This week on Messy Liberation, Becky and Taina dive headfirst into the chaos of U.S. politics, personal rights under threat, and the culture wars playing out in real time. From the militarization of D.C. to the looming Supreme Court cases threatening Obergefell, they unpack how Project 2025 is already reshaping daily life and why “just wait and see” isn’t an option when democracy is on the line.

They also get personal: what it means to feel unsafe in your own country, how queer couples are already strategizing to protect their families, and why pride flags signal more safety than American flags these days.

And because no episode is complete without calling out cultural contradictions, Becky and Taina take on Taylor Swift and the problem with white feminism. Can you enjoy the music while still holding celebrities accountable for their choices? Absolutely—but ignoring privilege and power isn’t an option.

It’s a heated, unfiltered conversation. If you’re activated by it, you’re not alone—just don’t forget to take care of your nervous system afterward.

Discussed in This Episode:

• Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in D.C. and the playbook of creeping fascism
• Project 2025 and how it’s already reshaping policy, strategy, and daily life
• The fight to protect Obergefell and what the threat to marriage equality means for queer families
• Lavender marriages, legal loopholes, and the exhausting extra labor LGBTQ+ couples face
• How rights once granted are now being stripped away—and the chilling precedent that sets
• Taylor Swift, celebrity feminism, and why “with great power comes great responsibility” isn’t just a comic book line
• White culture, “Midwest nice,” and the expectation that women should always perform “nice” at the expense of truth
