TransLash Podcast with Imara Jones

Trump's First 100 Days


Listen Later

In the first 100 days of his second term, Donald Trump has launched an extreme and focused attack on trans people and our rights. This week, Imara speaks with journalists Christopher Wiggins and Katelyn Burns to unpack the real-time consequences of this escalating agenda. Christopher shares what he’s witnessing on Capitol Hill, from bathroom bans and restrictions on the press, to the broader climate of fear and erasure now gripping Washington. Then, Katelyn reflects on the ways Democrats have succeeded and failed at standing up to Trump’s agenda. Both conversations expose how transphobia is being used as a test case for stripping rights from broader swaths of the population, and what the media and public still aren’t fully grasping about the danger.
