I sincerely hope that SF do well today Mary Lou McDonald - Sinn Féin I have seen Mary Lou from afar over decades, at many events, and her party have actively engaged in high level diplomacy, over decades, to bring lasting peace to this Island. It can be said the party has 'skeletons in its closet.' However, what version of history have you been exposed to school? And in the esteemed universities? Covering the Age of Enlightenment from the great bicentennial celebrations out of Clongowes Wood College S.J. (1814-2014)? When Micheál Martin and Simon Harris TD ask where has Mary Lou McDonald - Sinn Féin been for 100 years, their conjoined statuses are aiming to create a homogenised innocence; their 'broad bandwidth' as objectively prosocial, a rose in the cross of the present and all reconnaissance moves of beatified neutrality in the lie of the land under FF/FG et al and PDs. Having listened attentively to the soothsayings, going back to Castleknock educated Paddy Cooney in Longford Westmeath, over 50 years now, I do feel old, before my time. Simon Harris TD has manifested some interest in this history as our our/my history, showing up for famine commemorations, earlier this year in Maria Edgeworth Centre right near the heartland of Oliver Goldsmith - born in Ballymahon, we think, a great heartland of FG. Longford Westmeath, Offaly etc, one should examine the CSO data from Cottage to Creche since at least the 1950s into the now. It is not rocket science, the trend lines of polarisation are plain to see in 'vectors of inequity, shapeshifting through time and space. The area has had its fair share of tycoon innovation, but also its share of enervation, and, much of the popular analyses on the former is just lazy and even dogmatic. This election has clearly manifested the linguistic capacity of more than just the usual fire branding of others. I particularly remember the Cosgrave era of downcast eyes; cool pose of detachment as opposed to the jovial Albert keeper of the third secret of Fatima. All very romantic "Clubs function by carving society into niches, to create a sense of belonging to something larger. Like the old guilds, many centre on professions" One side would talk the talk against the economists and sometimes living way beyond our means as FG payed homage to fiscal judicious prudence. 1960s/70s/80s/90s and here we are in 2024.

New Orleans has installed a historic marker under the Claiborne overpass to honor a once-thriving Black business district displaced by Interstate 10 construction. From the 1830s to the 1970s, Claiborne Avenue was a vibrant hub of Black-owned businesses, fostering community and culture until its destruction for highway development. The marker, unveiled with a celebratory second line, serves as a tribute to the area’s entrepreneurial legacy and a reminder of its resilience. https://lnkd.in/gdwv-TfB

At the Coolidge National Medal of Honor Heritage Center, we strive to connect our visitors to the enduring values of courage, sacrifice, and the pursuit of justice. These are not just ideals frozen in history, they are promises that we, as citizens, must work to fulfill every day. I am reminded of the story of John Laurens as a striking example of what it means to fight for a promise larger than oneself. Laurens left England during the growing political tensions between the American colonies and England to join the Continental Army in 1777. He served under George Washington and formed close bonds with Alexander Hamilton and the Marquis de Lafayette. Laurens was more than a soldier though, he was an idealist who saw the hypocrisy of fighting for liberty while maintaining the institution of slavery. Influenced by abolitionist literature he encountered living in England, Laurens challenged those around him, Washington included, to reconcile their republican principles with the moral injustice of enslaving others. While his calls to action were met with mixed responses, his courage planted seeds of thought that would take root in future generations. John Laurens reminds us that the rights service members have fought for over two centuries are more than just abstract freedoms. They are the promise of civil rights, equality, and dignity for everyone. And that promise didn’t end with Laurens or his contemporaries, it continues with us. Every visitor who walks through the doors of the Heritage Center becomes part of this story. You become the bridge connecting the sacrifices of the past to the future we’re building. A future where liberty and justice truly belong to all. The question Laurens posed to his peers remains relevant today: How will we honor the ideals of equality and justice that so many have fought to protect? We invite you to visit, reflect, and take these stories into your own lives. Together, we carry the torch forward. #MedalOfHonor #CivilRights #Leadership #BridgeToTheFuture #Inspiration
