#VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess
The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to vote
By Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.
"Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.
"The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.
" 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."

#NeoNazi demonstration outside #NewHampshire State House turns violent
by WGME Staff
Tue, August 5th 2025
CONCORD, New Hampshire (WGME) -- "Police are looking into a fight that involved a group of masked neo-Nazis outside the New Hampshire State House in #ConcordNH over the weekend.
"The incident was captured on video during a demonstration that turned violent on Saturday.
"The woman who filmed it says she was enjoying drinks with her friends at a rooftop bar when she heard a lot of screaming.
" 'Directly under us, giant black flag with a white swastika on it and about 20 or so completely masked and wearing red,' Aislinn Kaloe said.
"She started recording as the scuffle broke out between the demonstrators and a bystander who wanted them to leave.
"She says the man involved suffered cuts to his face and was treated by first responders.
"In a statement, [Republican] New Hampshire Governor #KellyAyotte says there is no place for #HateGroups or their 'repugnant and disgusting ideology' in New Hampshire."
#NoPlaceForHate #USPol #Nazis #Resistance #NewHampshireResists
One of the scary things about how much Americans hate disabled people is that those people work at doctors offices at sliding scale clinics, a woman who verbally abused me with hate speech because I wouldn’t lend her money works at a methadone clinic as the head therapist.
Nobody who calls someone a “welfare queen section 8 leach” because they’re mad that disabled person won’t pay their vet bill for their $5000 French Bulldog puppy should be a therapist at a methadone clinic.
Btw- if you know anyone who is or was a patient at Avenues in Concord who has experienced identity theft, I suspect I know who did it.

Last year at this time. Curious to see if #MountWashingtonObservatory breaks more heat records next week...
From 2024: The First #SevereHeat of the Year Sweeps Across the #Midwest and #Northeast
By Alexis George
Updated June 22, 2024
"New Englanders dragged fans and air conditioners out of their closets earlier this week as the first heat wave of the year gripped the Northeast. The hot and humid weather that arrived on Tuesday, June 18th, prompted officials to declare heat alerts as temperatures skyrocketed into the 90s across many locations. And the humidity only made it feel hotter, which caused the heat index to soar over 100 degrees in parts of the Northeast on Tuesday afternoon.
"We saw little relief from the hot temperatures on Wednesday as the heat wave continued. Temperatures across New England soared into the mid and upper 90s, with parts of the region posting higher temperatures than South Florida on Wednesday. #BostonMA set a record-high temperature of 98 degrees on Wednesday, which broke the previous record of 96 degrees. A new daily record high of 70 degrees was recorded at #MountWashingtonObservatory on Wednesday, which broke the previous record of 67 degrees that was originally recorded in 1995. The new record high temperature recorded at #MountWashington on Wednesday also fell a few degrees short of the highest temperature ever recorded in June and the all-time station high of 72 degrees. Here are some other records that were set on Wednesday:
- Millinocket, Maine, hit 97 degrees, a calendar-day record.
- Caribou, Maine, hit 96 degrees, matching its all-time high temperature. It also posted a heat index of 103, the highest on record.
- Bangor and Houlton in Maine tied calendar-day records of 95 degrees.
- Reading, Pennsylvania, tied a calendar-day record of 95 degrees.
- Syracuse, New York, tied a calendar-day record of 95 degrees.
- Poughkeepsie, New York, hit 94 degrees, a calendar-day record.
- Cleveland tied a calendar-day record of 92 degrees.
- Buffalo tied a calendar-day record of 90 degrees.
- Elkins, West Virginia, hit 90 degrees, a calendar-day record.
- DuBois, Pennsylvania, hit 80 degrees, a calendar-day record.
"The heat would not relent on Thursday, June 20th, as heat advisories and excessive heat watches remained in effect for parts of the Northeast. Temperatures were forecast to reach a scorching 99 degrees in #ConcordNH, and 95 degrees in Boston on Thursday. The excessive heat also caused some trains in the Northeast to operate at lower speeds on Thursday, as rail temperatures exceeded 135 degrees!
"Another daily record high temperature was recorded atop Mount Washington on June 20th, with the new daily record of 65 degrees breaking the previous record of 64 degrees, which was set in 2016 and equaled in 2020."
[...]
"The stubborn heat wave finally died down some by Friday, June 21st, as cooler air arrived behind the passing cold front. While this historic heat wave definitely made headlines in the Midwest and Northeast, on the flip side, a colder weather pattern dumped up to a foot of snow at some higher elevations in Montana and Idaho earlier this week, just days away from the summer solstice!"

