Currently at a crossroads thinking about long-term plans and I’d love to shadow a transit service planner sometime. I’ve been fascinated by service planning since I was a kid and learning more about their day-to-day work would be really helpful! 🚌🗺️

Hear directly from neighbors as to why they’re supporting our movement to build a Providence for all 🫶🏾 If their stories speak to you, consider contributing to our campaign. Because as a grassroots movement, we’re powered by the people, not Corporate PACs! secure.actblue.com/donate/davidmoralespvd

From improving access to hearing aids to protecting our neighbors experiencing Medical Debt to improving youth mental health services — here is a look at some of the NEW healthcare laws coming to Rhode Island! 🏥⚓️

Andrew, I am so sorry. This is awful. Every person deserves healthcare. It is shocking that the U.S. continues to be the only industrialized democracy without universal healthcare. The problems are well known(www.pgpf.org/article/how-...). The solution is simple (inthesetimes.com/article/medi...).

Gen Z men are the most pro-union generation yet, and the reason is simple: unions help workers build real financial stability. Higher wages, better benefits, and a voice on the job matter, especially in an economy where costs keep rising and job security feels out of reach. https://seiu.co/4jvSKcN

At the start of 2025, some people questioned whether the resistance was dead. They doubted that Trump’s authoritarian agenda would be met with defiance and backlash. You proved them wrong: indivisible.org/groups

Thank you @phileil.bsky.social for this important piece about our #RhodeIsland community coming together instead of allowing our tragedy to divide us. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Wishing a Happy Christmas to all who celebrate 🎄and best wishes for the New Year to all ✨️🎊❄️✨️🎉

As we rejoice in community this Christmas Eve, I encourage our neighbors to read this powerful piece by local reporter and author, Phil Eil. In Providence, we don’t scapegoat our communities. www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

When a paper is owned by billionaires does it become impossible to utter the word “corruption”? Seriously, could it be more obvious? You think this is a policy dispute? Wake up.

Maybe it gives them too much credit but sometimes I think making a dramatic show of the censorship is the point, nothing could please Trump more.

Throwback Thursday: Earlier this year, history was made when Representative @jenstewart4ri.bsky.social introduced the Rhode Island Day of Reason resolution in the House of Representatives.

Courts have already rejected these spurious "national security concerns," so why are Republicans still opposed to good union jobs producing affordable, renewable energy for Americans? #YesToWind 🌬 🇺🇸

Bari Weiss lied in her memo. She said segment didn't report administration's legal justification (it does in the very first sentence) and didn't say how many detainees had been charged with crimes as opposed to just those who were convicted (it does). www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

Ørsted is "evaluating all options to resolve (another baseless stop work order) expeditiously," including legal action (which worked pretty well last time). And we at @climateactionri.org's #YestoWind campaign will be responding as well. #offshorewind orsted.com/en/media/new...

iCloud, Mega, and as a torrent. Archivists have uploaded the 60 Minutes episode Bari Weiss spiked.

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

where we're at on redistricting at the end of 2025 shows how Dems have fought to a draw—but also how big a hole they could still be in if Virginia doesn't work out but Florida does boltsmag.org/mid-decade-r...

Honestly, watching elders care about youngsters and their education is something that perks me up faster than espresso. Let's find that kiddo an atlas. (We ended up settling upon "Where the Animals Go" by Oliver Uberti. www.oliveruberti.com/where-the-an...

This is President Donald ‘Stop Work’ Trump trying to keep affordable, clean energy off the grid, without a care about how many working people have to lose their jobs to keep his fossil fuel billionaires happy.

This type of action is bad for workers, bad for energy prices, and bad for our grid. Hmmm - I wonder who it helps? (hint: fossil fuel companies..). Thank you for calling this out, @whitehouse.senate.gov

Thank you @amo.house.gov for telling it like it is. We look forward to your continuing support, just as you had our backs on the Revolution Wind stop work order. #YestoWind

A real legend. Sorry to see her go.

"'If the administration’s refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient,' Ms. Alfonsi wrote." {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

especially in the dark hours we need to remember that we are going to win

The vast majority of people want to see this ban passed — and I'm one of them. Let's get this done.⁩

I was the guest of the Aliance of Cambridge Tenants at their monthly meeting last night — we ate pizza and I answered all their questions about politics and policy — we talked about rent control, social housing, tax policy, navigating the neoliberal bureaucracy, and threatened federal funding cuts.

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

Tesla’s Robotaxi is crashing roughly once every 40,000 miles so far in Austin, and that's with a human safety supervisor in vehicle. For comparison, the average human driver in the US crashes about once every 500,000 miles. electrek.co/2025/12/15/t...

My friend Marissa wrote a lovely piece about how it’s felt being in Providence in the wake of the shooting at Brown, and how often we have been traumatized. She’s a great writer and yes I did cry. open.substack.com/pub/marissag...

Rest in peace Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov and Ella Cook, two Brown University students and Providence neighbors who were tragically taken from us this weekend. My prayers and deepest sympathies are with their families.

Last night Rhode Islanders & the Brown University came together to grieve together & comfort each other. In times of darkness we can still share our light with each other. Sending love to the survivors & the families & friends of those we lost here, and in the awful antisemitic attack in Australia🕯❤️

Nickenley Turenne of Manchester, NH was asleep in a car and *somehow* this ended with police shooting him while he was, according to them, trying to get away from them on foot and now he is dead Why did they shoot someone who was running away? #rhetorical #BlackLivesMatter
