• ‘Disrespected and desecrated': Brighton community denounces Neo-Nazi rally (wlns.com) — Residents in downtown Brighton were confronted over the weekend by a small group displaying swastika flags and shouting racist and homophobic slurs, including near the Brighton Veterans Memorial. Witnesses describe feeling that local veterans and Jewish families were disrespected and threatened, and some fear rising antisemitism in Livingston County. Community members say the same group previously targeted a local Anne Frank play.
