I can give you 250 reasons why Rhode Island wouldn’t be caught dead at the Great American State Fair. Monday morning and my smirk’s wide. rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/06/15/r...

🔥Yes, Rhode Island! I sent a letter to many legislators to support (S2291/H7199)! This will provide important protections for victims and their children fleeing abuse, domestic/sexual violence, and stalking. Via @rhodeislandcurrent.com 👇 rhodeislandcurrent.com/briefs/mckee...

Catch me representing @momsdemandaction.org and NK Democrats at tomorrow’s North Kingstown Pride Parade. It’s a super cool time every year. Visit me at the Moms table and remind me to drink water, please.

I couldn’t leave @mackdistrict6.bsky.social’s side tonight, breathing in her intelligence, coolness, and honesty. More leaders like Sen. Mack, please. She and AOC give me such hope!

Rep. Michelle McGaw is one of the best legislators in RI and I will be compos(t)ing my letters to support this! “Rep Michelle McGaw said 13 states now allow human composting and 29 states allow water cremation, including Connecticut” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/28/m...

“Euphoria” always stirs my insomnia and I hedge between hating it, then hating myself for obsessing over it. It’s a maternal watch; I can’t stop caring and hoping Maddy, Cassie, and Rue live. pagesix.com/2026/05/24/e...

Rhode Island’s distinctions are strange: Why is RI the only where state supreme court is granted lifetime appointments and no mandatory retirement age? www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/12/m...

Yes, @bostonglobe.com had me at “Assault-style rifle…’ This could have been so much worse in Boston. It’s always a good time to remember the U.S. needs a federal assault weapons ban. us.list-manage.com/MZMtLwYYfu_?...

I’m so happy Mother’s Day is over.

‘Euphoria’ is so uselessly depraved that I almost HAVE to watch it through, to somehow sit along with the young and talented actors while they’re senselessly degraded. www.justjared.com/2026/05/11/e...

Damn, @steveahlquist.bsky.social event is sold out today. Sorry that I didn’t get tickets in advance! Bask in the glory today, Steve.

In North Kingstown, an 18-year old woman was recently stabbed, our female police officer recently unalived herself, and a 20-year old NKSD graduate just died suddenly and unexpectedly. But let’s get bonkers irate over sludge and asphalt.

For a liberal state, Rhode Island’s NIMBY is noteworthy. In North Kingstown most my pals redistrict to get their kids out of the schools with affordable housing kids, are against affordable housing, outrage over asphalt smells, housing complexes, and beach access. Why not NK?

Hung out in East Greenwich to see the Throwing Muses at the Odeum. I had to pop into to my favorite RI bar, the Greenwich Lounge. Super cool to see @steveahlquist.bsky.social out in the wild.

Dudes, what’s Trump putting in the gas? Dubai chocolate?

A peer of Vic Mellor’s. Scrape the surface of Jan 6rs’ pardoned lives and child porn arises. A party of projection. www.wwlp.com/news/crime/a...

The crowds were huuuge, without MAGA in sight or smell. North Kingstown and Providence, Rhode Island. With all the money I’m making protesting, I should have gotten a manicure!

Can’t wait for midterms. Democrats have learned a lot and will sweep. Immigration, pomposity, and playing nice were our Achilles heel. Let’s go!

The North Kingstown Democrats hosted a sweet Protest Signapolooza party at the Rhode Island Computer Museum last night. All money raised went to the NK Food Pantry. This is democracy. While MAGA fights on X, progressives get busy.

I haven’t had this much fun since the last snowstorm! Keeping it weird in Rhode Island.

From Brown University @studentsdemandaction.org chapter about another senseless act of gun violence In Rhode Island.

Why is the Rhode Island GOP so afraid of inclusive voting? rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/02/05/l...

Another day, another ICE murder. This isn’t an America to which my cat, or I, pledge allegiance. Alex Pretti gave more to America than Trump.

may hate a lot right now, but I love the snow. I wonder if Alex Pretti and Renee Good did, too. How much money will their families receive for their senseless murders? Republicans are pro-life, yet don’t care when an ICU and mom are executed.

