About this listen
Trigger warning: discussion of violence, immigration enforcement, trauma, and political repression.
In this urgent, off-format episode of Two Gay Dads, Jason and Nate step outside their usual adoption and family topics to respond to the escalating crises they’ve witnessed — from Minneapolis where ICE actions coincided with the murder of Renee (Becca) Good, to nationwide targeting of educators and communities of color. A former law‑enforcement officer, Jason recounts what he saw on the ground, and Nate shares practical steps their family is taking to prepare (wills, apostilles, emergency funds, researching immigration options). They unpack signs of authoritarianism, why civil resistance matters, and concrete tactics and networks (including Freedom Trainers) that build collective power. They also recommend podcasts and resources listeners can use to stay informed and take action.
This episode is a call to speak up, document injustice, protect your loved ones, and build the 3.5% movement of civic resistance. Listen, act, and share.
