On the radio show this week we dive into the importance of bodily autonomy and access to contraception and the full suite of reproductive healthcare, at home and abroad, with U.S. Representative Grace Meng. Then, we hear about Ultraviolet's campaign against Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, which generates sexualized images without consent, and how to protect women and children online. After that, we cover the impact of the Dobbs decision and the ensuing abortion restrictions, bans, and preventable deaths. Finally, we discuss the Trump Administration's coordinated attack on child care, using many unfounded claims of fraud to justify cuts and restrictions.

On the radio show this week we dive into the importance of coming together ahead of the midterms, drawing parallels to historical examples of resistance and resilience. We hear about the devastating impact of Republican cuts on health care, and a hopeful moment in the ongoing fight to lower costs. We also cover inclusive education and embracing the fullness of humanity in the classroom, and why we need to protect the education programs that make this happen. Finally, we discuss how the far-right is launching a culture war against child care that led the Trump Administration to freeze funding to blue states.
