A note of thanks to the coward who stole the Harris/Walz signs in our neighborhood.
This shameful violation really motivated me to get busy writing postcards, donating and canvassing for our Democrat candidates. It energized me more than ever to turn the page on extreme right-wing MAGA policies that strip women of their personal rights, deny climate change and promote disinformation with a daily fire hose of lies.
If you’re eager to help elect honest candidates who will put us first and carry the country forward, and end the toxicity of the racist orange relic, visit John Avlon’s headquarters at 71 Hill Street. You’ll feel good about your contribution to preserving our democracy.

Fight for Clean AirThere are areas of the country in which polluting chemical plants and refineries are concentrated to such a degree that they pose an extreme health risk to nearby residents. In one stretch along the Mississippi River in Louisiana, the air...
Out of TouchAs Bill Manger spends time justifying a future tax cut specifically for high-value properties [“Southampton Village Board Adopts Historic Home Rehabilitation Tax Exemption, 4-1,” 27east.com, February 26], he continues to ignore one of the most pressing issues facing Southampton Village:...
Long Story ShortIt’s been a while; it’s been too long. 25 words or less. We need something to lift our spirits. Bring it back. End of story. Nancy Greenberg Sag Harbor
