BREAKING: Police are investigating possible ties between the shooting at Brown University on Saturday, and the killing of a MIT professor in Brookline, Mass. on Monday. w/ @elisherman.bsky.social @tednesi.bsky.social www.wpri.com/target-12/po...

Providence police have created a centralized site for photos/videos related to the Brown University shooting. Rely on official sources like this, not AI-fueled online stuff www.providenceri.gov/tips/

Please only share official videos and photos. There’s a lot of folks that are taking it upon themselves to “enhance” or otherwise manipulate the images which are giving a false identity of the POI. If it’s not from official channels, it’s not worth sharing - and could be actively harmful.

Congress just banned most hemp-derived THC products. What does that mean for RI beverage producers? My newest On Tap is a long one this month as we explore the federal shutdown deal. Shoutout to @krish-eh.bsky.social who also has a great explainer on the topic. www.rimonthly.com/on-tap-brewe...

Update, the "ground" we're breaking today is actually snow from A Christmas Carol. This is delightful and very on-brand for RI.

Here at the groundbreaking for Trinity Rep's expansion. Seeing as groundbreakings are always ceremonial and it's raining, I was glad to see the festivities will take place on the indoor stage.

At their 4 pm meeting yesterday the Board of Elections staff reported receiving several dozen phone calls from voters asking why they didn’t have an election yesterday.

My deep dive on @rhodeislandfc.bsky.social is now online. Turns out Pawtucket is no stranger to soccer - immigrant communities have cheered on teams here for 100+ years, and the U.S. Open Cup originated up the street. @rimonthly.bsky.social www.rimonthly.com/rhode-island...

I thought I knew everything there was to know about dynamites, but this @coreyp.bsky.social story proved me wrong. Also intrigued by the addition of Italian sausage - never seen it before, but it sounds amazing. @thevalleybreeze.bsky.social www.valleybreeze.com/local_scoop/...

BREAKING: Brown University has reached a "voluntary agreement" with the Trump administration to restore its federal funding Brown has agreed to a series of "voluntary" concessions as part of the deal, per President Paxson www.wpri.com/news/politic...

A quick reminder that @lynnarditi.bsky.social has been following Mack Blackie's story since 2022. A classic example of how having your story told helps secure justice.

A moving ending to a profoundly important story, but it also makes me think about the other 2,372 in Rhode Island who won't get a GoFundMe page. Every one with a story.

The number of unsheltered people in RI is still going up, from @rhodeislandcurrent.com.

My fiance and I had this conversation while house hunting. Even though it ultimately wasn't feasible (or what we wanted) to leave RI, it's tough when you see friends buying homes and throwing weddings in major cities with more amenities for far less.
