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. All this and more on the Best of TMI for Friday, January 10, 2025 – listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

Abortion Big Oil Bitumen Episode Karen Middleton KeystoneXL NARAL Personhood Pro-choice SCOTUS Steve Horn Tar Sands Women's Rights WSUM

TMI 10/11/2014 – No KXL Required with Steve Horn, Colorado’s Push for “Personhood” with Karen Middleton, and SCOTUS Interruptus!

Usually, I prefer a relaxed attitude about things: no jacket required, open mic nights, etc. In the case of big oil, however, I make an exception: they want to bring Alberta tar sands bitumen to market, no Keystone XL required… and it looks like they’ve managed it. Steve Horn joins us to discuss how this came to be while we were focused on KXL.

Then, have you heard of “Personhood”? It’s the concept that a fertilized egg has the same rights as a full human being. It comes up every few years, but this time it’s been reframed in an insidious new way that tricked former opponents into backing it. Karen Middleton, Executive Director of NARAL Pro-Choice Colorado, joins us to help sort it out and pin down where in America is facing this new threat to women’s rights.

Finally, the Supreme Court is issuing rulings left and right, some good, some bad, and many confusing. We’ll go over some of what’s going on with the nation’s highest court. Catch all that and more on TMI for Saturday, October 11, 2014, airing live at noon Central on WSUM FM 91.7 and streaming live everywhere on http://wsum.org/ – get your dose of the Cure for the Common Media!
