Many thanks to everyone who talked with us for today's podcast episode about the lawsuit. I think its one of our best yet.

It was an honor to get to talk with Daniel, whose regular updates through @choosedemocracy.bsky.social have been a voice of reason and grounding in a difficult time. When I learned he was a Quaker, I knew we had to get him on the podcast!

A group of Quakers are marching more than 300 miles to demonstrate against the Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants. Organizers of the march say their protest seeks to show solidarity with migrants and other groups that are being targeted by the administration.

After surviving a fever in 1776, the Quaker formerly known as Jemima Wilkinson declared they had died and been reborn as a new, genderless person with a spiritual calling. Adopting the name Public Universal Friend, avoiding pronouns, and dressing androgynously, they attracted faithful followers.

Quakers condemn police raid on Westminster Meeting House Police broke into a Quaker Meeting House last night (27 March) and arrested six young people holding a meeting over concerns for the climate and Gaza.

🚨 Outrage as 20 police officers break into Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrest six. 🚨
This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.πŸ•ŠοΈ
