In recent years, despite trans people making up a relatively small percentage of the population, there has been an outsized and deeply harmful wave of anti-trans backlash. Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign was fueled in large part by anti-trans rhetoric, and he wasted no time acting on his hateful promises in his first days back in office. This week, Adam speaks with Chase Strangio, Co-Director of the ACLU’s LGBT & HIV Project and the first trans man to argue before the Supreme Court, to discuss the relentless assault on trans rights in America—and how these attacks ultimately impact everyone.

The Los Angeles fires were not preventable, virtually nothing could have been done to prevent the devastation. While it's natural for people to seek someone or something to blame—often focusing on the response to the fire—the truth is that the root cause runs so much deeper than that.

The phrase "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" actually started as a joke—because, let’s face it, it’s physically impossible. So how did this absurd notion become one of the most unshakable ideas in American culture? The truth is, the ideals of self-reliance and hustle have always been more myth than reality. This week, Adam sits down with Adam Chandler, author of 99% Perspiration, to explore how the myth of hard work and hustle culture has been weaponized to keep the rich richer, while the rest of us are left struggling in a system rigged against us.
