Podcast appearances and mentions of chris geidner

The Supreme Court has upheld a Tennessee law barring gender-affirming care for minors. This is a devastating blow to trans kids and adults across the country, especially in the 25 states that currently have bans on gender affirming care for young people. To unpack the Court's decision, Imara spoke with award-winning journalist and “Law Dork” writer Chris Geidner in a conversation TransLash Media livestreamed on YouTube. Chris explains the conservative Justices' reasoning around the question of sex-based discrimination and the implications of this landmark case. Watch the livestream of the conversation here.

We've been focusing on the dynamics of democratic backsliding in the United States and beyond. In this episode of Postscript: Conversations on Politics and Political Science, Susan talks the co-founder and co-director of the Democratic Erosion Consortium, Dr. Robert Blair about how the Consortium offers FREE resources to teachers, students, journalists, policy makers, and any interested person – including shared syllabus, readings, assignments, YouTube virtual roundtables, and policy briefs. Rob defines democratic erosion and offers critical insights on the importance of interdisciplinarity, calibrating outrage, and distinguishing between policy disputes and the erosion of democracy. He offers a clear-headed analysis of what is legal v. what breaks down democracy that is not to be missed. We conclude with thoughts on what everyone can do protect democracy. Dr. Robert Blair is Associate Professor of Political Science and International and Public Affairs at Brown University and co-founder and co-director of the Democratic Erosion Consortium. He studies the consolidation of state authority after civil war, with an emphasis on rule of law and security institutions, as well as the causes and consequences of democratic backsliding. His book, Peacekeeping, Policing, and the Rule of Law after Civil War, was published in 2020 with Cambridge University Press and his articles appear in political science outlets such as American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, Comparative Political Studies, and International Organization but also science journals such as Science, Nature Human Behaviour, or Current Opinion in Psychology.

President Trump's many executive orders, detentions, and deportations have triggered a host of lawsuits. On this week's On the Media, how to understand the dozens of legal actions facing Trump. Plus, it's the first episode of The Divided Dial, all about the battle for shortwave radio.[01:00] Host Micah Loewinger talks with Chris Geidner, who has covered the Supreme Court for most of his career and writes for Law Dork, about how he tracks the 100+ lawsuits challenging President Trump's actions, the patterns emerging from the deluge of cases, and how the legal battles against the Trump administration have actually been more successful than the public may perceive.[14:25] Episode 1 of The Divided Dial, Season 2: Fishing in the Night. You know AM and FM radio. But did you know that there is a whole other world of radio surrounding us at all times? It's called shortwave — and, thanks to a quirk of science that lets broadcasters bounce radio waves off of the ionosphere, it can reach thousands of miles, penetrating rough terrain and geopolitical boundaries. Reporter Katie Thornton on how this instantaneous, global, mass communication tool — a sort of internet-before-the-internet — transformed from a utopian experiment in international connection to a hardened tool of information warfare and propaganda.Further reading:The horrors are not aberrations.

It's Hump Day! Sam speaks with Chris Geidner of the Law Dork newsletter on SubStack, to provide some updates on a number of court challenges to the Trump Administration's directives & executive orders. First, Sam runs through updates on the GOP's budget resolution, US-Ukraine relations, Elon's role in the Trump Administration, DOGE, an impending government shutdown, the GOP's town hall-phobia, Trump's “Gold Card” immigration plan, the EPA, longshoremen's contract win, Oregon nurses' contract win, and Bernie's move on arms sales to Israel, before watching AOC eviscerate the GOP's plan to cut taxes for the wealthy and benefits for the poor. Chris Geidner then outlines the various types of executive orders that have been coming from the Trump Administration, including legitimate executive actions, general memoranda, and insane musings, with an unfortunate majority landing in that latter category and often positing illegal, inhumane, and outrageous policy changes without more specific action entailed, ultimately making for a much more difficult challenge in court before the actual dangers are demonstrated. Expanding on the actual efforts to block these maneuvers, Geidner walks Sam through the expansive field of plaintiffs challenging everything from Trump's funding freeze and firings to constitutionality and DOGE, examining the various organizations backing these efforts, and unpacking the legal strategy – particularly around the fourth circuit – that has brought them success so far. After touching on the constructive, methodical nature of the still-developing legal cases against the Trump Administration, Chris and Sam wrap up with the insanity of Trump's impoundment maneuver and overwhelming attack on equal opportunity employment. And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks Jeff Bezos' announcement that the Washington Post will no longer publish opposing viewpoints to his own, watches Stephen A. Smith and Hakeem Jeffries take this moment to punch left, and admires White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's ability to crumble under pressure when Elon Musk's role in the government comes into question. The MR Team tackles Trump's insane AI-generated “Trump Gaza” video and absurd plan to put US citizenship up for purchase, before touching on his understandable fear of the Epstein Files. Mimi from Colorado discusses relationships with conservative family, Laura from Minneapolis highlights the importance of uplifting joy, and Max from New York examines Trump's recent discussion of US v.

