FYI Amerithon run/walk across America update
WooHoo. I reached the Mighty Mississippi today and earned my River Boat Badge. I have less than 1000 miles remaining!
"The GOP has become the party of white nationalism"
This is so evident and so alarming! Republican=white supremacist.

"Dear World From America"
I love this post.
http://johnpavlovitz.com/2017/01/28/dear-world-from-america/
I have been thinking of sending written apologies to Britain and to Angela Merkel on the behalf of Americans. This embarrassment-in-chief is just too much.
I should add the Canadian Church members who were denied entry to the US to voluntarily help rebuild after hurricane Sandy, the Canadian nurses who can no longer cross the border to work in Michigan despite the nursing shortage, the 4 international bands denied entry to the US to play at the SXSW festival in Austin, and the beloved 70 year old children's author from Australia who was detained and hassled for hours before being allowed in.
I finally watched the movie, "Selma," about the civil rights era. It was such an important historical film, although it was difficult to watch all the violence. The vicious attacks on the peaceful marchers by state troopers in Alabama remind me of the North Dakota vicious attacks on peaceful water protectors this past year, and I think will go down in history the same way.
I also want to watch the movie, "Suffragette," but there is just so much bigotry and resentment and real-life violence I can take in a week. This administration has taken our country backwards by decades, if not centuries.

Today we are all Irish.
“Being Irish, he had an abiding sense of tragedy, which sustained him through temporary periods of joy.”
― W.B. Yeats
Irish proverbs:
The older the fiddle, the sweeter the tune.
When I count my blessings, I count you twice.
If you don't know the way, walk slowly.
