Will Roberts joins us on this episode to discuss his Means.TV documentary "Out of Office" which succinctly and clearly shows the union's side of the 2023 OPEIU Local 39 strike on Trustage (nee CUNA Mutual). We examine how even when a union is present, effort must be made to use it to protect the workers... and when that effort is made, it can win BIG. Listen in!

Next, we look at the shame that is the "Alligator Alcatraz" detention center in Florida. Erected in eight days, designed to hold people out where escape can mean death by predator, and ready to be abused as this-century's version of a concentration camp, we look at this thing that both Trump and DeSantis hail as the new way to treat people they don't like. Finally, we go over some good news from the Wisconsin Supreme Court, as the majority decided to stop the Wisconsin State Legislature from unconstitutionally negating the rightful powers and duties of the office of Governor. All this and more on this BEST of TMI for Friday, July 18, 2025 - listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

Everyone's focused (and rightfully so) on the horrific set of rulings that the Supreme Court of the United States just released this past week and a half, which is why it flew under the radar that they've accepted a case for this coming year that could end all campaign finance limitations as they still exist. Electing to take up a lawsuit brought by then-Senator JD Vance in 2002, what will be on the table is one of the final prohibitions on campaign spending, and the makeup of this Court makes the 2010 one that said yes to Citizens United v. FEC look moderate.

Next, we have reached the end of the world. I'm not the one to reach this conclusion, and even Jessica Wildfire of The Sentinel Intelligence merely uncovered what linguistic philosopher Donald Davidson accidentally predicted in his essay "A Nice Derangement of Epitaphs" - that as human beings are social animals, we communicate to survive, and to communicate we have to be in the same shared world. Sharing a world, however, seems to be a thing of the past.

Finally, we go over two positive news items for the rights of trans people: first we go abroad to India, where the High Court of Andhra Pradesh has ruled that trans women are legally recognized as women under the Constitution of India; second, we see that back home, action taken by the ALCU and others finally has the Trump regime relenting, and starting to allow updating of gender markers on US passports for trans people.
