The Daily Signal - SPLC ‘Labeled Us Anti-Ourselves’: Gays Against Groomers Founder Responds to ‘Hate Group’ Smear

Jamie Michell, a lesbian who founded the organization Gays Against Groomers, finds it ironic and "hilarious" that the Southern Poverty Law Center brands her openly LGBTQ group an "anti-LGBTQ hate group."


"It classifies us as an anti-LGBTQ hate group, which is the most ironic and hilarious thing ever because everybody in our organization is gay and we even have a few trans people," Michell tells The Daily Signal in an interview at the Republican National Convention earlier this month.

NPR's Book of the Day - Stephen Graham Jones explores a new side of horror in ‘I Was a Teenage Slasher’

A small Texas town in the late 1980s, two teenagers on the outside of the social scene, and a curse for revenge. That's the setup for Stephen Graham Jones' new novel, I Was a Teenage Slasher. But as he tells NPR's Ayesha Rascoe, the classic slasher tale at the heart of Jones' book comes with a twist for both the reader and Jones himself as the writer.

Opening Arguments - Rap on Trial

Professor Kubrin joins us to explain what brought her to this subject, the history of “rap on trial,” and her ongoing work with the defense bar to push back against this problematic and almost inevitably racist practice.
