In this episode, we speak with Austin based journalist Kit O’Connell about the growing attacks on abortion access and the LGBTQ community across Texas. We discuss how anti-LGBTQ legislation, pushed by a wave of far-Right conspiracy theories which have repackage trans and homophobia into a panic around “groomers,” which is creating and atmosphere of fear and escalating calls for violence. We also discuss increased attacks on abortion access and how people are organizing to push back on multiple fronts.
