U.S. flag burned at Hampshire College, 2 days after being lowered
Students had lowered the flag to half-staff on Wednesday, following Trump's victory, but the college intended to hoist it back up Friday.
Local Reaction to the Trump Impeachment | Connecting Point | Dec. 20, 2019

O'Reilly Sends Goon To Intimidate College President
Jesse Watters ambushed a college president by trespassing in his home. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Last spring, ambush virtuoso Jesse Watters of Fox News got into a physical confrontation with Huffington Post Washington bureau chief Ryan Grim at a late-night party in Washington. Weeks ago, he propagated a series of Asian stereotypes and outright barbarity in a field trip to interview people in New York’s Chinatown regarding U.S. politics.
And now he is officially out of control.
In a segment that aired Wednesday night, Watters ambushed Hampshire College President Jonathan Lash and, from the looks of the footage, stuck his foot inside the man’s residence as a way to force him to account for his actions. Those actions are quite controversial these days: On the day after the presidential election, students lowered the campus American flag, a “reaction to the toxic tone of the months-long election and the escalating number of news reports from across the country over recent months and years of hate speech, harassment, and violence against people of color, immigrants, international citizens, and Muslims,” notes the school in a timeline. On Nov. 10 — two days after the election — it was burned. Then, on Nov. 18, Lash announced that the college would stop flying the flag on the campus pole to prompt discussion and “focus our efforts on addressing racist, misogynistic, Islamophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and behaviors.” Protests have ensued.”

Empire of Borders: Book launch
Todd Miller, author of “Empire of Borders: The Expansion of the US Border Around the World,” in conversation with Thanu Yakupitiyage (350.org), Abraham Paulos (Black Alliance for Just Immigration), and Camille J. Mackler (New York Immigration Coalition).
Recorded at Verso Books in Brooklyn on October 19, 2019.
“Empire of Borders” is available from Verso Books:
(Due to technical problems, portions of Abraham Paulos’s and Camille J. Mackler’s talks are unavailable around the 30-minute mark.)
The twenty-first century has witnessed the rapid hardening of international borders. Security, surveillance, and militarization are widening the chasm between those who travel where they please and those whose movements are restricted. But that is only part of the story.
As journalist Todd Miller reveals in “Empire of Borders,” the nature of US borders has changed. These boundaries have effectively expanded thousands of miles outside of US territory to encircle not simply American land but Washington’s interests. Resources, training, and agents from the United States infiltrate the Caribbean and Central America; they reach across the Canadian border; and they go even farther afield, enforcing the division between Global South and North.
In Syria, Guatemala, Kenya, Palestine, Mexico, the Philippines, and elsewhere, Miller finds that borders aren’t making the world safe—they are the frontline in a global war against the poor.
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:
Todd Miller has researched and written about border issues for more than 15 years, the last eight as an independent journalist and writer. He resides in Tucson, Arizona, but also has spent many years living and working in Oaxaca, Mexico. His work has appeared in the New York Times, TomDispatch, The Nation, San Francisco Chronicle, In These Times, Guernica, and Al Jazeera English, among other places. Miller has authored three books: Empire of Borders: The Expansion of the U.S. Border Around the World (Verso, 2019), Storming the Wall: Climate Change, Migration, and Homeland Security (City Lights, 2017), and Border Patrol Nation: Dispatches from the Front Lines of Homeland Security (City Lights, 2014). He’s a contributing editor on border and immigration issues for NACLA Report on the Americas and its column “Border Wars”.

Madison Heights, Virginia
September 10, 1924
Eugenics doctor Albert Sidney Priddy, the dude in charge of the Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded, requests to sterilize 18-year old patient Carrie Buck. According to Dr. Priddy, Buck had the mental age of a 9-year old, and argued that if she was allowed to have children, this would be dangerous for society. So just so we are clear here, he wanted to force her to go through a procedure so that she could never have kids because of her genetics.
Wait, hold up. Let’s go back a bit, because this story is even more messed up than this. So Carrie Buck was the daughter of Emma Buck, who previously was taken away by the state from Carrie and her siblings when Carrie was a kid. Virginia confined Emma to-you guessed it-the Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded for prostitution, immorality...oh and having syphilis. So Carrie grew up with foster parents, who treated her like a slave. How did Carrie also end up at the Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded? Her foster parents sent her there for hopelessly bad behavior, sleeping around, and “feeblemindedness.” I’m not joking. Also, they sent her there apparently as a result of being raped by her foster mother’s nephew. Again, I am not joking. Since Carrie Buck was declared mentally incompetent to raise her child, her now former foster parents ended up adopting the baby. At 7 months old, that baby, whose name was Vivian, would also be declared “feeble-minded.”
So anyway, back to Dr. Priddy trying to sterilize Carrie. He first wanted to make sure it was legal. I mean, the state had passed a law called the Virginia Sterilization Act of 1924, which allowed doctors to forcibly sterilize patients who supposedly had genetic traits that would be damaging to society if passed on to the next generation. However, the law had yet to be tested in the courts. So the board of the Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded got it to happen. After ordering Buck sterilized, the board appointed her a random dude named Robert Shelton to be her guardian. He was the guardian of several of the institution’s patients and got paid for doing it, by the way. Buck’s lawyer was a dude named Irving Whitehead, who was a eugenics fan who wanted the sterilization law. Oh, and apparently he was also on the board, helping request Buck’s sterilization. In fact, he was good friends with Albert Priddy and Aubrey Strode, who represented Priddy in court. There’s no conflict of interest there! Whitehead made no effort to challenge the accusations that Buck was feeble minded, of course.
Shelton appealed the sterilization to the Circuit Court of Amherst County, who agreed the sterilization should take place. Shelton appealed again to the Supreme Court of Virginia, who also agreed it should take place. So one more appeal to the Supreme Court. By this time, Priddy had died and his successor, Dr. John Bell, now represented the Virginia Colony.

Video of 231 Platt Road | Cornish, New Hampshire real estate & homes
Established in 1763, the town of Cornish became a well known summer resort for artists and writers. Artists seeking studios away from the summer heat of New York City began coming to Cornish in 1885. This area became the center of the popular Cornish Art Colony. The home of the St. Gaudens National Park, which offers wonderful concerts on the lawn during the summer months, Cornish offers the warmth of a small, distinguished and picturesque community and is an easy commute to Dartmouth College and historic Woodstock, Vt.
A scenic trip to the White Mountain National Forest is about forty-five minutes northeast, while the NH seacoast lies about ninety minutes away. Historic Concord, NH, can be reached inside of an hour and the state's largest city, Manchester, lies only ten minutes beyond that.
Cornish is the site of the second-longest wooden covered bridge in the United States, and the longest two-span covered bridge in the world.
Welcome to the Admiral William Folger Homestead.
Rear Admiral William Mayhew Folger was an officer in the United States Navy. He served in the American Civil War, Spanish-American War, and Phillipine-American War, and briefly was commander-in-Chief of the United States Asiatic Fleet.
Meticulously maintained with 8 fireplaces and large, light filled rooms. This home brings back the elegance of Victorian country living with modern conveniences on 35 acres of manicured grounds set among ancient trees, overlooking pastures of grazing horses. Constructed of planks and beams milled on the estate in 1900, this is a building of enduring quality.
Cornish remains a quaint community, with no large chain stores or shopping malls, but is located close to towns which do, such as Hanover and West Labanon.
