Notice how this bigot bill from NH spells it out that trans women can’t use ladies locker rooms, but it’s fine with them if trans men use the mens room.

“He explained that the bill requires New Hampshire school sports teams to be designated as male, female, or coed, and established that biological men would be prohibited from playing sports designated for females and entering designated female locker rooms.”

Also I like that there’s an email address at the end of this where we can inquire about the support or opposition votes from the public.

This man got exactly what he voted for. And to demonstrate the trump delusion syndrome please read his sister’s quote & keep in mind her brother became a citizen 10 years ago. What does she think “immigrant” means???

From the article:
"It's not about the immigrants," Celine Atallah, Bachir's sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us."
After nearly five hours, Bachir Atallah says he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action.
"I really thought things would change after this administration, when we have Mr. Trump in office, things would change to the better," Atallah said. "Things actually changed to the worse."

Really? NH for pizza?

The "study" looks to be more about volume than quality.

I used to like Foodee's ;)
Then again, I also liked Skuffy's.

The party that pretends they need to save the children sure are GROSS. This woman is the wife of the rep who wanted to take so many classes out of public schools that graduates wouldn’t be eligible to attend our state universities.

“Bill mandating child abuse education for health providers rejected by New Hampshire House”

Regarding our past: "Americans would experience moments of unity … but its distinction has been its ability to withstand division …"

– David M. Shribman, "History Lends Context to Contemporary Conflicts," Conway Daily Sun, April 11, 2025

Shribman's hope is necessary, even as the U.S. history he musters does little to banish the very real specter of fascism we know from Europe.

This is cool. I don’t have kids so this isn’t for me (if it’s libertarians PLEASE NOTE: NH Libertarians as a group are pro pedo so AVOID if this is them.) But a covid cautious parents group sounds like a good idea.

I forgot how many things can be on a #NH town and school #election ballot. Still more boning up to do, and not a deep enough media scene to lean on endorsements.

Proud of my town's participation in "Hands Off!"

1000 people is about 4.3% of the population.

In dreary all-day rain.
