Hi all, RIJBGC has decided to disband. Thank you for your support and solidarity.

Today, Providence is the least affordable city in America for renters and costs are going up for everyone. Together, we can make Providence a city all our neighbors can afford and where everyone feels welcome. Join our movement: secure.actblue.com/donate/davidmo…

Sending him somewhere he doesn’t mind going doesn’t scratch the itch hard enough for them. He must suffer

From tear gas attacks to violent abductions, we are collectively witnessing the mass-scale abuse of children. Young people are fighting back.

"Shah said ICE appears to be using these tactics in Minnesota to a 'more extreme degree than we’ve seen in the past.'"

They haven't left Minnesota. Don't listen to the mainstream news.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

It's getting cold here in Providence, and our distro fund is currently overdrawn because we had to buy more cold weather and harm reduction supplies for our unhoused neighbors. Please send what you can! 💸🧤🧦🧣☕️ Venmo: @rijbgc

BIG: FBI spied on Signal group chat of immigration activists CourtWatch, classifying them as violent terrorist extremists for quietly sitting in on court cases, as revealed in intel bulletin we obtained & shared w/ @samtlevin.bsky.social @us.theguardian.com. #FOIA www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Because of ICE, the Deportation Defense Network of RI demands widespread, easy access to virtual court hearings, conferences, and trials During the press conference, it was learned that ICE had taken a Superior Court intern into custody without just cause...

Hey all, here's zine about how to do Jury Nullification canvassing and outreach. It's easy to just tell people they can acquit as jurors, but our goal should be to effectively reach the right people AND get them successfully selected as jurors. drive.google.com/file/d/1ENK2...

With the upcoming reduction in services, we expect to find more and more people in need in the coming weeks. We (and our friends downtown!) would appreciate any support you can send our way so we can keep our distro going strong through the winter (see below)!

Both RI senators voted to betray not just trans people, but all Americans who enjoy not having the military deployed against them

“I have advocated, and I still advocate revolutionary change. I advocate an end to capitalist exploitation, the abolition of racist policies, the eradication of sexism, and the elimination of political repression. If that is a crime, then I am totally guilty.” - Assata Shakur

This is a great example of someone to not listen to. Never sign up for a protest, don't photograph or record your (or anyone's!) face, don't share that you were present, and do your best to hide your identity. A protest is a show of force, not a marketing opportunity for your personal brand!

John Brown's commitment to action over rhetoric in pursuit of justice is still striking fear into the hearts of white supremacists over a century after his death His soul is marching on!

Every week, RIJBGC and our friends go out downtown in Providence to distribute survival and comfort supplies to our unhoused siblings. We are running low on some supplies (especially socks and body wipes), and would appreciate help stocking up for winter (hats, gloves, blankets) if you can!

We are legitimately looking at a genocide against trans people in the United States. That's not hyperbole. The Department of Justice isn't talking about disarming us so that we can all live quietly in peace. There is still time to stop this, but only if cis people care enough.

A new sticker! (All the money we raise selling things goes to fund our weekly community relief distro) www.etsy.com/listing/4364...

Tell the Trump admin's gun grabbers to go pound sand and help us raise money for our community relief distro all at once www.etsy.com/listing/1387...

Can we please understand what is happening? He is disarming us as a prelude to our extermination. And making us mentally unfit to own firearms as a matter of law will exclude us from all manner of legal rights. www.cnn.com/2025/09/04/p...

Talk to a chatbot if you find yourself in mental crisis. No wait, call 911 & have the cops shoot you. No wait, call 988 & have a social worker lock you in the psych ward. The options are shit & if the culture didn’t hate the mad they wouldn’t be.

At 9:50 a.m. today it was already 89°F when a farm worker sent us this photo from where they were harvesting table grapes in Lamont CA. #WeFeedYou #Calor

"I can't buy a Glock in my state" There are a lot of very good striker-fired pistols on the market if you're stuck in a state that won't allow Glocks or makes them super expensive. Some suggestions: Walther PDP CZ P10C (this writer's favorite) Beretta APX Smith & Wesson M&P Springfield Echelon

PERA determines Providence Police assisted ICE, violating ordinances and policy "...the police department was in violation of both city ordinance and police department policy when they impermissibly assisted ICE agents in conducting civil immigration enforcement operations.”

ICE will "no longer report the number of transgender people in their custody." "ICE has rolled back trans care requirements in [..] detention centers and removed a 2015 memo governing how the agency treats trans migrants." #NewYork #USA #Cuba #Kenya #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

man who cares if "crime is down" or you have a nice photo of a park. if crime were up and your photo was less pleasant to look at the thing is still that the president shouldn't be sending brownshirts to traipse around our cities

We knew Brian and we are sorry to hear of his passing. If you can, please help his family cover his final expenses

Three easy answers to common questions that will be right for 99.9% of able-bodied people who feel safe owning guns: 1 The pistol you should get is a Glock 19 2 The rifle you should get is an AR-15 from a reputable company. One with an aluminum lower 3 You don't need a shotgun

Another year on the books at Naugatuck Rainbow Festival. Thanks as always to the organizers for having us as well as @rijbgc.bsky.social for the assist. The dog quality was on another level.

It is the 4th of July so this must be posted, as always

Hey everyone, Been quiet about this, but I had to give up my home of 13 years this week. Can’t go back to work until August & between moving expenses, medical bills & car repairs, I’m out of money. I need help to get by the next 2 months & be able to report. Donation links below. Anything helps.
