.jpg)
protest in Northfield, MN (example)
ezs note: Here in West Hartford, Connecticut, there will be a MAJOR protest/rally by LGBTQIA+ folks and their allies. Connecticut is a small state, and West Hartford is centrally located, so folks should have little problem getting here. Go to the Blue Back square (West Hartford center) and look for The Cheesecake Factory (Isham Road).
day/time: 11:00 am, Sunday the 17th

ezs note: This afternoon, I discovered (quite unpleasantly) that Facebook had removed my post. I can't say for certain, but I suspect that a MAGA person had his widdle feelings hurt by my postings critical of Donald Trump. I put in a response, but you can help by contacting Facebook and letting them know that Emily's Virtual Rocket is legitamately keeping you informed, and should not be bothered by such cretins. Thanks.

national/world - The Most Important Thing I Can Do for My Trans Daughter

Earthquake hits Plainville, Connecticut!
Plainville, CT
Well, no, not literally.
But things might as well have been. Y'see, up until early November, things were pretty happy for Republicans. Then the earth moved. The Democrats moved over 5-2 - a supermajority. Things hadn't been this way for a long, long, long time.
Now, you may think of West Hartford as my hometown. But up until I had my stroke, Plainville was my hometown. I thought Plainville was gonna be a lifetime. But, y'know, things do happen. But I do check on Plainville on occasion.
If you are in Plainville, you might really want to check whether it's time to run for the state house or the state senate, especially if you have knowlege of local history. Who knows? Y'all might win!

Livin' in Connecticut - West Hartford
West Hartford, CT
Well, this is a change of pace. I'm not forgoing the trains; they are still an important piece. But I found out that Gov. J. B. Pritzker of Illinois stopped the "shielding" of various libraries. Now, when we think of libraries, we don't automatically think of items of great importance. But think of it - whether from Chicago or Prairie du Rocher, Illinoisans have an equal chance of information - including transgender folks. And it's free! Now from Bridgeport to Bridgewater, we have a chance to do the same. If you live in Connecticut, urge your legislators to do likewise. If you live outside of Connecticut, but have friends from Connecticut, urge them to join this fight. Thanks.

ezs note: If you live in Connecticut, I'd love it if you could take a few minutes to ewrite your state Representative and your state Senator to expand commuter rail between Hartford and Waterbury. Just take a few minutes to read the flyer that I wrote, and if you feel so moved, write these people a letter. Thanks.
