GUILFORD-The passage of the disastrous mega-bill. The opening of the detention centers designed to keep fellow human beings in cages, or worse. The flagrant use of hard drugs in the White House, and no accountability, from Congress, from the Supreme Court.
It does feel like it's all over, but the reality is, this is just the beginning of what will be an historic fight, by the people, to save our United States.This fight will be long, more than likely continuing well beyond the midterm elections.
Rest up, read up, gear up (metaphorically) as warriors. Sustained, prolonged, strategic, and unified resistance in many, many forms will be required, but the regime will fall and will crumble to dust.

GUILFORD-Some may say that the Trump presidency is threatening our democracy. In fact, we are no longer living in a democracy. This is not a political view, it is based on the actions of the Trump regime. If we no longer have a democracy and are moving into totalitarianism,
GUILFORD-Our family owes our existence to the United States, not only for taking my parents and grandparents in as refugees, but for the country's heroic involvement in the Second World War. My parents in particular never wavered in their allegiance to this country, even when ensuing wars and political...
GUILFORD-Zon Eastes, a multi-term Democrat serving Guilford in many capacities over the decades, including as chair of the Guilford Selectboard, has made his stand clearly known on issues affecting residents of Guilford and Vernon, without misleading contradiction.

On May 16, the Guilford Free Library hosted a meeting regarding the planned expansion of the library. Except for virulent outbursts by one resident, the meeting was cordial and well-received. In today's mail, town residents received a glossy two-sided mailing that not only expressed opposition to the expansion but called into question the integrity, honesty, and even legality of the actions of one of the members of the library board. The mailing strategically made no mention of where it originated,
Any woman - and there are legions of us - who has experienced sexual violence at any time in her life knows that the effects reach far beyond the psychological, creating physiological responses to retrieved memories and perceived threats that can be injurious to a woman's health. And any woman who has been paying attention to the statements and actions of the current commander-in-chief may feel these triggers weekly, daily, or even by the hour. How a self-proclaimed sexual predator...
Covfefe. I would be happy to never read or hear the pseudo-word again. Donald Trump's late-night tweet once again sent the media, pundits, comedians, and the general public scrambling to make sense of nonsense. Is Trump senile? Erratic?
