Call me anti-American, but ACTUALLY...250 years ago a group of rich white men signed a document to create a slave state, where only white male property owners could vote, women were property, and God sanctioned their genocide against indigenous populations and violent erasure of queer life.

As we're processing the Supreme Court decision on transgender athletes, yesterday I spoke with MN Attorney General Keith Ellison on this very issue. A clip from our convo:

I asked @willtodman.bsky.social if Iran "won" the negotiations. Will's the Chief of Staff of the Geopolitics and Foreign Policy Department and a senior fellow in the Middle East Program at the @geopolitics.csis.org. He also hosts the excellent State of Play podcast.

CONGRATS to @ilanaslightly.bsky.social on winning the Lambda Literary award for her novel Beings. 😍 SO GOOD. It starts in 1961. An interracial couple drives through the New Hampshire mountains. A UFO appears. Years later, hypnosis helps them remember, giving birth to the alien abduction narrative.

How did Transgender Healthcare become a flash point in a piece of legislation about National Defense? I asked Lucas Schleusener who is the the Co-Founder and CEO of @outinnationalsecurity.org.

I spoke yesterday with Richard Carlbom who is the chair of the MN DFL Party. I asked him what he has been hearing from voters. Here is his response.

Live at Golden Valley Pride! Tune in at 2pm CST or watch on YouTube! So grateful to be on a radio station that broadcasts from Prides, National Coming Out Day Lunches, and community events. Thanks AM950 Radio!

Will ICE be at MN polling locations this November? I asked Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon.

These texts from National Dem organizations are getting out of hand.

If you're going to be a conspiracy theorist, then I ask that you put a little effort into it.

Four pics you're using to defend your face card...wait, what's happening?

The New York Times Be New York Times-ing extra hard.

Not going to censor myself. Why the FUCK is Pew Research Center putting homosexuality on a list of CHOICES for a survey of MORALITY? People choose to gamble, have an abortion, and have an affair. You don't CHOOSE to be gay. What the fuck is wrong with the researchers who created this survey?

For the past 80+ days the Trump admin has lied about the number of ICE officers in Minnesota, how many people were kidnapped, how many were US citizens, how many had criminal records, the locations of detainees, and the welfare of children. My advice: believe nothing until independently verified.

@schuneke.bsky.social joins us today to talk about his forthcoming book I Will Not Abandon You: Queer Women in Nazi Germany. It comes out April 14! We'll also be discussing the war in Iran and the new huge banner of Trump's face on the Department of Justice (amongst other "fun" new banners).

Trump removed Maduro from Venezuela, but the entire dictatorship remains. Now, he's attacking Iran (along with Israel)...to what end? Don't tell me it's regime change or the nukes they don't have.

Does anyone remember that episode of The Good Place where the accountants observed that everything humans do is basically a sex thing? www.newsweek.com/third-americ...

You're spot on. My undergrad degree is in conflict & peace studies. If journalists can only read one thing, then it should be this. 👇 So many steps are needed before the *possibility* of reconciliation.

Came up to WI and woke up to my new personal record.

THAT was the question Tapper asked? Frey said fuck. And look at what Noem is saying on her podium 👇 Is Tapper trying to compare the two as equal? Does he think if Frey hadn't said fuck then Trump would haven't LIED about the video? As a broadcaster let me say: Fuck the fuck off Jake Tapper.

Spent the morning writing, then turned on the news to find out that the new standard of international law is that all countries are subject to US law. And the mood is "well, if you don't break American laws then you'll be fine." Hegseth in the press briefing:

@kenschneck.bsky.social decided to go out into the freezing cold to promote this week's ep of This News Is So Gay. I, on the other hand, did not. But however you listen to your podcasts (in the frigid snow or wearing thick sweaters indoors) here's the link! thebuckeyeflame.com/2025/12/03/t...
