@disordershow.bsky.social I was just listening to ep. 143. It always challenges me and for that I love it for that. But Jason, you don’t agree with Gay marriage? I’m really struggling with that and didn’t expect that point of view from you. Can you elaborate? 😔

I’m neither Jewish nor Muslim. I don’t have a side here, except my humanity.
It’s unbearable to see the people who once suffered the Holocaust now see their politicians carrying out genocide against Palestinians.
All of this driven by Israeli politics, Gaza paying the price.

There's strong evidence that women's participation in security efforts makes countries safer.
That's why leaders in over 100 countries have taken action to further it.
One of them—who signed the U.S. Women, Peace & Security Act into law in 2017—was Donald Trump.
