Michael, you are really one of the good ones, the best ones. You gave up a weekend away to go to a rally? I do not like to hear that you feel guilty about being away. I know I always feel your support wherever you are. Even if you were within the boundaries of the U.S. I know you have people all over the country. And you would not be able to be everywhere. . .You do good because you ARE good. And honestly, there’s 342 million people here. We got this as best we can for the next 3 years. 😊 I will never get over how amazing the people in Minneapolis are. Incredible, inspiring character and courage. That viral guy that was being interviewed and just yelled out “fuck you!” off to the side mid-interview (at ICE? At police??), oh Lord I am still chuckling at that. . .

Your place is there, and you are doing what you can very well, and Italy also provides a wonderful respite for the rest of us, when we need a break. Beautiful article. Lots of Love, M

Thanks for this beautiful piece, Michael.

One of the jokes on socials about ICE coming to Milan, was " Portiamoli (ICE) a vedere Piazzale Loreto"- let's take them to Piazzale Loreto- which is where Mussolini was hanged feet upwards.

I totally understand how moving and comforting this demonstration was. The world cares aside from watching and together there's a lot we can do. Taking hope in this.
