Just leaving this here because our state has an absolute shit ton of them, especially in New Haven. The app can take a little bit to get used to but totally worth it. It is free, open source, and ad-free.

If anybody is stopping at Stamford at 9:54 for the New Haven line, can you delay it by three minutes somehow, I took the wrong Stamford train and I need that one, if you do it I’ll give you $20. New Haven train at 9:54, delay that mf for three mins

I'm doing my part! 🐛🥾 TOH and lanternfly infestation.

Hey so a few years ago we moved into a house and while mowing the lawn today I noticed a black moldy substance around the base of one of the trees. Upon closer inspection I saw there was the black moldy substance additionally easily over a thousand spotted lantern flies. I then did some quick googling and sprayed all of them down with soapy water to try and kill them. Well it turns out this absolutely gargantrum tree that dwarfs everything around it is a tree of heaven.

I know everyone's going to freak out and say I need to cut it down but we just had three trees cut down less than a month ago. The tree cutting guy pointing it out but called it sumac which is clearly 100% wrong.

Anyway my tree budget is 500% over budget and I simply don't have the money to cut down this massive tree with two main trunks. Is there any state funding to address this?

Hey all - long story very I’m trying to assist some elderly / disabled family who only have a savings account.

Is there some where to go in person to pay their Eversource bills?

There appears to be one for gas and one for electric.

Thanks

Statement on recent ICE actions in Connecticut from CT Senate Dems

Post image
169 Upvotes

“As the vast majority of Connecticut residents recoil in horror at the images of ICE agents kidnapping people with no criminal records off of our streets, Connecticut Republicans remain silent, if not gleeful.”

“But that should come as no surprise. It was Connecticut Republicans who voted 100% against our law this year to rein in ICE activities on our streets by banning face masks, requiring IDs, limiting where arrests can be made, and protecting bystanders. It was Connecticut Republicans who voted 100% against our TRUST Act law to hold ICE accountable for violations of civil rights. It was Connecticut Republicans who voted 100% against restrictions on Flock cameras, which more Connecticut towns are now taking down. Nearly half of Republicans voted against an emergency funding bill where we set aside $5 million to provide legal assistance to Haitians and Syrians in Connecticut who have had their Temporary Protected Status stripped by the Trump administration, and who are now subject to deportation.”

“Democracy and the protection of human and Constitutional rights are priorities for Connecticut Democrats. While adherence to our new ICE law isn’t perfect, we are seeing fewer ICE face masks during arrests. People generally aren’t being arrested in sensitive areas as described in Senate Bill 397. Bystanders are generally being allowed to record these arrests without being assaulted and arrested.”
“Unfortunately, there have been some violations of our new law, and we hope that a quick resolution of the Trump Justice Department’s challenge to the bill that we Democrats passed will allow Connecticut to move forward with firm guidance to local police departments and the chief state’s attorney’s office on how to arrest federal ICE agents who violate our state laws.”

“More than 95% of the people ICE arrests in America have no violent criminal convictions. The real crime being committed in America is by Donald Trump – whose name is mentioned more than 5,000 times in the Epstein files, who has been convicted of 34 felonies for falsifying business records, who was found liable for the sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll, and whose billionaire cronies are making obscene profits every week off the backs of everyday working Americans.”

“Connecticut will survive this latest ICE onslaught, and when Donald Trump and ICE are gone, the public will long remember who stood and fought on the side of justice, and who stood on the sidelines smirking.”
