Name: Episode 03 - Fearless Bathroom Warriors by Supreme Leap Forward
Duration: 1 h 6 min 58 s
Description: Wherein we discuss our grim future under Trump's second term, the updated executive order on the Muslim ban (in effect 3/16), Gloucester County School Board v. Gavin Grimm, Title IX, the Equal Protection Clause, the intellectual dishonesty of conservatism, transphobia, as well as recurrent discriminatory legislation and all your favorite bathroom warriors.

Is whitelash enough of an explainer for the rise of President-elect Donald Trump? Is it rigorous enough to blame the people who didn’t show up to vote for our impending collective struggle under this administration? On this edition, we hear from Dr. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, assistant professor in the Department of African American Studies at Princeton University. Dr. Taylor most recently wrote, “From Black Lives Matter to Black Liberation.” We’ll be sharing a talk with Dr. Taylor’s insights on Black Liberation as framed through this most recent election.

Episode 03 - Fearless Bathroom Warriors

IF YOU'RE READING THIS, THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU 
 
My name is Phillip Jason Dade, and I'm a sinner, but also forgiven.
 
I am an evangelical Christian, the owner of a secondhand boat store, and yes, that was me in the news report about bathroom encounters.
 
I started talking to the boys at Chapo Trap House after I heard them mock and deride men like me, followers of Christ who have fallen but gotten back up. I did not reach out to them out of spite.
 
I wanted them to understand.
 
You see, I sell rudders and motorboards during the day, but I have passions outside of work. Obviously, God is number one. But passion number two is my awesome wife Klyeelissa and my kick butt little guy Mason Jesse James Treibart (the best 4 year old in the world ;) ),  Passion the third is, you guessed it, Evangelical EDM.
 
So I decided to send the boys in "The Trap" my newest song, "You Give Me Energy." I could try explaining my life, my journey, my triumphs, and my pain to get these guys to understand who they're mocking when they mock evangelicals, but they wouldn't understand it. 

the universal language of music is how neighbors can see eye to eye, though. It's been like that since the Book of Genesis, and it's like that now. so without further ado, I hope you can begin to start to think about considering who I really am, and who you could be.
 
Blessing throughout you, your family, and the world.
