New Hampshire Democratic state Representative Manny Espitia of Nashua was hit by a white nationalist group after he called out racist graffiti allegedly left by the group in the neighborhood where he was elected to represent.
On Friday, pictures were shared to social media showing racist graffiti on the Rail Trail in Nashua, including keep New England white and defend New England. Espitia and others blamed the graffiti on NSC-131, a self-described group of white nationalists. No person should ever be threatened because of race, ethnicity, nationality, or their identity. I will continue to fight against racism in our world. I won t stop because of Neo-Nazis. Let this be a reminder that #NHisnotInnocent and racism does exist in our state #NHPolitics, tweeted Espitia, who s also president of the New Hampshire Young Democrats.

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office says that school mask mandates are legal, in spite of pushback by some parents, lawmakers and school board members.
School districts and private schools are receiving calls and emails alleging that requiring students to wear masks is akin to forms of child restraint prohibited by state law.
The cited law, RSA 126-U:4, was passed in 2010 to prevent face-down restraint that impedes breathing on children who are exhibiting behavioral issues.
A letter on the conservative website Granite Grok that argues for the “right to breathe freely and the right to refuse medical experiments” credits the group Rebuild NH, formerly Reopen NH, for flagging RSA 126 in an effort to end masks mandates in schools. Some Republican lawmakers, including state Rep. Al Baldasaro of Londonderry, have posted about the law on social media.
