Freelance journalist Harron Walker and TV critic Sean Collins, two co-authors of the original letter, join us to check in on how the Times has responded.And in headlines: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired his own defense minister for speaking out against a controversial plan to reform the country's judicial system, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced plans to station tactical nuclear weapons in neighboring Belarus, and the Los Angeles Unified School District reached a deal with 30,000 service workers after last week’s massive strike.Show Notes:What A Day: Showing Up For Trans Rights with Chase Strangio – https://crooked.com/podcast/showing-up-for-trans-rights-with-chase-strangio/What A Day: For Trans Liberation Is Everyone's Fight with Raquel Willis – https://crooked.com/podcast/the-fight-for-trans-liberation-is-everyones-fight-with-raquel-willis/Trans Week of Visibility & Action: March 25-31 (Twitter) – https://twitter.com/trans_weekWe See Each Other: A Black, Trans Journey Through TV and Film – https://www.trevellanderson.com/booksCrooked Coffee is officially here.
