“The Know-Nothing Party," Nativism, and Springfield, Ohio Today”
If you have been keeping up with the news, you may have heard about the city of https://springfieldohio.gov/, where there have been over 33 bomb threats (as of this posting) targeting its Haitian residents. How did this situation come about? Today, we will delve into the origins of the https://www.britannica.com/topic/Know-Nothing-party, also known as the American Party, a nativist political movement in the United States during the 1840s and 1850s.

Cool girls and pick-me girls
She’s one of the guys. She says she prefers to hang out with guys because girls cause “too much drama.” “I’m not a feminist because I don’t hate men.”I’m not like other girls.”
If this sounds familiar to you, maybe you know someone who’s a pick-me or cool girl. Let’s talk about it.

Neil Gaiman
Beloved author https://www.neilgaiman.com/ has recently been involved in a controversy following multiple allegations of sexual assault. Several women have come forward with accusations, some dating back decades. For example, a former employee at Gaiman's property accused him of coercive sexual behavior during her stay from 2014 to 2021. Other women have made similar claims, including Julia Hobsbawm, who described an unwanted sexual advance in the 1980s.According to a recent article in https://www.businessinsider.com/the-sandman-neil-gaiman-sexual-assault-allegations-timeline-2024-7#:~:text=Tortoise%20Media's%20podcast%2C%20%22Master%3A,an%20allegation%20relating%20to%202012. Tortoise Media's podcast, "https://www.tortoisemedia.com/2024/07/03/exclusive-neil-gaiman-accused-of-sexual-assault/," which was released on July 3, shares the stories of four women who alleged he sexually assaulted them in 1986 and 2022, respectively. Another woman appeared on a separate podcast with an allegation relating to 2012.Gaiman has denied all non-consensual aspects of the allegations. As we learn more about one of the most popular writers in the business, many of his current projects are on hold or outright canceled.

Ronald Reagan, trickledown economics & welfare queens
It’s time to talk about President Ronald Reagan’s “trickle-down economics” tax policy, which has been described as the most enduring failed policy idea in American politics. And that leads into Reagan’s narrative of “the welfare queen,” the undeserving women who are freeloading off of the American taxpayers, AND THAT feeds into the bigger story of people living in poverty who don’t want to work. What a creep.

Sun City and Apartheid in South Africa
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_City_(South_Africa) is a luxury resort and casino complex in South Africa. During the https://history.state.gov/milestones/1989-1992/apartheid), it became infamous for hosting international artists despite the global cultural boycott of South Africa. The South African government promoted Sun City as a major entertainment destination, but for many, it symbolized the oppression and exploitation of apartheid. https://africanactivist.msu.edu/organization/210-813-12 was a collective of musicians who came together in 1985 to raise awareness and protest apartheid, mainly targeting the Sun City resort. https://www.littlesteven.com/, a musician and member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, and record producer Arthur Baker spearheaded the group. They were outraged by the continued performances of international artists at Sun City despite the call for a cultural boycott of South Africa.

President Ronald Reagan and the AIDS crisis
When the AIDS epidemic started in the early ’80s, the Reagan administration's response mainly involved making jokes in the daily press briefings. Throughout his two terms as president, Reagan and his administration didn’t even do the bare minimum to help. According to The Atlantic, almost 83,000 cases of AIDS were confirmed while Reagan was in the White House, and nearly 50,000 people died of the disease. Reagan, what a creep.

Ronald Reagan “The Mental Health Systems Act 1980”
https://journals.ala.org/index.php/dttp/article/view/7933/11034 was a significant legislation to improve mental health care in the United States. It was signed into law by https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/james-carter/ on October 7, 1980. The act was intended to restructure the federal approach to mental health services, emphasizing community-based care and providing grants to community mental health centers to improve their services.
When Ronald Reagan assumed the presidency in January 1981, his administration's policies marked a drastic shift from those of his predecessor, Jimmy Carter, particularly in social services and mental health care.

Phyllis Schlafly
But before we had those weird losers like Lauren Bobert, Majorie Taylor Greene, and Laura Loomer, we had Phyllis Schlafly. Schlafly was a conservative activist who successfully campaigned against the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution because she thought women should stay home, and we were lucky to do so. Her work in the conservative movement paved the way for so much of what we see now in the GOP platform, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the constant sexism and transphobia. She was a garbage person with a lot of crappy takes. What a creep.
Trigger warning: Sexism, homophobia, the c-word, and we don’t mean “creep”

Toxic Fandom
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about toxic fandom. From “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” to the MCU and “Lord of the Rings,” these so-called fans resort to bullying, racism, misogyny, and even death threats—all in the name of a movie, TV show, or video game that they claim to love.
