I’m on a training to be a poll worker on Election Day. Incredibly impressive how secure #voting is and how many controls are in place.

#NoKings Newton, MA First Unitarian Universalist Society in Newton members where I serve as Senior Co-minister. Grateful to them

Early voting really will matter! You come off of rolls for GOTV, your vote gets counted safely, and if the WH makes voting hard or dangerous, you’ve already voted. I’ve already voted. Have you? #VoteEarly

Please, please if there is anyway you can be part of #NoKings rally today GO. We need 3.5% of US in the streets saying ENOUGH.

every moment Trump is out in public these days is like an SNL cold open. This is happening right now

Nothing more satisfying than a worship service where all the parts fit together perfectly…nothing more tired than the minister two hours after it is over.

Every denomination head in the US must issue such a statement. @uua.org

The president of the U.S. Catholic bishops condemned the Trump administration on Friday over its plan to livestream the firing-squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan. Archbishop Paul Coakley, a conservative prelate known for his pro-life work, called the decision “barbaric.”

After ICE agents shot a man in the Bronx today, a call is circulating for people to mobilize to the hospital where the man was taken. Per NYPD an hour ago, “The individual who was shot…is currently conscious and receiving medical attention.”

Let's make #IAmJaneDoe go viral. You know what to do. #IAmJaneDoe because too many of us have been sexually assaulted by men who got away with it.

we’re running a discussion group about #Cornell at my congregation, and our text provider refused to send out announcement because we used the word ‘rape.’ The operator we spoke to told us ‘sexual assault’ would be flagged as well. But that group frat text telling men to join in went through tho

Make your own noise. Make Cornell University aware that you’re aware. Put some of the shame where it belongs. Universities don’t tend to put “brutal violence toward women” on their website. Everything is business as usual. Shake their cages please. I did. #Cornell #Pinks

Dear men: Your women friends, especially 1 in 4 of us who are survivors, are not doing well. If you had gotten the text advertising the gang rape, what would you have done? And if you are wondering if you would have taken action, think hard about what kind of ally you really are. #Cornell

Seen on FB: Hey Cornell University alumni, send your regular donation amount to a rape crisis center and send Cornell the receipt. #Cornell
