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...

Count me out of the Rhode Island alt-right, book-banning MAGA cultists spreading hateful conspiracy theories about a mass shooting. Don’t they have a holiday pig roast to attend, with cigars and bad fashion?

Wake up, after an unusually sound sleep, to Rob Reiner’s murder at his son’s hands. I went to the Brown University vigil last night, saddened but relieved that the shooter was caught. He isn’t. When does anything get better? Be well, pals; these are sad times.

“I think it’s worth it. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God given rights. That’s a prudent deal. It is rational.” Charlie Kirk (1993-2025)

Almost seven hours ago, this man with a clumsy gait and a mission appeared on Hope Street, apparently leaving the Brown University shooting. If you know this dude, you’ll know his walk. Watch. Report. Also, there MUST be more videos. youtu.be/vkLf80oxe-Q

Rhode Island, stay safe. It’s never too soon to share that we don’t have to live this way. www.browndailyherald.com/article/2025...

It’s Representative Seth Magazine’s world today and I’m lucky to live in it.

Sen. Alana DiMario is the kind of leader Rhode Island needs; same for Sen. Bridget Valverde. Each think and act outside the RI bruh/male/country-clubbing Democrat rules of engagement. Rhode Island voters shouldn’t get lost in the drama. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/08/m...

I am hoping that the Providence College kids suffering from frightening overdoses get better soon. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/07/m...

What do MAGA kids watch at home, on television? I am genuinely curious. How can MAGA moms be behind cutting and gutting PBS programming? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/07/b...

“James Diossa has committed $60 million in state deposits to help first-time homebuyers secure 30-year mortgages under a pilot program unveiled Thursday.” More of this, please. rhodeislandcurrent.com/2025/12/04/r...

Took a vacation today to chaperone the North Kingstown High School's trip to PPAC's marvelous ‘Water for Elephants.' Then shimmied on over to the State House for a @momsdemand.bsky.social event and spied the Christmas tree. The youth, PPAC, and safe gun laws are alright.

Riddle me this: Erika Kirk is the president of Turning Point USA and was on ‘Southern Charm’ a few years ago, but is talking smack about career women? Help me make this sense.

Thanks to @thevalleybreeze.bsky.social for sharing this story. How can we help this soup kitchen continue, RI? “Ask Jesus what he would do, says Pawtucket Soup Kitchen Director Adrienne Marchetti” www.valleybreeze.com/news/pawtuck...

Quentin Tarantino’s most important act was annoying Fiona Apple so greatly, she never used coke again. Paul Dano’s pinky is cooler than Tarantino’s entity.

My Spotify wrap lists my age at 43, so why so I feel 82 or 14?

Let’s hear it for science! “No matter what a federal advisory committee recommends later this week, RIDOH on Monday reasserted the state’s commitment to preserving continued access to the hepatitis B vaccine for newborns.” rhodeislandcurrent.com/briefs/r-i-h...

Save Cheryl Hines.

RFK Jr. wrote, “I mean to squeeze your cheeks to force open your mouth. I’ll hold your nose as you look up at me to encourage you to swallow. Dont spill a drop. I am a river.You are my canyon…” While married to Cheryl Hines. The Trump dump is a bad reality show. www.telos.news/p/part-2-she...

My eyes burn thinking of RFK writing a poem about his ejaculation during a sex Facetime encounter with writer Nuzzi, conducted while he was married to Cheryl Hines! Can someone tell me why anyone would find this Kennedy garbage good looking? www.theringer.com/2025/11/25/n...

Nobody should be shot and I ache for the victims’ families. - Trump has the National Guard there FOR NO REASON. - Trump’s administration granted shooter asylum. - It’s the guns, too. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

For Thanksgiving, Trump used the ‘R’ word, something most schools have pledges that kids sign NOT to say. Trump went on a hate-filled rant while families digested pie. Wonder where kids are learning to treat folks w/disabilities like trash? Disgusting. nz.news.yahoo.com/tim-walz-hit...

Hosted Thanksgiving and adore my MAGA-annoyed family! We ate, watched ‘South Park,’ and played song requests. My 84-year old mom was amused and requested Kris Kristofferson. Also, 5 pots of coffee for this sober Thanksgiving, a family record!

The Rogers High School assault is beyond disturbing; it is criminal. IF you watch the video of the abuse, watch with care. It’s so hard to shake, can you IMAGINE being the victim?! Kids AND adults with special needs MUST be protected. What is going on?! turnto10.com/news/local/2...

Last night’s @60minutes.bsky.social on dead children’s untouched bedrooms, all killed in school shootings. 160 kids last year. How many this year? These families are amazing and I thank them for sharing. www.cbsnews.com/news/left-be...

Tatiana’s words moved me to tears and heavy sadness. The power of motherhood, mixed with familial and worldwide horror at the systems her family put into place being dismantled by an unhinged uncle. Shakespearean but also just life. ‘Imagine being a Kennedy?’ www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Stirring and heartbreaking story about Tatiana Schlossberg’s terminal cancer. She battles for her life while her great uncle upsets the American healthcare system keeping her alive. Diagnosed with leukemia on the day she gave birth. My gosh. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

David Tikoian is a Rhode Island DEMOCRAT who voted for Donald Trump. Unbelievable.

I live the Talking Heads/ Rhode Island lore, it illuminates coolness. ‘Ahead of Record Store Day on Nov. 28, drummer Chris Frantz tells the Globe how the track grew out of his band with David Byrne during his days as a RISD student.’ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/21/m...

Well “The Beast in Me” got predicable pretty damn fast. Not even Claire Danes can act her way out of this one.

What do I do? Twitter/X is actually down. Did the cesspool collapse?

“Homicide rates among pregnant women increase with the rate of firearm ownership, according to a state-by-state study published this week in the medical journal JAMA Network Open.” It’s the guns, always the guns. rhodeislandcurrent.com/2025/11/13/r...

My good camera and I finally got around to meet North Kingstown troll, Iver Mudslinger. Iver is an exquisite sculpture created by artist Thomas Dambo and located in lucious Ryan Park.

“…Moms for Liberty claim that 17 of their endorsed school board candidates won their races…but those were uncontested races. In contested races they were 0 for 31…” www.forbes.com/sites/peterg...
