Inscription on the Kennedy Center - here’s one with meaning.

Five years ago we transitioned to an administration that restored dignity, credibility, diplomacy, strengthened global alliances, soft diplomacy and aid - five years later we recovered from Jan 6 insurrection, initiated threats on our cities and on Greenland, Venezuela— is this the progress we want?

Orwell’s Animal Farm, also a metaphor- “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" — the pigs betrayed ideals, to create a new oppressive, cruel, class system-corrupting the goals of equality to support and justify elite privilege. Painfully reflective of present experience.

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” “And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed–if all records told the same tale–then the lie passed into history and became truth.” Orwell, 1984 (‘Party’-totalitarianism)

Happy 4th of July - using words from others to capture the celebration of freedom, independence, founding principles on which our Nation was founded. One more quote . . . “This country of immigrants, religious refugees, outcasts and dreamers has come a long way. Let's keep going." - Ellen DeGeneres

Trump touts trade deal with UK PM Starmer at G7. Trump states standing beside Starmer, that the deal “produces a lot of jobs, a lot of income. . . just signed it, and it’s done. . . we have our trade agreement with the European Union” - A cognitive hiccup for sure! (Photo: Reuters)

From Les MIs — “Will you join in our crusade? Who will be strong and stand with me? Beyond the barricade Is there a world you long to see? Then join in the fight that will give you the right to be free.” The ‘barricade’ is strong, our voices loud, the future — our responsibility 👍🏻✊🏻#NoKings

Bansky captures not only the content of what is happening to the U.S., but how it feels

Maybe money can buy a president, but it’s looking like money can’t buy a state supreme justice election‼️

“I rise tonight because to be silent at this moment of national crisis would be a betrayal, and because at stake in this moment is nothing less than everything that makes us who we are.” Senator Cory Booker - 24+ hour Congressional speech

Sent to me by a colleague in Bosnia-Herzegovina - as much as many of us are appalled and mystified as to how this could happen, people around the world areas well.

An Irish proverb/saying for troubling political times and some advice for Trump/Musk . . . “May you have the hindsight to know where you’ve been, the foresight to know where you are going, and the insight to know when you have gone too far.”

Dear Democrats - our government is broken. Please do not endorse the carnage by voting for a CR that you do not , in good conscience, support. Stand strong and demand bipartisan dialogue - vote to support your constituents, your moral compass. A shut down is pretty much what we have — it’s broken!

It’s okay not to be okay with the actions of Trump/Musk, but it is not okay to be silent. • Call/email your senators and rep (find them at www.congress.gov/members/find...) • Include them in your social media posts using hyperlinks e.g., @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @newhouse.house.gov

Tonight the GOP senate members revealed their cowardness and their ability to ignore character concerns and needed qualifications and for Secretary of Defense. They have jeopardized the security of our Nation and our armed forces, and openly pledged their subservience and fealty to Trump.

Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde - in an environment of anger, threat, and indifference, she speaks of mercy, acceptance, kindness and understanding. Her words shared her concern, a concern that many feel. It is comforting to see such compassion in a political arena that is so caustic.

Listening to Johnson’s speech as newly-elected Speaker of the119th Congress as he quoted Jefferson. For Jefferson, words with meaning and reverence; for Johnson, vacuous discourse and disingenuous.
