This week's theme is "It's early voting season, so go vote already," at #FightFascismFriday with @indivisiblelasvegas.org in downtown Las Vegas. Despite the fabulous weather, it felt a little slow today. So, if you're dragging a bit, you have our permission to practice some self care.

Today was the first day of early voting in Nevada. It was also the designated day for the fourth #nokings rally. Not coincidentally, today's theme was "vote early". I was at one of eight rallies @indivisiblelasvegas.org planned near (but not too near) early voting sites around southern Nevada.

For the first time in my life, my concerns over shenanigans by the members of one particular political party have driven me to vote on the first day of early voting. We're encouraging others to do the same so that in case of said shenanigans, time will be available to address potential issues.

There were some fireworks today at the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada. The topic on the agenda was the proposal for private gas power generation for new hyperscaler data centers in Storey County. For over two hours, literally everyone in Carson City and Las Vegas spoke against this proposal.

Mr. Weir's comments were one of the most tone-deaf messages I have ever heard from a public servant. Basically, after setting the bar for direct participation in the docket so high that none of the advocacy organizations in attendance could afford to participate, he complains that they don't.

It's #FightFascismFriday with @indivisiblelasvegas.org again in beautiful downtown Las Vegas. We've got tolerable weather, a few clouds, some good tunes, and some *great* energy from passers by. Once again, we're a block south from our usual spot due to road construction at Charleston and Main.

In addition to our usual signs and music, this week we also had a sing-along portion of our festivities. Warning: If the Cheatin' Cheeto isn't gone soon, we're going to be adding karaoke to the mix, and trust me, nobody wants to see that. Just sayin'.

Prior to Thursday's Clark County School District (Las Vegas, NV) meeting, two protest groups stood outside the education center. One believes that trans students deserve full rights and dignity. The other group believes that there are only two genders, and denies alternatives.

Tensions have been high at school board meetings for years, although that seems to have escalated with the election of several candidates who supported the Moms For Liberty platform. Recently, these tensions have escalated.
