Why are Quakers always at protests?
From campaigns for climate justice to protests against war, @rhiannonbookgeek.bsky.social Grant takes a look at why it's quite common to see Quakers marching with a banner.

“So, multimillionaire Rod Stewart, what was it that attracted you so much to the Reform Party which plans to wipe out UK tax for multimillionaires?”
Cat Eccles, Labour MP for Stourbridge, writes about why she still cannot support the government's plans for disability benefit cuts, even with concessions which will mean current claimants are protected

The increasing normalisation of nuclear weapons is deeply dangerous & sends message to all other countries that security depends on acquiring weapons of mass destruction. Oh & the bombs are owned & use controlled by US alone. What could possibly go wrong?

“We believe that genocide & mass displacement are underway in the actions of the Israeli government & its military towards the population of Gaza”
“We use this word with the aim of opening eyes, minds & hearts…in the deep hope that the actions it describes will stop”

If you are going to BYM this weekend then consider yourself invited.
When will Starmer learn that no matter how good his Nigel Farage impression gets, it won't save him from wipeout at the hands of Reform? Here's another idea - how about doing the work that's needed to actually make people's lives better? 🧵
Opinion from the FT's Editorial Board: 'The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.' www.ft.com/content/f5fd...
As summer in the Northern Hemisphere approaches, it is important to keep in mind how temperatures are changing 🌡️
Shifting distribution to the right ➡️ increasing societal risks from extreme heat
The driver? Humans... The burning of fossil fuels

A few years ago I tweeting out the math showing a similar conclusion to this study. @chrislhayes.bsky.social retweeted it and it ended up getting 4 million views overall. (My twitter history is no more)
The math checks out.
Growing corn for fuel is peak stupidity in 2025.
“If I die, I want a loud death. I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear.”

Angela Davis speaking at Penn State
Resist and rely on collective power! Angela Davis’ advice today to a Penn State audience when asked about the current conundrum of widespread complacency. As a warning, she quoted James Baldwin’s letter to her in prison “if they come for me in the morning, they will come for you at night”🧪
It's real it's my meeting house.
As a Quaker, JSO supporter and attender of Westminster meeting. Thank you. The state is loosing the plot, we must remain focused and know that if they weren't feeling the heat they wouldn't do this. First they laugh, then the abuse you, then you win. Feels like a long way off but we will get there.
Met police raiding a Quaker meeting house is a raid on a place of worship.
Arresting 6 women for attending a meeting is a raid on our right to assembly.
The media silence is deafening.
Doomer adjacent.
Looks like you got under their skin, just not.... 👏
Hey so yesterday Thames Water asked us to remove all photos of our visit to their HQ from our website, and the whole internet, by 5pm.
We would like to ask Chris Weston, on the record, to remove all the shit from our waterways.
How about by 5pm today Chris?
ICYMI: “As of 2022, French car advertisements will be mandated to include messaging encouraging would-be drivers to choose less polluting alternatives…advertisers will have 3 options:”
- Consider carpooling
- For day-to-day use, take public transport
- For short trips, opt for walking or cycling
An intriguing, powerful new tactic on the frontline against polluters - citizen's arrest. This well-considered action, based on sound legal principles, requires police to review factual dossiers with evidence of wrongdoing. Activists doing what politicians should ✊️👏💚 #citizensarrest #thameswater
