#ChristenCommentary Ep 11: Liberty and Justice for ALL
If you value liberty and justice for all that includes trans people. Welcome to part 2 of my segment on trans rights where we go back to the basics: the constitution, the rule of law, existing legal precedent, and individual liberty to unpack questions of safety and fairness in sports and parental rights in youth gender medicine. These debates are still ongoing. The line needs to be the Constitution and whatever the lawmakers and courts decide needs to be applied consistently across groups regardless of identity. This is for anyone who wants to have a good faith conversation about emotionally charged topics beyond the internet media rage machine.

#ChristenCommentary Ep 9: Lawfully Enforcing the Law
Two American citizens are now dead at the hands of ICE agents in Minnesota. I am making a humble plea to my conservative friends and family to put their professed values into action. Please speak up against these killings and demand accountability for ICE. I believe this is a reasonable ask and one that aligns with your values.

#ChristenCommentary Ep 8: ”Be a Human First” with Randall the Dog
This week I have a very special and accomplished guest, Randall Susan Mandracchia, the family dog, who has important lessons about what it means to be human in a highly divided political landscape. Stress is killing us. Take 15min to laugh. You'll feel better. In case it isn't clear, this interview is satire. But the stats on political stress and the negative health impacts are very real. It's time to take our "political health" very seriously in this country.

#ChristenCommentary Ep 7: ”Costco Politics” with Dr. Jenna Gerdsen
In this episode the fabulous Dr. Gerdsen offers us a workable framework for a new kind of populist politics - one that's centered on finding common ground and working towards productive goals, to replace current versions rooted in anger, division, and violence. The first party to unlock "Costco Politics" will have an electoral monopoly for the next generation.

With the federal government under the Trump administration revising or deleting over 8000 government webpages and over 3000 data sets from the internet, not only do we have to do a lot of extra work to fill those information gaps and perspective gaps: we need to become keepers of national memory. In this episode I'm joined by fellow "keeper of memory" Kevin Durkin. Join us as we talk about and remember the things the government wants us to forget.
