1. In the wake of an insane week, I am hurting. I'm grateful to U2 and especially Bono for giving me hope in the face of adversity and re-awakening my activism. "We must not become a monster to defeat a monster". Here we are in SF last weekend 15K strong marching through the city to city hall. Even the cars we inconvenienced were shouting love and support. Love and peace to all the fans on this ride with us. #hope

  2. Happier moments from Dublin in November meeting Bono.
  3. I feel your pain, Adrienne. The Orlando tragedy is really saddening and something that shouldn't be happening in this day and age, we're in the middle of the XXI century, for God's sake! Nevertheless, things like these happen in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, etc almost every day and nobody in the 1st world countries gives a damn... That should get us thinking...

    I've modified the topic's name since Jo Cox and Trump doesn't have anything to do with Orlando and the title was clearly misleading.
  4. Keith Urban pays tribute to Orlando victims with U2's 'One.' (June 19)

    Indeed, ignored for a long time. I can understand a lot, but what i don't understand is pure hatred and violence.
    My prayers are with the family and friends of the Orlando victims.
    I'm gratefull for having a nice life. U2's music and concerts give me such a positive and strong energy of LOVE.

  7. I was celebrating my Birthday on Saturday, June 11. I did stop in downtown Orlando, which is unusual for me, but left before Midnight. I had to be a good 2 miles or more from where it happened. So I was in no possible danger. The club was very close to where my doctor's office is. A co-worker of mine knew six there who did not make it. My birthday will never be the same, as it has all changed for the Orlando area. I will simply make certain I say a prayer for the families involved each and every year.
