I ❤️ Pittsford! Always a pleasure to join community members, including Pittsford Rotarians, who are passionate about our community, to support Pittsford Youth Services at its annual Duck Drop. No harm, no fowl!

2/2 That’s the best reason to be respectful as people grieve. There will be plenty of time to discuss, debate, or bloviate about other issues. For now, be respectful to others when they witness a tragedy or experience a visit, call, or knock at the door.

1/2 A Thought for Today - When a horrific tragedy occurs, it is wise to wait at least a few days before rushing to any judgment. Many years ago, a member of our family got “the visit” (in other cases, it’s the call, the knock at the door). It is shocking, horrifying, and painful.

The Supreme Court Just Gave the OK to Racial Profiling

In a 6-3 ruling, the court has allowed ICE to resume indiscriminate and flagrantly racist round-ups of LA’s Latino residents.

Make Americans Broke Again - A visual clue, then when the Secretary of the Treasury doesn't understand that tariffs are a tax, a sales tax, actually, which is the most regressive form of taxation (used to teach that in 7th/8th grade social studies). (Sources: Twitter Post/Brian Allen)

Helping Make America Healthy - New York has joined California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii (likely more to come) in allowing access to the COVID-19 vaccine. Thank you, Governor Hochul! Leadership Matters!
