“Culture Wars: Moral Kombat, on the wave of anti-trans legislation taken up by numerous states. Twenty-five states, for example, are considering bans on transgender youth, especially girls, from sports, based on a single case in Connecticut of a trans female athlete winning a state championship. When it comes to major issues with tons of evidence like climate change, or coronavirus, or gun violence, Republicans are like, ‘Huh, let’s wait until we see more evidence.’ But now, there’s an issue that barely even exists, and they’re like, ‘We don’t have time for evidence, there’s a plastic trophy at stake!’” —Trevor Noah
“Some states are also prohibiting medical care – Arkansas banned transgender medical care for minors even with parental consent, and a North Carolina measure would even compel state workers, such as teachers, to notify parents if their child shows ‘gender nonconformity’. You guys are playing – so North Carolina is going to make its school employees snitch on kids any time they don’t ‘conform to their gender’? What does that even mean? Conforming to one’s gender? This is not just transphobic, it’s also sexist and everything else. These Republicans act like all they care about is the health and wellbeing of the kids. But it kind of gives the game away when they start adding on stuff like ‘And don’t play with dolls or we’ll tell your mom!’” —Trevor Noah

“A magisterial collection. An emotional roller coaster. Soon to be a cult classic.
A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night of the Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
