Sam challenges Becky on cancer statistics, her early teen history, and sci-fi themed Jewish rituals, while Dave questions Sam’s political aspirations. We follow up on concerns about egging political enemies.

Becky does not have measles, but 47 other Washingtonians do. She, Luke, and Dan explore the predictive powers of woodland creatures, Christian-led bills in our state and others, creepy anti-drag library patrons, sneakers, oaths, and a church what did good.  

Becky, Luke, and Josh discuss how religious freedom, including freedom not to be religious, balances with secular law in the case of libraries, schools, parking lots, zoning, and medicine; they dissect how misguided zealots or conspiracy theorists are warping religious freedom to trash LGBT+ folks, literacy, and scientifically informed education.

Becky and Meredith discuss participating as Humanists in immigration protests and migrant solidarity events; with Josh, they pick apart racist/antisemitic candidates, “accidental” racist/antisemitic retweets, and being distracted by beauty on airplanes.

Sam, Dave, and Wes talk about the intersection of religiosity and immigration.  Sports and Scifi make an appearance. Call to Action: Help Detained Immigrants and their Kids.
