From David Adler aboard the Sumud Flotilla on why he and others are sailing to Gaza: UN "member-states continue to arm, aid, and abet the state of Israel in its expanding campaign of destruction, eviction, and annexation of the occupied Palestinian territories" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Breaking: Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters has resigned after porn allegations. Walters is the guy who directed public schools to incorporate the Christian Bible and Ten Commandments into instruction, which triggered lawsuits over church–state separation.

RI congressmen @amo.house.gov and @magaziner.house.gov object to renaming Workforce Pell Grants for Trump. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/24/m...

Two members Rhode Island‘s congressional delegation are objecting to plans to change the name of federal Workforce Pell Grants to “Trump Grants.”

I joined @pvdstreets.bsky.social & everyday Rhode Islanders from Westerly to Woonsocket who gathered in Providence to mourn the cuts to @ripta.com & continue the fight for public transit in the Ocean State 🚉 🚌 💛💙

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

There was no legitimate reason to stop Revolution Wind, judge says, calling it "the height of arbitrary and capricious"

“Trump is not a god, or a king," @climateactionri.org said. "His administration often issues illegal orders and they can be stopped. This is a huge win not just for Revolution Wind, but for offshore wind projects up and down the East Coast targeted by Trump.” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/22/m...

This is the right outcome. Revolution Wind is 80% complete and will deliver much needed low cost energy to the grid. And, as was apparent when I asked an admin official about the stoppage in the Nat Resources Cmte - they had no clear argument for stopping the project. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/22/j...

A federal judge has ruled that Revolution Wind can continue construction after the Trump administration issued a stop work order for the offshore wind project. Revolution Wind said it will resume impacted construction work as soon as possible.

Glad to see the court action to protect Revolution Wind from Trump’s unjustified and illegal actions against on offshore wind. This gets workers back on the job and keeps RI’ers on the path to clean, cheap energy.

This is a victory for all Rhode Islanders and all Americans! 🇺🇸 🏗👩‍🔧🧑🏽‍🔧👨🏿‍🔧 Union Jobs & Clean Energy is a win for all of us!

No need to pretend that this is about immigration anymore.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt

This is a great piece from @antoniafarzan.bsky.social about Hasbro's departure from RI and the future of Pawtucket.

I love neighborhood block parties 💙

This week Historians At The Movies is talking about a film that is absolutely not relevant at all. Join us on Netflix this Sunday, September 21 at 8pm eastern to watch IDIOCRACY. I want everybody here this weekend so share this broadly. Let’s set new #HATM viewership records. See you soon.

It was an honor or to join many other Rhode Islanders to advocate against genocide and war on the United Nations International Day of Peace #Peace #EndTheGenocide @paxchristiusa.bsky.social @jvp.bsky.social @veteransforpeace.bsky.social

25% of Drs in US are foreign grads. Many are on an H1B visa. This will hit health systems hard especially rural hospitals and hospitals in underserved areas that sponsor these visas through waiver programs. The old cost was about 5000$ a year. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

On Tuesday night, over 200 neighbors joined us to celebrate the launch of our movement! A movement of working people ready to stand up and fight for a Providence that everyone can afford. I am overwhelmed by our momentum. Together, we’re going to win a Providence for All. 🫶🏽

It would also be illegal under international law, not to mention immoral, and would result in pain and suffering for millions of people. #HandsOffVenezuela Kinzer's 2006 book, Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Change From Hawaii to Iraq, is worth a read!

Together, we’re building a grassroots movement to deliver a Providence for all! Join us this weekend as we start knocking on doors and talking with our neighbors. Join us on Saturday, September 20th at Dexter Park at 10am! 🫶🏾 Sign up at bit.ly/DavidMoralesPVD

Not ashamed to admit I literally screamed with excitement when I saw the stanchions were installed. Bit by bit, we are making progress. @pvdstreets.bsky.social 🙌🏻🙌🏻

... just reposting this U.S. Supreme Court from May 2024, a 9-0 unanimous decision: "Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors." #FightFascism #OpposeOligarchy

Superb podcast eviscerating the dangerously bad motivated reasoning among too many among liberals and the left a out Tyler Robinson. Angry Planet | Matthew Gault | Substack share.google/T9gyGtUeU2qu...

Here are the comments that ABC used as justification for canceling Jimmy Kimmel Live.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Let's keep building our multigenerational, multiracial, diverse coalition to #SaveMorleyField here in #Pawtucket #RhodeIsland 🇺🇸 It's not just about saving our park. It's about empowering our communities to advocate for themselves. #Democracy #AntiFascist steveahlquist.substack.com/p/angry-resi...

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

So grateful for leaders like Jennifer Stewart and for my neighbors in this video. #SaveMorleyField

It’s not just Medicaid and Medicare at risk. This program for working-class RIers has been cut. "...when the new bills arrive after the new year, 6 out of 7 households enrolled in HealthSource RI plans who receive premium support will discover an estimated 85% increase in their premium payments."

They cry “free speech” when it’s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly we’ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

New from 404 Media: the DOJ quietly deleted a study that showed domestic terrorists are most often right wing. Unclear why deleted, but comes after Kirk assassination. One of the study's co-authors declined to comment. www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Who’s behind the enshittification of PVD’s North Main St and Pawtucket’s Morley Field by turning a potential housing site and existing public park into a trucking center? The project is financially underwritten by Revolve Wealth of Hackensack NJ revolvewealth.com/our-team/

HUGE THANKS to everyone who joined our monthly Community Organizing Group (COG) meeting last night, and to @mapcenter.com for hosting!

This is a dangerous time that recalls for me the Ari Fleischer "people should watch what they say" era after 9/11. @ryanlcooper.com writes about the pretextual use of Charlie Kirk's death to argue for restrictions on all speech that isn't pro-conservative. prospect.org/politics/202...

Providence is in a housing emergency! The cost of rent is skyrocketing and we’re seeing for-profit corporations buying out our neighborhoods. Learn about our plan to stop the corporate takeover of our neighborhoods, and let me know in the replies how much your rent gone up.

Lots of Pawtucket neighbors came out last night to the Planning Commission meeting to say #SaveMorleyField ! 🌳🌳🌳 www.wpri.com/news/local-n...

Are you frustrated with your elected officials? The good news is we’re heading into a primary season where we get to determine the leaders of the Democratic Party.
