If the Lockheed Martin funding and the awards for Jeff Bezos at those yearly Human Rights Campaign National Dinners have left you with a pit in your stomach, let Dan Ackerman (@DarnArckerman) and Peter Ronson (@Parenthestein) fill you up with The News Never Ends's First Annual Takedown Takeout!
Special guest star Yasmin Nair (@NairYasmin) joins the TNNE crew for an awards show of our own and a roast of the HRC and the role the Non-Profit Industrial Complex plays in contemporary LGBTQ movements. No need to microwave these takes! They stay lava-hot!
Join the Galaxy Brain Club for even more show!:
