No Comments on TMI 07/04/2025 – SCOTUS Will Listen to GOP Argument That There Isn’t Enough Money in Politics, The End of the (Shared) World As We Know It, Two Good News Items for Trans Rights, more

Everyone’s focused (and rightfully so) on the horrific set of rulings that the Supreme Court of the United States just released this past week and a half, which is why it flew under the radar that they’ve accepted a case for this coming year that could end all campaign finance limitations as they still exist. Electing to take up a lawsuit brought by then-Senator JD Vance in 2002, what will be on the table is one of the final prohibitions on campaign spending, and the makeup of this Court makes the 2010 one that said yes to Citizens United v. FEC look moderate.

Next, we have reached the end of the world. I’m not the one to reach this conclusion, and even Jessica Wildfire of The Sentinel Intelligence merely uncovered what linguistic philosopher Donald Davidson accidentally predicted in his essay “A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs” – that as human beings are social animals, we communicate to survive, and to communicate we have to be in the same shared world. Sharing a world, however, seems to be a thing of the past.

Finally, we go over two positive news items for the rights of trans people: first we go abroad to India, where the High Court of Andhra Pradesh has ruled that trans women are legally recognized as women under the Constitution of India; second, we see that back home, action taken by the ALCU and others finally has the Trump regime relenting, and starting to allow updating of gender markers on US passports for trans people.

TMI 06/20/2025 – Jessica Wildfire Says “I Told You So” to the “Can’t Happen Here” Crowd, SCOTUS Makes Horrible Ruling on Gender Affirming Care, Fed Judge Declares Anti-Woke Initiatives “Racist”, more

Jessica Wildfire posted an overview on The Sentinel Intelligence of how people in denial of the rise of 21st century fascism repeatedly told those of us who warned about it that it “can’t happen here”. Then she pointed out how in each and every warning that was given, we are already there, despite some of the loudest media naysayers’ continued attempts to make things seem normal.

Next, the Supreme Court handed down a ruling that, while failing to destroy ALL the legal wins trans rights have had recently, puts a serious amount of medical rights for trans people in extreme peril – we review. Finally, we show how a federal judge took apart the Trump Regime’s arguments for its “anti-woke” orders and directly declared them to be “racist”.

TMI 06/13/2025 – The Fallacies of Capitalism with Sam Reilly, The Reality of Trump’s LA Invasion with Senator Bernie Sanders, Utah’s Study to Confirm Gender-Affirming Care is Bad Fails, more

Essayist Sam Reilly joins us for an interview on his investigation of Capitalism’s pervasive lie that the competition it breeds brings about the best results for everyone. Together, he and I help outline the many ways it fails to bear the promised results.

Next, Senator Bernie Sanders spared some of his busy schedule to record his thoughts on the so-called Los Angeles “riots” and how Trump had used them as a poor excuse to further his fascistic ends – I “interview” Bernie’s recording to make sure we have what he meant as clear as possible. Finally, we look at how a study commissioned by the GOP of Utah to show scientific evidence of the harms of gender-affirming care flipped on them.

TMI 05/16/2025 – Washington Post’s Inconsistent Ethics, Omaha’s Electoral Upset, Federal ICE Free Speech Case, Women’s Prison Privacy & Pope Leo XIV’s Emerging Papacy, more

The Washington Post hasn’t been shy about criticizing RFK Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services for pushing disinformation on a number of topics, from autism to vaccines, but when RFK Jr’s HHS released a report full of anti-trans pseudoscience, they embraced it warmly. With help from Erin Reed’s cogent reporting, we examine the falsehoods that WaPo helped endorse, and work to combat the corrosive effect of a major American newspaper spreading them.

We then give a rapid overview of four more topics – the surprise win for Democrat in the race for Omaha’s mayor, how a Federal judge is questioning if noncitizens have Constitutional rights, how Michigan’s Department of Corrections is violating women prisoners’ rights by video recording them even in the shower, and finally what Pope Leo XIV’s past and choice of name tells us about his political positions.

TMI 4/18/2025 – Analyzing the Economic Damage Done by Trump’s Tariffs, Keeping Trans Kids From Gender Affirming Care Now Stops Trans Adults, France’s High-Speed Rail Leaves USA Envious, more

Ian Bremmer of GZeroMedia.com is known for solid, factual analysis, so when he posted his examination of the effect Trump’s tariffs are going to have on the USA and the world, I knew I had to share it with you. How a topic so widely talked about has had so many details go unreported is a mystery to me, but that’s why you listen to the Cure for the Common Media. Next, we look at how bills originally aimed at stopping trans youth from receiving the gender affirming care they deserve are now halting that same care for trans adults – funny how the party of “small government” gives that up the moment BIG government will cause suffering for those they hate. Finally, we look at France’s new high-speed rail system, and how the responses to its unveiling from Americans are steeped in envy.

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.

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.

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.

BEST OF TMI 01/10/2025 – SCOTUS Trans Youth Rights Case Can Destroy All Women’s Rights, Finland Seizes Russian Spy Ship, Fighting Smear Campaign Against Jimmy Carter, Quantum Teleportation Breakthrough, more

Rebroadcasting the first TMI for 2025, we look at how the arguments being used to take rights away from trans youth would, if allowed to be the basis by SCOTUS for their decision, also decimate rights for all women in the United States, cis and trans alike! Next, we move over to Finland, who in investigating the damage caused to the power cable that connects Estonia to their grid, took in a tanker that had a full complement of Russian spy equipment and personnel.

Then, we look at the despicable attacks being leveled against former President Jimmy Carter by CNN, Fox and others, all based around his 2006 book where he recalled his attempts in the late 1970s to make peace between Israel and Palestine, referring to Israel as an “apartheid” state. They dug up all the old controversy without noting that NONE of what Carter reported would be considered remotely inaccurate today. Finally, we take a glimpse at a breakthrough in quantum teleportation, where they were able to instantaneously transmit the complete photonic state between locations separated by 30km worth of very busy Internet fiber cable.
