Reply to comment by widget_fucker in Portsmouth pushes back on overnight wave of hateful graffiti targeting Temple, businesses by twosunsyzygy

NSC-131 (a active neo-nazi/white nationalist organization) has had active demonstrations in the last two year around the Seacoast. Last year there put banner along I-95, had a protest with a dozen or more people at the Repertoire in Portsmouth and one at the Kittery Trading Post, they also distributed pamphlets and left racist papers over minority own business and homes. So, there is very much an active neo-nazi group in the area and it has a pretty good handle of where minorities work and live in our communities. The majority of people might choose to ignore, see it as something in isolation, or dismiss this, but as a member of a racial minority (I'm hispanic) we tend to be very vigilant and aware of these types of incidents. To most it just doesn't register or might seem off but to us is a day-to-day aggression and moments like these is when the rest of our community gets to see what we deal with. Not to say they are a cabal of well organize super racist and are truly just a bunch of dickheads playing brown coats, but these actions can escalate and have real consequences to some of us in the community.

NH law requires it to be scheduled before anyone else (for both parties). That hasn't changed.

The DNC has voted to endorse a different calendar. The DNC is a private entity and cannot control state law or when NH schedules its primary. But the political parties are private entities and they can set the rules for how they nominate people (e.g., the libertarian party does not have a primary, the DNC has its famous "superdelegates"). What the DNC has said is essentially "if NH goes first, we won't count NH votes in the nomination. Any candidate that campaigns in NH will be punished".

The Republican primary hasn't changed. It still still be first and it will still be counted.

NH will still have to schedule its primary first (by law that is very unlikely to be changed). Then those votes will essentially be ignored for the Democratic party nomination. Probably won't matter, since Biden is presumptively the nominee.

In 2028, when Biden will presumably not be running, and there is thus less need for South Carolina to go first and less fear of a progressive challenger getting early momentum by winning NH, that might change. Or, by 2028, control of the NH legislature might be in the hands of people who don't want the first in the nation primary and they change the law.

Reply to comment by Intru in City of Lebanon plans to open child care center to address growing need by NewEnglandBlueberry

Full disclosure I am a member of the Placework design team. It's very early in the pre-design phase of the project so a lot of questions are still being answered and a lot more need to be asked. But I've never seen the level of commitment from a municipality on a similar project like I've seen so far here. I can't speak to funding, that would have to go through the city manager.