The first day of President Trump's administration, the outright attacks on the transgender community began. A drove of extreme executive orders has ruthlessly targeted transgender individuals' safety and wellbeing. Chris Geidner, author of Law Dork, sits down to talk with us about these heinous assaults, their already-felt impacts on transgender individuals, and what to expect in the near future.The Trump administration's collection of executive orders includes those that place rigid definitions on the term “sex” and force transgender women in prison to be housed in men's facilities, ban transgender women from competing in women's sports, declare transgender individuals unfit for military service, and prevent transgender children from accessing gender-affirming care. Multiple lawsuits have already arisen that challenge the initial executive order, which largely erases and others the transgender community. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Over the past year, the Supreme Court has taken a far more active role in reviewing cases reflecting fringe arguments supported by federal district court judges and appellate circuits. The Western and Northern Districts of Texas have become the destination of choice for "judge-shopping" to receive the benefits of far-right conservative judicial ideology. But when attorneys challenging the ban on gender-affirming care used a similar approach to dismiss a case before a hostile right-wing conservative federal judge, the Alabama district court subjected them to a two-year secret investigation for purported "judge-shopping". Chris Geidner, a noted Supreme Court reporter and author of the newsletter "Law Dork" joins SideBar to discuss how federal "judge-shopping" is allegedly being used to manipulate outcomes and how the current Supreme Court is responding.

Full episode transcript HERE. MIFEPRISTONE IS HERE TO STAY!! For Now… The Supreme Court did a thing that we actually aren't pissed about! This week, the Supremes ruled UNANIMOUSLY in favor of the abortion pill mifepristone! The Court rebuffed an unfounded and politically-charged challenge to the drug from anti-abortion assholes, and not even oppression's handmaid Brett Kavanaugh took the bait. Good news can't be celebrated without a whole lot of bitching and dragging of the anti-abobo scheming that also went down this week. Who's on our shitlist? Some misogynist visionary clowns pulling some BS in the South, of course! So what comes next? Is this all part of a bigger conservative plan to outlaw abortion? Why did the Supreme Court even take this case to begin with? We've got questions AND we brought in the best in the biz to deliver the answers. Here to fill your earholes with their knowledge is the one and only publisher, author, legal expert and our favorite Law Dork, Chris Geidner! Times are heavy, but knowledge is power, y'all.

Andy Levy, co-host of TNA, suspects there's more to the 2024 presidential hopeful's workout vids than just stupidity. He discusses his theory with co-host Danielle Moodie, along with what he thinks is happening in Russia. Then, Kelly Weill, reporter at The Daily Beast who covers far-right groups and trends, tells Danielle what we should know about “Moms for Liberty,” a mom group that operates like Proud Boys and are just as dangerous. Plus! Law Dork newsletter's Chris Geidner breaks down a recent Supreme Court case ruling, Jones v Hendrix, which essentially prevents some legally innocent people from challenging their conviction. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this week's show, we are joined by journalist Evan Urquhart, who is transgender, to talk about a topic that's rarely covered by the legacy media: The psychological and emotional toll that the right's relentless assault on the LGBTQ community's rights--and in many cases, on their very existence--takes on queer people. It is hard to be the target of an energized neo-fascist movement with a lot of power. Then we take a look at a more positive side to the same story, as veteran legal reporter Chris Geidner tells us about some important recent wins that civil rights activists have secured in the courts against some of the laws that red states have passed to punish their perceived enemies in the queer community and beyond. Playlist:  The Cramps: "Goo Goo Muck"The English Beat: "Save It For Later"Music Machine: "Talk Talk" 

Journalist Chris Geidner stops by Supreme Myths to talk about covering the Court, journalism generally, Justice Thomas, and much more.

It was a culmination of things that ultimately led to Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox News, but according to Daily Beast senior media editor Andrew Kirell, the latest guest on this episode of The New Abnormal podcast, one mistake made by Carlson stands out the most. Plus! Hosts Andy Levy and Danielle Moodie make hilarious guesses at Tucker and former CNN anchor Don Lemon's futures, like, say a Freaky Friday switcheroo? Then, Andy talks to Chris Geidner, Deputy Legal Affairs Editor at Grid News, who gives background on how Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas became “the bomb throwers, fire throwers on the right,” shares his take on the absence of Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and predicts how the Fifth Circuit will rule on abortion drug Mifepristone.

