Thank you to the Robert Cantelmo, Mayor of Ithaca, NY, for this powerful statement and action relating to the Cornell 7:

"Given this appalling response from university administration, I have no choice but to declare a new policy directive and corresponding Common Council resolution, implementing an immediate moratorium on all student event and special event permits, including, but not limited to Greek life and other student group gatherings, until such time that the University conducts an accounting of its protocols to prevent and prosecute crimes of sexual violence and publicly releases new standards and practices to keep our community safe."

@LifeOfBean A boy after your own heart, Bean! I’m extremely pleased by your nonviolent reaction, as he will soon be of a certain treat-bearing age. Love you, handsome boy! 🐎❤️🐎

[LNJ Foxwoods @LNJFoxwoods]

My heart is 💔. Love you ♾️
No race, winner circles, Saratoga visits, and much more will be the same. I cannot imagine life without you. The industry you fell in love with will deeply miss your presence. No question FOXIEST won for you yesterday and WOOTZ today. 💙💛💯

[Diane Obusek @Equus3476]

@LNJFoxwoods My deepest sympathy to you, Jaime, and to your Mom, on the passing of your beloved Dad. Larry’s Legacy will live on in your dedication to Thoroughbred welfare, exemplifying his qualities as a true horseman. I’m certain Foxiest and Covfefe agree. Peace. ❤️

Laurence “Larry” Roth, who, along with his daughter Jaime and his wife Nanci, founded the racing and breeding operation LNJ Foxwoods, passed away Sunday at the age of 75. Roth had been battling cancer. @BillFinley3

@theTDN @BillFinley3 My deepest sympathy to Jaime and Nanci Roth on the passing of their beloved dad and husband. LNJ Foxwoods is the epitome of class and love for the horse in Thoroughbred Racing. Fittingly, their Foxiest broke her maiden at Churchill Downs on Sunday. Peace. ❤️

❤❤ ❤Remember Ben's Florida Lady aka Benna that we rescued from the Mclean, TX lot in 2025? She came in with 5 other mares that were all in horrific condition. It took quite awhile to get Benna back to health but she made it and is doing well today. The gray hairs are showing on her face and neck but make no mistake she is the boss. She loves her RF Retiree companions Romas Spirit and Broadway Bertie.

The video is of Romy and Bertie feeling their oats recently. We rescued all of them in the past from going to slaughter. Romy and Bertie were in bad shape when rescued too and Bertie was is even worse shape than Benna. None of them will ever know fear, hunger, thirst or uncertainty again. Every one of these horses served the industry but the industry did not save them. We did!

1978. Mientras el mundo entero bailaba disco, en la radio sonaba una voz que parecía un ángel herido pidiendo permiso para dejar de amar.

Nadie sabía quién era ese canadiense. Y casi nadie sabe lo que él sacrificó para llegar hasta ahí...

@notasdelsendero Not only is Gino Vannelli a gifted musician, he's also an empathetic person. The primary caretaker for his beloved wife of over 40 years, Patricia (Tricia), who fought neuroendocrine tumor cancer for five years, passing in April 2024. Gino est le meilleur. ❤️

[Notas del Sendero @notasdelsendero]

Esa voz era Gino Vannelli: nacido en Montreal en 1952, hijo de un acordeonista, y un niño prodigio que tocaba la batería en clubes de jazz siendo aún adolescente.

Pero el talento no bastó: para que lo escucharan tuvo que irse de casa y tocar puertas que no se abrían.

“I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.” Ezra Cornell, 1865. I would add, “In a setting of safety, integrity, and respect for all.”

To any woman who graduated from Cornell University, this post is directed to you. There are not words to describe my anger and disgust with an institution I was once so proud to represent. I graduated from the School of Agriculture And Life Sciences with a

this calling. Now, we need to unite and demand accountability from anyone involved in, prosecuting, or adjudicating this crime. No amount of wealth or privilege can override justice for destroying a life. This is what I learned from my studies at Cornell.
