poured into founding local grocery stores in the middle of these under-served regions have met with frustrations and failure that can only be explained by understanding how these conditions began in the first place – we go over it all. Finally, we talk about a bright spot: a trans teen was allowed to play with her supportive cisgender teammates on a female soccer team, challenging the hateful ban in favor of community and joy.

Finally, we talk about how Amnesty International has dinged a nation very familiar to you with well over 100 human rights violations in a span of under two weeks, and how that adds to the woes being faced at getting an important segment of the vote ready for November.