Laura Ingraham is mad. The Fox News host is mad about shadow banning and, in a recent news clip, she disclosed she's mad about Herschel Walker's loss and mad at everyone involved but Walker himself. In this bonus episode of The New Abnormal podcast, co-hosts Andy Levy and Danielle Moodie hilariously break down (read: tear apart) her grievances (along with other wild GOP arguments made by conservative darlings John Kennedy and Tucker Carlson). MSNBC columnist and law journalist Chris Geidner also joins this episode to walk Andy through a few important Supreme Court cases, including the one involving a wedding website creator who wants the right to refuse same-sex couples her services. There's two big problems with her argument from the get-go, says Geidner.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

My guest this week has two lives — his theater life and his law life. By day, you may know Chris Geidner for his reporting and writing on some of the most pressing legal issues of the day. But he's just as passionate about musical theater, going all the way back to the time he was enthralled by Phantom of the Opera. In fact, it was one little twist of fate that led him to a legal career instead of a life in the theater — but, as he discovered, the two careers aren't as different as one might think.We'll have that conversation in a minute. First, in case you haven't heard, I've got a book coming out next year about queer sitcoms! It's called Hi Honey, I'm Homo, and pre-orders are open — head over to gaysitcoms.com to get all the details.Also, big thanks to everyone who supports The Sewers of Paris on Patreon!

February 15, 2013 | The last several years have seen renewed interest in the issue of diversity on college campuses, with issues of interreligious understanding and LGBTQ inclusion at the forefront. What divisions persist along lines of religious or sexual orientation, and how can we move beyond tolerance to understanding? Chris Stedman, author of Faitheist and Harvard LGBTQ activist, examined issues around respectfully engaging religious and sexual diversity. Stedman draws on his work organizing interfaith and 
secular communities, his academic study of religion, 
and his own experiences to argue for the necessity of 
bridging the chasm between atheists and the religious. Chris Geidner, senior political reporter at BuzzFeed, moderated the discussion, beginning with a dialogue with Stedman about his work and current LGBTQ faith and atheist issues. Geidner has been covering the LGBTQ community's advances in public life over the past decade. Joining Stedman and Geidner were be Shiva Subbaraman, director of Georgetown's LGBTQ Center, and student participants. Chris Stedman is an atheist working to 
foster positive and productive dialogue and
 collaborative action between faith communities and the nonreligious. He writes for Huffington Post Gay
 Voices, Huffington Post Religion, The Washington Post 
On Faith, Religion Dispatches, and Relevant. He received his B.A. in Religion from Augsburg College and an M.A. in Religion from Meadville 
Lombard Theological School at the University of 
Chicago, for which he was awarded the Billings Prize
 for Most Outstanding Scholastic Achievement. Chris Geidner is the senior political reporter at BuzzFeed. Prior to joining BuzzFeed in 2012, Geidner had been the senior political editor at Washington, DC's Metro Weekly. Over the course of his time covering the national LGBT political and legal scene, he has been awarded the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Magazine Article and the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association's Sarah Pettit Memorial Award for Excellence in LGBT Media. Before moving to DC in 2009, Geidner had worked as an attorney in Ohio, at a private firm and for the State of Ohio. Sivagami (Shiva) Subbaraman is Director of the LGBTQ Resource Center at Georgetown University. She has worked extensively across differing communities and groups, and to weave LGBTQ into the larger tapestry of the Georgetown Community. Before coming to Georgetown University, she worked as Associate Director at the office of LGBT Equity and as Assistant Director at the Office of Human Relations programs at the University of Maryland. Additionally, she has taught at Macalester College, Drake University, and the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. Her areas of research interests are US women of color literature, culture, and feminist theories. An active feminist, Subbaraman is on the board of several feminist community organizations. Additionally, she regularly gives talks at national conferences and is a member of The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, National Association of Student Personnel Administrators, Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, and the Modern Languages Association.

Amidst the ongoing apocalypse, beside the flaming wreckage of democracy and the ashes of the constitution, there has been a lot of people with no idea what they're talking about throwing around legal terms like "emoluments" and "tort." So to help get this nonsense back on track, this week Josh sits down with Chris Geidner, an award-winning legal editor at BuzzFeed and a former principal assistant attorney general in Ohio. Perhaps after an hour with Chris, we'll all know a bit more about what exactly may save this nation and planet – legally speaking. Or perhaps the world will explode before you finish... but then, what a way to go out. We present episode 83. Learn something today! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
