Goodnight all. You know I pray and bless here most nights. I pray for our broken world and the forgotten people. I pray for democracy against the depredations of the Trump administration. I pray for you. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. When we said, “Trump is destroying the White House,” we meant it as a metaphor. Until now, when he is actually demolishing the East Wing of the People’s House to build a gaudy ballroom. The Big Liar is still lying. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. We all teach our children to be kind, truthful and compassionate. What does it mean for our country, that the president is none of those things? We pray for democracy, for the rule of law. The Big Lie is a big lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. My favorite “No Kings” sign: “You know it’s bad when the introverts show up!” Public courage is contagious. We are not afraid. We will not be moved. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. A good day for democracy, but our dissent and peaceful protest is not a quick sprint, but a long marathon. Prayers each night for the vulnerable and broken among us. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

We had a big peaceful “No Kings” protest on the Common in Pittsfield, Massachusetts this afternoon. #theberkkshires

Goodnight. I watched the Andrew Young documentary. I once met him: “I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future.” I pray for faith over fear, hope over despair & love over hate. See you at the “No Kings” protest tomorrow. The Lord bless you & keep you!

I don’t hate America. I love the idea of America. That’s why I’m protesting at my local “No Kings” rally tomorrow. I’m not a terrorist or “a left wing Democrat socialist.” I’m a 76 year old retired pastor & grandpa. Their assault on our democracy is unprecedented & unacceptable.

Goodnight all. The news is bad, but I try to not let the news own my soul. We are not powerless against this assault on our freedom. I sing, I pray, I cook, and I resist evil, as my baptismal vows promised. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. My wife, who gives everybody the benefit of the doubt, just called the Trump administration “sick puppies.” She’s not wrong. The cruelty is the point. We the people do not accept their cruelty. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight. When my heart breaks over our country, I look for signs of hope. First, the cruel administration is neither popular nor competent. Secondly, our resistance is growing. Because we don’t want authoritarianism. Prayers for democracy & decency. The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight all. Prayers of thanks for the release of hostages. Prayers for peace everywhere. Prayers for decency and democracy. Prayers for justice and the rule of law. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight When my son was a history teacher, he taught his students that what distinguishes us from all other countries is the peaceful transition of power. We all saw a violent mob that Trump provoked to overturn a fair & free election he had lost. The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight all. I've been jailed before for peaceful protests. But I've never feared that I would be physically harmed. This administration is different. They are bullies. They want us to be afraid. But our God says, “Fear not.” The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight all. How do keep my head up? I cook, I do yoga, I go to the gym, I lead Bible studies, I pray, I party with my family. I tell the truth. The Big Lie is a lie. Joy is resistance. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. When our government lies to us all the time, speaking truth is an act of resistance. Public courage is contagious. Prayers for democracy and the rule of law. The Big Lie is a lie. Tax the rich. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. The autocrats of the past; Hitler, Mussolini, Marcos, Franco, Stalin, also used troops against their own citizens. They gained power, but did not prevail because we the people have the power. And none of them got the Nobel Peace Prize. The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight all. I never imagined our military being deployed on American soil against our own citizens, but here we are. Praying for democracy, decency and the rule of law. We are not the enemy. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

When Trump's government shutdown happened on Wednesday, the Capitol tour guide was furloughed. This junior high class had no way to get inside.

So AOC let them in and gave them a tour herself.

This is what a hero looks like. 💙

Goodnight all. “The Madness of King George” is replaying. The President is not only mean and incompetent, he’s not well. He’s shut down our government. We pray for all the people who will be hurt by this. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. When it’s all lies all the time, it’s an act of resistance to tell the truth. Immigrants are not our enemies. Our cities are not hell-holes. Antifa is not a real thing. Praying for sanity and democracy. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!
