Thank you for this wonderful story of engagement and hope.Am I the only reader who had to check the relationship of Keith Elllison to Larry Ellison? After all, both prominent. In the headlines. Must be somewhere in their family tree. Alas, and gratefully, there is no link, just a similarity of last names. Keith Ellison is an American politician and lawyer, serving as the 30th Attorney General of Minnesota. Larry Ellison is an American businessman and investor, best known as the co-founder of Oracle Corporation. Keith is African American. Larry Ellison is considered a supporter and ally of Donald Trump. 'Nuff said. Keith deserves our admiration. Not only inserting the essential letter to the sign, but performing his duties in the service of his constituents. Larry is a jerk. In a friendship likely strategic, rather than honesty. As you, I'm grateful you met the REAL AMERICAN Ellison. The other one can go f%*k himself.
Don't forget that Keith Ellison was able to get an unfortunately still rare prosecution of Chauvin, too. He made the right choice of becoming MN AG. Can he do the same for the murderers of Good and Pretti?! One hopes!
Thank you for your salute to Lake Superior. However she faces an existential threat. A foreign mining conglomerate wants mining bans killed do they can dig a dangerous copper mine on the shores of the lake. Given these companies’ past behavior in South America it would only be a matter of time before toxic waste flowed into the pristine waters of this irreplaceable natural resource. Please help spread the word.
I’ll be marching downtown Chicago or right outside of Chicago in my village/suburb that is also having its own No Kings rally/ protest. 3/28/26. I’ve been to several in Chicago since 2016. It’s going to really be a crush, though, this time -I’ve been there when there was 200,000 - 300,000 people. I’m wondering if there actually could be more this Saturday…. In solidarity.
Great story. All the very best for No Kings this Saturday, hope it’s many, many millions. 💖from Australia.

This checks out. I met Keith Ellison once, too, when I drove to Ohio to knock doors for Nina Turner. He was there to help also.
Jane Fonda will be there also! We'll be out in the STREETS of SAN FRANCISCO!
BRILLIANT! Absofuc%in, certifiably genius! Poetry in motion!
