My hat is off to DaWokeFarmer and the job he’s doing. He is uniquely qualified to irritate the piss out of these ICE hoods. I’m glad he’s on our side. Keep it up, my dear man. Everyone in my family got ICE whistles in their stockings this year, so we’re doing our part!

Snow covering what, in summer, is a pond. Green-brown grass around the edges, and bare deciduous trees beyond. The snow begins the trees on the riverbank. Brilliant blue sky.

In New Hampshire, ICE arrests have gone up over 400% than during the same time period in 2024, but 68% of those arrested since Trump’s inauguration had no criminal conviction.

Anti-sanctuary city bills signed by Gov. Kelly Ayotte will go into effect with the start of the new year, but just how much impact they will have in New Hampshire is open to debate.

Anti-sanctuary city bills go into effect in NH on January 1

Both bills were signed with much fanfare by Gov. Kelly Ayotte, who made illegal immigration and anti-Massachusetts sentiment part of her platform in running for governor.
