The names of others murdered yesterday by a white racist domestic terrorist at a supermarket in Buffalo will be released tomorrow. We know Aaron Salter Jr., a retired Buffalo police officer, was working as a security guard at TOPS. He wasn’t wearing a ballet proof vest.
Is that where we are going from here? All the security guards in schools, stores, houses of worship, will need to armor up in addition to carrying weapons?
Here are the names of two other people whose lives were abruptly ended yesterday when they went food shopping. Screen shot about Buffalo shooting victim Celestine Chaney.Screen shot about Roberta Drury also a victim.

Between data scraping and targeted ads by marketers using data brokers - they have a lot of our info just because we are on social media or purchase something on line. Bought a bread knife for my mom on a website today. Seeing lots of ads for cutlery. My point is we have precious
little privacy left because we are plugged in, addicted to the places we tap into virtually. With so very much about our lives, loves, preferences breached, the notion of privacy is fragile. One of the last places we have some privacy is with our doctors. Although mine use a web

What to know what bravery and support look like? First Lady Jill Biden made an unannounced trip to Ukraine today to meet with Ukraine’s First Lady, Olena Zelenska in Uzuzhhorod. The first time Ukraine’s First Lady has been seen in public since 2/24.
“I wanted to come in Mother’s Day. I thought it was important to show the Ukrainian people that this war has to stop and this war has been brutal and that the people of the United States stand with the people of Ukraine” Dr. Biden said. @FLOTUS knows the importance of showing up.
Zelenskyy thanked Biden for her “courageous act” and said, “We understand what it takes for the U.S. first lady to come here during a war when military actions are taking place every day, where the air sirens are happening every day -- even today.” apnews.com/article/d22b40…
