Resisting Project 2025 -- For Queers/Trans People and Everyone
Fall 2024 Rally - Anne-christine d’Adesky (center)
Out-FM's Bob Lederer will speak with Anne-christine d’Adesky, a journalist, author, and founder/director of the Resisting Project 2025 campaign, and a longtime queer liberation activist, about some of the most outrageous plans for Trump 2.0. They will review how people are already planning to resist. The discussion will focus on expected Project 2025 “Day One” Executive Orders that Trump will sign, including against undocumented immigrants and trans people, on Cabinet health picks, and the overall push to entrench white racist Christian nationalism as the dominating ideology of the federal government. There will be options presented for how listeners can get involved to fight back. Podcast https://www.stopthecoup2025.org/

My Journey from Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi to Transgender Woman
By Anne-christine d’Adesky
Despite Trump’s denialism, 36 of his 66 nominees are tied to Project 2025, we found. As we brace for a shock-and-awe “Day One” assault on our democracy, progressives plot resistance. A 2-part report.
Trump 2.0 is Project 2025: Readying for "Day One." A report on the early resistance. (Pt. 2 of 2)
What to expect on "Day One" of Trump 2.0 as Project 2025 is weaponized to unleash a shock-and-awe assault on our democracy, and progressives plan a nascent counter-offensive.

Commemorating Poet Nikki Giovanni
Tonight we commemorate the life and times of Poet Nikki Giovanni who made her transition on Dec 9, 2024, at age 81. Poet Cheryl Boyce Taylor and Out-FM producer Stahimili Mapp will discuss Giovanni’s development and contribution to the Black Arts Movement of the last century, her role as and contribution to later poetry movements as well as her crossover appeal.
And what, if any impact, did her identity as a black lesbian have on her poetry?

Who is the Terrorist?
A Commentary on "Wicked" by Peter Jonas
The question of who and what is a terrorist comes to play in the film "Wicked," a dazzling musical with much to offer the queer world. Taken from a dark novel and morphed into an upbeat, eye-popping spectacle of captivating dance and exhilarating song, Wicked serves as a prequel which presents an alternative narrative on Elphaba, previously known in The Wizard of Oz as The Wicked Witch of the West. In this variation, we get to know a complicated and nuanced character who begins life as an outcast and becomes a righteous, renegade activist in the fascist, apartheid state of Oz. What can we learn from this story as we are confronted with the fascism of the oncoming white supremacist tRump regime? Listen to this episode of Out-FM for the full commentary (starts at 38:53) or read it HERE.
