Completely nuts. "On Wednesday, federal agents seized the phones of the city’s police commissioner, first deputy mayor, schools chancellor, deputy mayor for public safety and a senior adviser, and searched at least one of their homes." nytimes.com/2024/09/06/nyr…

Someone needs to explain to me how asking legislators to change laws while in uniform isn’t a Hatch Act violation. rochesterfirst.com/crime/its-a-cy…

Appreciate this post, but how is Fairport a nightlife destination when the only way to get there is driving or expensive Ubers? Bus is every two hours and not super convenient.

No doubt kids have have been helped, but stats raise ? - 52% completion is bad, no? What happens to other 48%? - 1% reoffend in the program. What happens to kids out of the program? - Is JEDS is why car thefts dropped 61%? There have to be other factors. rochesterfirst.com/crime/its-a-cy…

I actually believe law enforcement expertise is extremely valuable when getting input on public safety policies. BUT When it comes to campaigns and advocacy, a democracy requires free, uncoerced speech. Badges, guns and uniforms are coercive by their very nature, which numerous

Watching US Open women’s final at Salvatore’s. When they were tied at like 2-2 a friend suggested we settle up and go to my house after the set. I said, you better order another one - I have a feeling this set is going another 40 minutes at least. I was right. Go Jessica Pegula.

Whew just grabbed a loose dog from running across Main. A neighbor has him now. Big gray pit bull. Friendly guy. Has a city license & rabies tag but no owner tag. Called 911 hoping they could look up where to take him but they have to send a crew. If you’re missing him, DM me!

“We can make all New York City buses free for just under $800 million, or $50 million less than what New York spent on the new Buffalo Bills stadium.”

I have loved the tag line “opportunity economy” from the start. Don’t love no Medicare for All and no universal childcare, and there could be more specifics on some stuff, but there’s a lot to like and build upon. Dems believe government can make things better.

"They do become desensitized to death. They do become desensitized by penalties and jail time. We live in a culture where a lot of these things are normalized. How do you combat that?" democratandchronicle.com/story/news/202…

Ugh, Gannett, to publish this without the other side... 🫤 It says the amendment gives courts the authority "to uphold policies that allow children to gender transition as early as pre-kindergarten, without the knowledge of their mothers, fathers or legal guardians." The
