Thank you for finding this. Just read it aloud to my husband, whose grandfather was an Irish sports writer in NY. Then shared it with my sibs (we are half Irish) and my baseball-loving j-school roommate.
I have learned more about ICE activities in Erie from prayer vigils organized by Catholic women religious than from the Gannett-run local paper.

Crazy talk!
I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.

It is 45 degrees in Erie, Pa. Pouring rain off and on. Yeah, start a garden in a place where lake-effect snow will start next month. Make no mistake: We have dedicated community gardens, dedicated volunteer Master Gardeners, pay-what-you-can farm stands, to promote healthy eating. Winter is coming.

Leon Black being, for my fellow news industry nerds, the man who financed Gannett's merger with GateHouse Media, creating by far the largest U.S. newspaper chain.
NEW: We obtained a trove of emails detailing Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with the Wall Street billionaire Leon Black. The messages show Epstein demanding tens of millions of dollars from Black, insulting his children and advising on a settlement with a woman. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/b...

To all the disingenuous or ignorant people posting that "No Kings" is ridiculous because Trump never claimed to be a king, here is an official tweet from the White House earlier this year:
#Nokings in Erie was fun, festive, peaceful, inspiring.
No Kings Erie, Pa. I spoke about food insecurity and contrasted that with Trump's $1 million a plate fundraiser last night.
