In the sacred stillness of Passover night, terror struck PA Governor Shapiro and his family. As they honored the story of liberation, violence tried to dim their light. We pray for healing, justice, and a world where every sacred light shines unafraid. #passover #RadicalLove ##NoPlaceForHate

These are the hands of protest—blessed and bruised.
The hands of prophets, healers, and holy troublemakers.
God moves through these hands—raising the lowly, toppling the mighty.

In case you’re wondering, it’d take 100 sermons at 15 min each—preached back to back—to match Cory Booker’s 25-hour record-breaking filibuster speech. We all know who the real hero is. #PreacherMath #Filibuster #SermonMarathon #UUClergy #SacredWork #SpiritualLeadership #RadicalLoveInAction

"I know your works; you are neither cold nor hot… So, because you are lukewarm… I am about to spit you out of my mouth." — Rev. 3:15-16
Corrupt leaders who stay silent in the face of injustice are complicit. Neutrality is betrayal. Justice demands courage.

As Audre Lorde said, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence; it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." 💜 Destruction that clears harm is love—for ourselves & the collective. #RadicalLove #SelfCare #Justice #HealingForAll #Liberation #RevolutionaryLove #CareAsResistance
