Hi Neighbor!
I’ve been navigating something tricky with one of my daughters this summer, and it’s taking up a lot of time and headspace. Sometimes I realllly want to talk about it and other times I’d rather debate the state of Tom Cruise’s face (does he even age?!?) and whether JLo and Ben are truly in love. I should probably go to therapy or meditate, but I can’t summon the motivation.

NEIGHBORS SAY NO TO HATE!
According to officials, several people waved antisemitic signs over a bridge last weekend near Valley Forge National Historic Park. During a supervisors’ meeting Monday night it was revealed that that Nazi SS and other anti-Semitic signs were waved over the bridge, following several incidents of Nazi symbols painted in Chesterbrook and other locals.
Statement from PA. Representative Melissa Shusterman:
"This past weekend Nazis shamefully attempted to intimidate and harass residents in Tredyffrin Township near Valley Forge National Historical Park. It's disturbing that in recent months, we have seen an uptick of similar activity in both Chesco and Delco - hateful leaflets, flags, and graffiti polluting our neighborhoods. I am very thankful that our strong-knit community has been outspoken on this issue and will not tolerate such hatred and bigotry."
A resolution was passed from Tredyffrin Township Supervisors. Read the full resolution here.
