Description
SPECIAL GUEST to talk through the vibes of the week: Katie Grossbard. Katie is an attorney, founding member of I am a voter and This is About Humanity. She is a digital creator that aims to empower people to be more informed and less overwhelmed. We love that.
Brian, Glennis and Katie talk about Trump’s Easter meltdown coupled with right-wing media’s freakout over the Trans Day of Visibility landing on Easter Sunday and their insistence that everything they don’t like — including the Baltimore bridge accident – is all Biden’s fault.
They also discuss a new by the Florida Supreme Court that upends decades of legal precedent and will effectively allow for a 6-week abortion ban in the State. But they also said a proposed amendment to protect abortion access can appear on the ballot. We’ll talk about what it all means for abortion seekers in the state and for the 2024 election.
They'll talk about some shocking literature produced by extremists from The Heritage Foundation and a publication called The American Conservative that lays out the right-wing agenda.
All that before IT'S GIVING, a GROUP CHAT, and a GOOD VIBE GOODBYE.
