An income tax debate in New Hampshire? Well, not quite. A new column on the state of New Hampshire's stuckness and the GOP's demolition destination. #NHPolitics
A new column, on Ayotte, ICE, and the craven NIMBYism of the GOP. #NHPolitics
"Nickenley’s death cannot be understood as an isolated incident. It reflects a persistent and well-documented pattern of police violence that falls most heavily on Black people and unhoused community members." Commentary from Grace Kindeke and Tanisha Johnson #NHPolitics
NH House Republicans are moving forward with a new attempt to regulate teaching on race, history, and LGTBQ+ issues in public schools. On Thursday, the chamber passed a bill that would ban certain types of instruction and punish teachers who carried it out. From @ethandewitt.bsky.social #NHPolitics
A new one for me, on the issue that has been front and center throughout my 30-year journalism career in New Hampshire, with no progress to speak of. #NHPolitics
Remembered seeing Jesse Jackson as a student at UMaine but had a hard time pinning down the date. Finally found it in a partial Maine Campus article in the digital archives. April 23, 1991. That last quote hits hard given where we are now.
A new column from me, on the coming Romney-ization of MAGA-enabling Republicans and why the redemption arc toward the center-right still leaves N.H. and the nation in a bad (and familiar) spot. #NHPolitics
A new one from me, on the old economic myth that still forms the policy foundation of the New Hampshire GOP. #NHPolitics
Here’s a new one from me, which took shape yesterday with an early morning text to my mom. I’m trying to understand why life seems harder for families now, in so many ways, than 60 years ago. Here’s where I landed. #NHPolitics
Federal immigration officers shot a third Minnesotan in as many weeks, according to video posted to social media and confirmed in a post by Gov. Tim Walz. From @madisonmcvan.bsky.social and @michellemgriff.bsky.social via @minnesotareformer.com
Being documented vs. undocumented is a spectrum. Lots of the people being detained and deported by ICE have permission to be in the U.S. — pending asylum claims or visa applications.
It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
New Hampshire Rep. Kristin Noble's comments last week in support of school segregation reveal a lot about her world view — and something about the nature of the Republican coalition, too. #NHPolitics
A new one: In NH, politicians like to use the tyranny of averages to convince people their financial struggles are illusory. While real solutions require real effort and collaboration, tapping into a national reservoir of hatred is easy. And for the GOP, this is the golden age of that kind of easy.
Here's something brief I wrote on Friday morning about Renee Good. It's not a column, really, but something between a dream and a prediction.
Beautifully written (as yr. readers have come to expect). The "frame-up" reveals another sick aspect of current US society-- the insistence that people obey *self-proclaimed* lawmakers. I supervised a couple hundred OSHA inspectors at one time. We had enforcement powers, but we were not the police.
Excellent piece - and SPOT ON! There is no such thing as a ‘moderate Republican’ if they voted for this insanity and inhumanity and aren’t now renouncing it full force. Sitting back, pocketing the gains, waiting for whatever comes next is unconscionable.
Thank you, Adam.
An unofficial column: A presidential address to the nation. Someday, maybe.
A new column: "To be a modern Republican is to declare that there is very little you won’t endorse, whether through applause or silence, to accomplish whatever it was that made you a conservative to begin with." #NHPolitics
The Bulletin’s William Skipworth has won a Collier Spotlight award for his three-part report on abuse and neglect in New Hampshire’s intellectual and developmental disability care system. #NHPolitics
A new one from me about school vouchers, but also the politics of disconnection and how it enables sweeping cruelty. And, finally, how in such a world small kindnesses serve as an act of rebellion. #NHPolitics
"Individual disconnection enables large cruelties — and this country is more disconnected than it is divided. In such a place, there is nothing small about small kindnesses." Commentary from @danawormald.bsky.social #NHPolitics
"The idea, reflected in the state and national policies of tax cuts for the wealthy and simultaneous cuts to supports and services for everyone else, is that wealthy people deserve to keep their full wealth and poor people deserve to keep their full poverty." Commentary from @danawormald.bsky.social
A new column: How committed are New Hampshire Republicans to wealth inequality? From the infamous tax repeal to universal vouchers to “Don’t Mass Up New Hampshire,” the answer is “totally.” #NHPolitics
There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing.
