We remember them.
When we face decisions that are difficult,
We remember them.
When we are tempted to compromise our principles,
We remember them.
When we recognize the dignity and humanity of all people
We remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength,
We remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
We remember them.
When we weep with despair for the world of war and conflict,
We remember them.
When we have joy we crave to share,
We remember them.
Remembering Paul & Sheila Wellstone, Marcia, Mary, Tom and Will (10/25/22)
At the rising of the sun and its going down,
We remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We remember them.
When the buds burst forth in color and the leaves fall from the trees,
We remember them.

1. Itβs still rumor
2. If Trump pardons Chauvin, he Can ONLY pardon the federal convictions - not state convictions.
3. So, even if Trump pardons Chauvin, Chauvin will still owe Minnesota the remainder of his 22.5 sentence. Chauvinβs not getting out no matter what Trump does.
Pope Leo XIV took the name of Pope Leo XIII, who lifted up the rights of workers to a fair wage, safe working conditions, and trade unions. He became the "Pope of the Workers"; Iβm glad we have another Pope who cares about working people. Perfect rebuttal for Age of the Oligarchs.
