Here and there, now and then, the people say, “Enough” to a corrupt autocracy. Such incandescent moments in history provide rare, but important, glimmers of hope. Now do here! Vote blue!💙

Goodnight all. The senseless war-making and corruption of this administration often discourages me. But, on this first night of Passover, and in this Holy Week, I pray for a higher hope and a kinder and more just world. I pray for Ukraine. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

A blessed first night of Passover to my friends who observe!

“Give me your tired, your poor.
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless tempest tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
-Emma Lazarus
The inscription on the base of the Statue of Liberty.

Goodnight. Tyrants come & go & empires rise & fall, but God's Spirit still hovers over creation. This evil time will not last; its deeds will not prevail. There will be a reckoning! Faith is stronger than fear. Hope is stronger than despair. Love is stronger than hate. The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight all. I pray each night for peace, for decency and democracy. I pray for the brave people of Ukraine. I pray for truth; the Big Lie is a lie. I live in hope. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. I believe that this administration, with all their corruption, brutality, incompetence, misogyny and racism, will not prevail. There will be a reckoning. The truth will out. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. My heart breaks every day for the way my country has sold out democracy. We sold out Ukraine. We killed USAID, which supported democracy all around the world. The Big Lie is a lie l. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all.
Deep peace of the running wave to you;
Deep peace of the flowing air to you;
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you;
Deep peace of the shining stars to you;
Deep peace of the gentle night to you;
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you.
Deep peace of Christ to you!

Goodnight. This evil, incompetent administration has started a war without a strategic plan. It's going to kill a lo of people and damage the world economy. All because we have malignant narcissist as President. He's sold out Ukraine and he's selling out us. The Lord bless you & keep you!

If you're in or near the Berkshires of W. Massachusetts, come to our concert. We are singing some great American music: spirituals. Shaker music, George M. Cohan tunes, and the best of the Patriotic canon. Come early as we usually sell out, or go online and be sure of a seat.

Goodnight all. Prayers tonight for peace. For decency and democracy. For the victims of Epstein and transparency about the files. For the victims of war and accountability for our mistakes. For Ukraine and Lebanon. For truth. The Big lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. I pray for peace. All wars are horrible, but this illegal one is ill-conceived, poorly planned with no clear goal. Our country is murdering civilians, including children. When is enough, enough? Public courage is contagious. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight. What happens when you have the best troops in the history of the world & the worst civilian leadership? You get an unpopular war by an unpopular President, with no clear objective. You accidentally bomb a girls' school. Pray for peace. The Big Lie is a Lie. The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight all. Let us weep together for the world we have created, where life is considered cheap and the rich and powerful can flourish and float above the destruction they have caused. But let us also hope that there will be a reckoning. Pray for peace. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. Our nation has a serious truth deficit. We are seeing unprecedented lying & lack of transparency. Where is Congress? We are killing people & this administration cannot tell us why. Demand the truth! The Big Lie is a lie! The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight all. I weep for our world & our country. There will come a day when we will deeply lament our role in this tragic war. In the meantime, pray for peace & work to remove by peaceful means this wicked, cruel, and murderous administration. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight all. I often wonder what Trump's appeal is. He’s so openly corrupt and dishonest. And why do so many of my Christian brothers and sisters still support him, no matter how evil his actions are? How long will we accept this? I don’t. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. We are not powerless. Public courage is contagious. Our prayers change the world. We imagine a better, kinder, more just world. Let us tell the truth. The Big Lie is a big lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. We could give up and accept that the world is just the way it is, and can never be changed, or we can pray for and imagine a different world. My prayers are for justice, kindness, compassion, and truth. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. There are no good wars, but this one is a particularly bad one. It is unconstitutional, illegal, done without Congress or any conversation with the American people or our (former) allies. What is the mission? The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

If you're in or near the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, put one of these concerts on your calendar today. People love them, and they usually sell out. Yes, I'm singing.

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus! Happy St. David's Day!

Goodnight all. I pray for peace. This ill-conceived war is unconstitutional, illegal & strategically of little value, except to Bibi. There's no chance for regime change in Iran, but if we all vote for democracy, we can have a regime change here. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight all. Let us not submit to this corrupt, incompetent, lying and murderous administration. Public courage is contagious. We pray for faith over fear, kindness over brutality, love over hate, and truth over lies. “God will not be mocked.” The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. I took a baptismal vow to resist evil. And so I do. There is nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism. Donald Trump just spent nearly two hours lying. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. I don't look away from the evil that is the Trump administration, but I don't let my revulsion overtake my mental health. He and his enablers will not prevail. “God will not be mocked; as ye sow, so shall ye reap.” The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

I’m proud of the US Women’s Olympic Team for taking a pass on attending the SOTU address. They know. We all know about Trump’s literal and metaphorical assault against women. Once again, the men don’t get it. Sad.

I made this last night. Pretty tasty!

Goodnight all. You know I'm a praying guy. So, tonight I pray for peace, for decency and democracy and the rule of law. I pray for faith over fear, compassion over hatred, and truth over lies. And remember, the Big Lie is a really big lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!