Someone check my pulse: Saw “Marty Supreme” and thought it was alright, too long, and wanted to pop all of Marty’s fake blackheads. Meh. variety.com/2026/artisan...

DYK that upper middle class, college educated folks can drink themselves to an early grave? Our grandparents built a small business and I watch many kin spiral into addiction and mental health sadness. I don’t think we knew anything other than transactional love. RIP Brian.

My cousin Brian died from alcoholism yesterday. As toddlers, we were bewildered to learn we’d never marry. He loved pro wrestling, comic books, hockey and music. I picked him up from every rehab. We’d plan for his future and split a smoke. Brian Morrissey, I love you.

My cousin Brian died yesterday. Clever, informed, and polite, Brian was 49 and died 4 months after his mom. Alcohol ravaged him for 30 years. He just came into an inheritance that I thought would solve it all. I was very wrong and don’t understand addiction.

I’ll admit when I am wrong: Rep. Chippendale did well. Governor McKee did very well. But these maritime drone dudes stole the whole show. Bravo. Stars were born. Tell me more. ASL pros, too. Super animated.

“Erratic Trump tariffs.” Indeed McKee. Rhode Island State of the State.

“Let me be clear: we will not back down.” @govdanmckee.bsky.social about fighting Trump administration for the Rhode Island Revolution Wind Project.

I use Workday five days per week and have never had an issue. I dig it. Anyone else? rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/01/09/s...

Rhode Island, have you been to Ragged Island in Portsmouth yet? I do believe I’ve located a new happy place.

It’s very telling who is almost applauding a 37-year old woman’s unnecessary death. The last words she heard were “fu$king b&tch.” Just like rape, republicans blame the victim.

I wish Prince was still alive. Minneapolis needs him.

Are we pretending we don’t have eyes? In what America is this considered self-defense? www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/07/n...

Gun violence is gun violence no matter who pulls the trigger. @momsdemand.bsky.social

Let’s make progress, progressively!

This Jan. 6, the Rhode Island State House was alive with red to ignite the 2026 legislative session. When lost, always look for the @MomsDemand. Let’s do progressively thangs.

Again in 2026, advocates’ voices will be heard and our words read! It’s a calmer year for RI safe gun advocates without a big law or bill in the works, but we celebrate our recent wins and support other progressive causes. @momsdemand.bsky.social www.providencejournal.com/picture-gall...

“And without major gun safety legislation on the horizon this year — at least, not yet — their policy differences might remain more veiled.” Will Ciccone and Lawson work well together? Good read about 2026 legislative goals. rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/01/02/r...

I will be at the Rhode Island State House on Tuesday (and many more). Showing up for humanity and @momsdemand.bsky.social, NK Democrats, @ridwomenscaucus.bsky.social, and I love me some RI Atheists, too. The world’s watching, let’s be seen.

“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump says. He can’t run the country he was elected (ew) to lead, how’s he going to run another? www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/03/w...

I just got back after a beautiful family trip to Jamaica and the Trump dump is at it again. We just buried 2025 and THIS is 2026? Rhode Island, we MUST fight back together in 2026!

So if we’re just grabbing presidents now, can someone come grab mine?

In Jamaica, vacationing and talking politics. I have had many amusing conversations about Rhode Island’s existence, tariffs, America’s expensiveness, and Trump.

Today we mourn Donovan, a Parkland school shooting survivor. His suicide illustrates the inability for children to fully “survive” something so traumatizing. It’s the guns. And the horror of it all. people.com/parkland-sch...

‘Scattered across campus, Ella Cook’s friends were tracking her location using a phone app. It showed her still inside Barus and Holley; maybe she dropped her phone in the chaos of the escape, they told themselves.’ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/20/m...

See something, say something. And now we see what inaction leads to. How heartbreaking. We all know custodians and cafeteria workers are the heart of campus. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/22/m...
