Friends, Foes, and Finding a Voice in Florida (April 4th, 2025)

Chris and Kaylia talk about the slow burn of progressive resistance that is finally starting to pick up steam, from Corey Booker’s record-breaking Senate speech to an interview with Feleipe Sousa-Lazaballet from Florida’s District 42, who is running to be the first Dreamer ever elected to the State House in that state. We also talk about some good news, the importance of protest, the inherent risks of free speech when you work for a corporation (or a university), and a few ways you can get involved in local lgbtq activism.
