Urgent - #VirginiaRedistricting. The GOP is trying to confound VA voters over the redistricting referendum.They just mailed this out to residents. I'll follow with a link to an article confirming this GOP BS! Share this with your Virgina friends. Early voting starts today! Who's paying for this?

Here is a copy of Senator Jeanne Shaheen's response to my calls and emails last week. Very unsatisfying, they are not going to stop purging our government with or without the CR. Get real, don't make it easy! #NHpolitics

Letter from Senator Jeanne Shaheen regarding the CR spending bill vote last week.

Apparently Meta is considering this LGBTQ resource info as spam. Can someone confirm this? Of course, we know what to do if they are.

A listing of LGBTQ resources Meta is has recently started blocking as spam.

Hi All, I did find a 2002 paper from Levitsky and Way Harvard U, (Journal of Democracy 11, 2, pg 61. April 2002) that has an accurate description what we are seeing. The collapse of the republican party is paving the way. scholar.harvard.edu/levitsky/fil...

Hi All, here is a photo from our protest in Concord NH this beautiful day. Good turnout for some great solidarity. I think we needed that right now! For some reason Kelly Ayotte, our governor, wouldn't come out to talk with us. Go figure.

Anti-Trump/anti-fascism protest. NH state capital, Concord Feb 5 2025. 400-500 attendees. Amazing blue sky, burrr 18F.

My daughter just donated some artwork for a wildlife rescue calendar. Thought I would share the November scene. These are animals representative of those taken in at the rescue.

Drawing of foxes celebrating Thanksgiving. Hand drawn and colorized on the computer. Love the wallpaper in the background.

It was my dad's. He's still going at 84, just didn't use it enough. For me it's still a work truck, sometimes it gets hosed off. It has a hydraulic dump bed, which saves our backs a little.

I see this Tesla at the local transfer site regularly and parked my 1986 Ford next to it Saturday. No contest, I'll take my manual transmission, crackly AM/FM radio and no AC every day.