Squeeze, Sweets From a Stranger, 1982 on A&M
Fifth studio album from Squeeze, this one including Don Snow, John Bentley, and Gilson Lavis alongside Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook. and featuring “Black Coffee in Bed” with backing vocals from Elvis Costello and Paul Young.
Lover the overlay flap on the front – “When it comes to Squeeze, they can’t be called ‘critics'” – and the illustrations on the inner sleeve.

Townes Van Zandt, At My Window, 1987 on Sugar Hill
Van Zandt’s eighth studio album and only one recorded in the 1980s, originally released on the bluegrass label Sugar Hill. I never miss a chance to pick up a Townes Van Zandt record in good shape.
Recorded at Jack Clement’s studio in Nashville (“Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa”) and produced by Clement and Jim Rooney. Great versions of “For the Sake of the Song” and “Gone, Gone Blues” and the title track.
My copy – via Pitchford Records in Concord NH – is the 2022 Craft reissue for Record Store Day 2022 on blue vinyl.

Camouflage, Voices & Images, 1988 on Atlantic
Camouflage were a synth-pop trio from Bietigheim-Bissingen in West Germany (near Stuttgart). Voices & Images was their debut album and included “The Great Commandment” which was a hit in Germany and broke through to the US.
My copy via Pitchfork Records in Concord NH, has the gold promo stamp and a hype sticker listing the singles.

Guadalcanal Diary, Flip Flop, 1989 on Elektra
The fourth and final (original) full length from Marietta Georgia’s Guadalcanal Diary. Guadalcanal Diary is kind of the most underappreciated indie 80s band from Georgia – they weren’t R.E.M. or the B-52s or Pylon or even Let’s Active, but this is a great album.
It takes some guts to label one side of your fourth major label record “flop” – maybe they knew this would be their last?
My copy is a promo pressing via Pitchfork Records in Concord NH – complete with checkmarks on the back perhaps added by a radio DJ?

Heaven 17, The Luxury Gap, 1983 on Virgin
Heaven 17 included Martyn Ware and Ian Criag Marsh who had been founding members of The Human League – Glenn Gregory took the place of Philip Oakey to make Heaven 17.
This was their second studio album (and best selling album) – with the single “Temptation” being the best known hit.
My copy, via Pitchfork Records in Concord NH, is a UK pressing from CBS’s Aston Clinton plant. (The US release was on Arista and has a different track list).

Steve Earle, Guitar Town, 1986 on MCA Records
Earle’s debut album from the mid-eighties – note the proud “Digital Recording” stamp on the cover (where now you’d see “All Analog” promoted). Topped the country charts, and the title single made #7 on the country singles charts.
I think Earle’s really matured into a wonderful elder statesman of a certain kind of roots / Americana that is bigger than just country or rock charts – but you can see his strengths even through some of the 80s production. Here the label’s presenting him as some kind of John Cougar / Bruce Springsteen manque.

We have 3 nearly identical bathroom bans to defeat this year. These bills control the bodies + lives of transgender, non-binary, + anyone who’s seen as gender nonconforming. If we can’t use the bathroom in our workplaces + all the places we need to go, we are pushed out of public life.

So, the line is almost around the streetcorner for tonight's event with Jodi Picoult at the Capitol Center for the Arts... I keep thinking she'd make a great political candidate, as an author whose books have been GOP targets for banning, but unfortunately whenever I'd ask her on the previous site, I could never get her interested...
