In this episode, I dedicate the Big Story to the political firestorm surrounding Marjorie Taylor Greene’s “Protect Children’s Innocence Act,” which aims to federally criminalize gender-affirming care for minors and is set for a floor vote next week—a shocking display of hypocrisy and an architecture for a police state. I then introduce my Big Interview with Tre’vell Anderson, Executive Director of the Trans Journalists Association, who talks about the organization’s great work and the release of their new Trans News Initiative tool. In News Bites, I condemn the dead-naming of Dr. Rachel Levine on her official portrait, while in Random Acts, I discuss my fight against the Sheriff’s plan to make the Carver County Jail an ICE facility and the powerful effect of a note.
