In his humility and his gestures at once simple and profound – embracing the sick, ministering to the homeless, washing the feet of young prisoners – he shook us out of our complacency and reminded us that we are all bound by moral obligations to God and one another. <br/><br/>Today, Michelle and I mourn with everyone around the world – Catholic and non-Catholic alike – who drew strength and inspiration from the Pope’s example. May we continue to heed his call to “never remain on the sidelines of this march of living hope.”<br/> <img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GpD1TGvWgAAJAx0.jpg"> <br/> 2025-04-21T12:46:31Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsrh2xv3pan3ft0t0kczx9y7e9m94knektg8l2y7fmfjud0ylwfxkszypt9tr8s47kjmmrqkl66xkkc8l8pvy3k32md8wm8lwr9z2d9rexzudddd8e I always look forward to sharing my annual list of favorite books, movies, and music.

So we commit to a system of rules that helps us peacefully resolve our disputes and try to cultivate habits that encourage us to not only tolerate each other but also join in collective action.<br/> <img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GeFbs4lXQAACIDQ.jpg"> <br/> 2024-12-06T03:22:32Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsd2pvlmndnkurxmr2ajl6y4h69mgx54989aq4plj9nt2235wj4gsczypt9tr8s47kjmmrqkl66xkkc8l8pvy3k32md8wm8lwr9z2d9rexzuq2cuu6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0j45clk8z3dspwmv0syykz8snt6xjet3u6dzz0sqxkjyah3unvhcjmt0cq'>nevent1q…t0cq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I’m convinced if we want democracy as we understand it to survive, then we’re all going to have to work towards a renewed commitment to pluralism. The alternative is what we’ve seen here in the U.S. and in many democracies around the world – not just gridlock and public cynicism, but an increasing willingness on the part of politicians and their followers to violate democratic norms, use the power of the state to target critics, journalists or political rivals and even resort to violence in order to gain and hold on to power. 2024-12-06T03:22:32Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsd8024ss2nhlm3fur2h08tqnwzqjmndeea5fej4xtdrxhaw5aectqzypt9tr8s47kjmmrqkl66xkkc8l8pvy3k32md8wm8lwr9z2d9rexzuf5jdls How it started.
