This is a consequential moment on the island of Ireland.
The Orange Order parade represents a return to the divisions of the past. After 28 years of progress thanks to the Good Friday Agreement, we have come too far to turn back now.
Today, I joined my colleagues in the Congressional Friends of Ireland Caucus in writing to the British Secretary of State Bryant, calling on the Government of the United Kingdom to cancel the Orange Order parade on Garvaghy Road.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The letter states that the United States is a guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement, but the agreement was reached between the UK and Irish governments and Northern Ireland political parties with no such US role or designation.

A frank and productive exchange of views with my counterpart on key issues like expanding the global supply of candy and toys and tightening sanctions against chores.

As a @MitchellScholar '01 (maths, @DCU), I wholly agree with @TrinaVargo here. Ireland's just landed a massive tax windfall from @Apple, an American company. 0.2% of that windfall could endow the scholarship in perpetuity. Well worth the investment.

Sinn Féin has easily held its 7 seats and is building its base in unionist strongholds from East Londonderry to Upper Bann. Demographic change + focus on bread-&-butter needs, not Irish unity, mean it may win up to half of Norn Iron's 18 seats next time. politico.eu/article/sinn-fei…
