You know, Alex's response might have been something about you only serve as Putin's useful idiot.

I may have helped him draft his tweet response, just saying.

We got to address the suburban women problem because it's real.

Welcome to the suburban women problem, a podcast for red, wine, and blue.

Hi, everyone. Thanks for listening. I'm Amanda Weinstein. I'm Rachel Vindman. I'm Jasmine Clark.

And you're listening to the suburban women problem. Before we get started today, I just want to acknowledge that it's been a rough few weeks for all of us.

Whether it's the news out of Ukraine that's keeping you up, if you're me, that's what's happening, they continue to attacks on trans kids

and their families or even what's going on in your local community. The news has been bleak.

I just want to name that and let you know that if you're feeling a little overwhelmed by the news

in the state of the world, you are not alone. Later on, I'll be speaking to my friend Brad Meltzer, whose series of biographies

for young readers has been consistently targeted by book banners. And before we get to Brad,

Jen Cousins will join us to discuss how she's actively fighting book bans and has pushed back

against Florida's Don't Say Gay Bill on behalf of her non-binary child.

But before we get into that, let's all take a deep breath and check in. Ladies, how are we doing?

It's been a week. It has definitely been a week. So I will say at the legislature here in Georgia, it has been absolute insanity. We basically voted on all of the bills that are like the most horrible bills. So we've got bills banning trans children from playing in certain sports. We got bills that are banning certain things from being taught in schools.

It's literally like every single thing that you can think of, like all the bad stuff.

They decided to do it all on a Friday.

And I was just like, who does this to the weekend?

Like, this is horrible.

I know.

This is their MO, though.

Do you remember like the Trump, what, like the Friday night maskers?
