🎙️ Episode 21 – Big, Beautiful, and Brutal
Final Episode of Season 1 of The Real Us Podcast!
Affirmation: In a hundred years, it will not matter... — so SPEAK THE F*CK UP today. '

We made it to the finale, babes — and we’re not going out quiet. In this season-ending mic drop, we’re unpacking what’s been heavy, what’s been hidden, and what absolutely needs to be hollered from every rooftop: 

🔥 Talking Points:

1. 🤖 LGBTQ+ + AI – Why some of us are opting out of content that doesn’t see us. (And why that matters.)
2. 🌪️ Texas Disasters – Climate chaos made worse by greed, negligence, and straight-up avoidable mistakes.
3. 💩 OBBBA – The Oh-So-Big-Beautiful Bill that’s actually utter BULLSH*T. What they’re really trying to pass off as progress.
4. 🛂 Immigration + Knowing Your Rights – What every human being deserves to understand, share, and defend.

Just The Tip: Speak the FUCK UP, babes. Closed mouths don’t shift systems. Let your voice crack the silence.
