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.

As I write in my piece, which includes tons of citations, they've caused a lot of harm both to movements and to individual activists.

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.

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?
MAMDANI: I've spoken about--
TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.
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

Interviewing Graham Platner in a few hours (episode drops tomorrow).
What should we ask him?
Ok so clearly some folks here are upset that I interviewed Graham Platner.
I think it’s important to explain what the Find Out Podcast is, and how we were born.
In short - our goal is to move men to the left. In order to do that - we have to welcome folks who have changed over time.
The Find Out Podcast is about to experience its own Maine-ah-pa-looza
Friday we interview Graham Platner
Tuesday we interview Gov. Janet Mills
