Fund Abortion, Not ICE With Leigh Finke
Description
It’s only January and we’re already pissed. Your Feminist Buzzkills are officially BACK with our first pod of 2026, and we’re ready to fuck some shit up. Lizz and Moji are lacing up their boots and standing elbow-to-elbow with y’all every single day they come for one of us. From the latest escalation of the “there’s abortions in our water” panic to a huge abortion win in Wyoming, a LOT went down while we were busy baking, wrapping, and just trying to survive.
GUEST ROLL CALL!
It feels like the world is BURNING; with heartbreaking news pouring out of the North Star State, we’re starting the new year with the best person we know to break it all down: Minnesota State House Representative, Leigh Finke. The first openly trans member in the Minnesota State Legislature and chair of the Reproductive Freedom Caucus dives into all of the anti-trans healthcare assaults that the Trump Administration dropped over the holidays, and brings us updates on the tragic ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
We know we say this often (and it’s always true ofc), but this is absolutely a pod you won’t want to miss!
Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y’all. We gotchu.
