Three powerful, absolutely-nothing-like-one-another conversations on this week's jam-packed mega-episode:The ACLU's Chase Strangio blows open the absurdity and cruelty of state legislation targeting trans youth who want to play sports—and agrees with Hari about Rodney Dangerfield's relevance to the conversation.Dr. Connie Wun lifts up the humanity of the victims of the spa killings near Atlanta and connects their murders to America's long history of racist and colonial violence against Asians and Asian-Americans. And she makes the case that cops won't end hate crimes—but organized communities can.Then Derek DelGaudio, creator of In & Of Itself and author of AMORALMAN, communes with Kamau about magic, identity, performance, and only-childness.Find our guests:Chase Strangio (@chasestrangio) https://www.aclu.org/news/by/chase-strangio/Dr. Connie Wun (@conniewunphd) https://www.conniewunphd.comDerek DelGaudio (@derek_del) Trans-led orgs recommended by Chase:Transformation Project (South Dakota) https://www.transformationprojectsd.org Transgender Education Network of Texas https://www.transtexas.orgGrassroots orgs highlighted by Connie:AAPI Women Lead https://www.imreadymovement.orgAdvancing Justice https://www.advancingjustice-aajc.orgCAAAV https://caaav.orgDRUM: Desis Rising Up and Moving https://www.drumnyc.orgRed Canary Song https://www.redcanarysong.netVietLead https://www.vietlead.orgVietRISE https://vietrise.org18 Million Rising https://18millionrising.orgAlso mentioned in the show:Disclosure http://www.disclosurethemovie.com/about
