The Good Friday Agreement only came about through a heroic effort by so many people. A tremendous amount of forgiveness and forbearance was needed on both sides to even sit in the same room as each other after all that had been done to their people. But there they sat, eventually, and they talked, and they agreed.
Peace once seemed to be impossible in Northern Ireland. It wasn't. We've been at peace for 28 years now.
It wasn't easy. But it reminds you of what can be possible.
Things I learned today:
First U.S president to advocate for universal health care was Theodore Roosevelt (R).
Next president to try getting it established was Eisenhower (R).
Even Nixon (R) tried (unsuccessfully) to expand coverage for health care.
It’s only in the last fifty years that GOP has framed taking care of people’s health and well being, irregardless of income/wealth, as godless socialism.

"We don't feel the global average temperature increases so much as we feel it in our infrastructure, feel it in the economy, feel it in our environment," Dr Ashcroft said. >>

I’ve been binge-listening to Lost Terminal podcast. I'm a fangirl now. It’s fiction, but not. It’s a podcast, but feels like a film or book. Beautifully written, beautifully voice-acted. A gripping, immersive hopepunk journey. I feel like I’m in the story, living on post-collapse Earth. It’s moving, funny, dramatic. It’s the clear-eyed, informed, hope-ridden social commentary I didn’t know I needed about AI, climate collapse, degrowth, technology, solarpunk & community.
