We had a really important conversation on the Find Out Pod last week about what it means to be a true ally to the Trans community.
And why it's incredibly important to listen to the community if you're going to advocate for them.

In the last 24 hours I’ve seen a bunch of my friends at the #RemoveTheRegime protests used by the front-group “#RefuseFascism.” I only recently became aware of who they are and of their history of co-opting and sabotaging movements. So I wrote this warning.

As Veterans, we know that when it takes a $50,000 bonus to get someone to wear a uniform, the quality of the recruiting pool has drastically reduced and the mission of the force is unpopular.
ICE Agents will only grow worse over time, and they’ll grow more dangerous every day.

Facts don’t matter to those who cling to their biases like a lifeboat. We can call out the lies from conservative media, but we need to build a better narrative that speaks to shared values. Together, we can make it happen. #FindOutPodcast #politics
