What can we do? My god, but calling and writing congress, who seem to do little besides write strongly-worded social media posts, is just not enough. Attending anti-Trump protests is just not enough. I am beside myself. I'm looking for actual suggestions. What can we DO? Our country is dying.

His name was Alex Pretti. He was a Registered Nurse in the ICU. Her name was Renee Good. She was a poet and a mom. I no longer recognize my country. The Great American Experiment that began in 1776 has ended. It has failed. The Roman Empire lasted 900 years. We made it not quite 250.

She was a young mother, just a year older than my oldest daughter. This is a photo of her and her six-year-old son. She loved her son, and he loved his Mama. She is gone forever because of a trigger happy goon who couldn't abide a woman who smiled bemusedly at him and didn't cower in fear.

Renee Good and her 6 year old son. Renee was murdered by an ICE goon because she didn't cower in fear of him. Instead, she dismissed him. Smiled bemusedly at him and said, "That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you", then turned the wheel of her car away from him and tried to leave. He couldn't abide that "disrespect" from that "f***ing bi**h". So he killed her in cold blood. Now this boy is motherless and the soulless ghouls in this administration are calling her a radical leftist domestic terrorist. Despite the evidence of our eyes, they double down on that lie. That's where we're at.

OK. Democrats - @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org @democrats.senate.gov, including my own senators @peters.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov - What, exactly, are you doing, or planning to do, about Trump and his lawless administration? Public criticism and campaign messaging don't count.

I tweeted early I this 2nd Trump admin (or maybe my dog did, I don’t remember) that I was disappointed in my two Democrat senators @peters.senate.gov and @slotkin.senate.gov for voting to confirm egregiously unqualified Trumpy cabinet picks. Since then, much has happened - none of it good. 1/

Things that I think are so true that they cannot be refuted by reasonable humans: 1. Charlie Kirk was not a good person. He was hateful, cruel-minded, and hypocritical. 2. Being a shitty person, a hateful person, a cruel-minded person, a hypocritical person should not carry the death penalty.

#Ireland #IrelandTrip #Travel Day 14 1. Killybegs Harbor (en route to Brú na Málaínn Bíge, Co. Donegal) 2. An Trá Bhán (Silver Strand), Málaínn Bíge Standing stones: 3. Glencolmcille Turas Cholmcille Stad 9, Clo'n Aoineach (The stone of the gathering) 4. Glencolmcille Turas Cholmcille Stad 2

Located on the beautiful rugged Slieve League peninsula, Glencolumbkille has a history in stone going back over 5,000 years. The Turas (pilgrimage/journey) dates back to the early Christian period and takes place each year on the 9th of June. There are 15 stations on the Turas and some of these stations are pre-christian sites.
This standing stone is station 9 on the pilgrimage route. It is a holed pillar stone decorated on the north-west face. There are three circular motifs, connected by an incised gutter. The circle at the top is the width of the stone and inside it is an equal armed geometric cross. The perforation is in the center of the cross. Traditionally, engaged couples would stand one either side of the stone and entwine their fingers through the hole. This was a symbol of their engagement and the ceremony would be watched by a large gathering of people (Aonach). Here the pilgrim circles the cairn three times whilst praying. They would then put their back to the 6-foot-tall pillar stone and renounce the world, the flesh and the devil.

The approximately 1.85 m tall schist pillar stone is beautifully decorated on both sides. The eastern side bares rectilinear patterns while the western side patterns are slightly more freeform. At the base of the pillar stone are the remains of a Leacht, a dry stone altar. The prominence of this outcrop suggests it may have been a sacred place to pagans. It was probably Christianised with the addition of this pillar stone.

#Ireland #IrelandTrip #Travel Day 13 1. Dolmen tomb at Carrowmore (An Cheathrú Mhór) Megalithic Cemetery on the Coolera (Cúil Íorra) Peninsula, Co. Sligo 2. Carrowmore Tomb No. 7, aka "The Kissing Stone", a classic open-air passage grave 3. Glencar Waterfall, Co. Leitrim 4. The road from Glencar

Dolmen tomb (ring of several rocks topped by a larger lintel rock) in a green field. In the background can be seen Ben Bulben Mountain.

Carrowmore (Irish: An Cheathrú Mhór, 'the great quarter') is a large group of megalithic monuments on the Coolera Peninsula to the west of Sligo, Ireland. They were built in the 4th millennium BC, during the Neolithic (New Stone Age). There are thirty surviving tombs, making Carrowmore one of the largest clusters of megalithic tombs in Ireland, and one of the 'big four' along with Carrowkeel, Loughcrew and Brú na Bóinne. Carrowmore is the heart of an ancient ritual landscape which is dominated by the mountain of Knocknarea to the west. It is a protected National Monument.

It is believed that the Carrowmore monuments were built by a colony of very early farmers who arrived in Ireland, most likely from the Carnac region in west France, arriving here by about 4150 BC.

The Kissing Stone is a classic "tertre", an early open air passage grave. A complete circle of thirty-two large boulders, measuring thirteen meters in diameter surrounds platform supporting the monument. The platform here is scarped or scraped into the side of the hill. The inner circle of smaller stones eight and a half meters in diameter, indicates that the monument was free-standing, and was never covered with a cairn. The circle containing a raised earthen platform or tertre within the boulder ring is a common design feature consistantly used in the construction of the Carrowmore monuments.

The impressively graceful capstone is huge, and balances effortlessly upon the points of three upright chamber stones. The five sided chamber is a spacious area compared to most of the other Carrowmore dolmens. The entrance opens eastwards, aligned, according to Frank Prendergast, towards the equinox sunrise as it appears over Carns Hill four kilometers east of Carrowmore. All of the monuments at Carrowmore function individually as sundials, with the capstones projecting shadows onto the boulder circles and inner rings or circles.

Glencar Waterfall, a 50-foot high cascade of rushing water tumbling gracefully into a pool surrounded by lush greenery.

Where the wandering water gushes
From the hills above Glen-Car,
In pools among the rushes
That scarce could bathe a star,
We seek for slumbering trout
And whispering in their ears
Give them unquiet dreams;
Leaning softly out
From ferns that drop their tears
Over the young streams.
Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.
- from "The Stolen Child" by William Butler Yeats

#Ireland #IrelandTrip #Travel Day 12 1. Morning at Ar mBriongloid Bed and Breakfast, Keel, Achill Island, Co. Mayo 2. And this, my friends, is what is known as a Full Irish Breakfast. 3. The deserted village at Slievemore mountain. 4. Keel Strand (aka Trawmore Beach)

Full Irish Breakfast: Fried eggs, "bacon" (aka in the US as Canadian bacon), sausage, tomatoes, potatoes, black and white "pudding", beans, juice, coffee or tea. I admit being taken aback by beans at breakfast. And, public service announcement: American and Irish understandings of what constitutes "pudding" diverge significantly. Everything, however, was delicious.

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment. I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face. And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.
