Today in Rhode Island History: 1971: The Rhode Island General Assembly adjourns after the longest continuous session in Rhode Island history — 105 days.

Did you know that we know less about the sea than we do about space? With this comic, we explore some of what scientists do know about Earth's ocean.

The release came in response to an executive order issued by President Trump. King's family warned they would object to any use of the records "to spread falsehoods" about King's life and legacy.

Right now, $8 million worth of lifesaving food is sitting in a warehouse in Rhode Island, already paid for by taxpayer, while children around the world starve. This is a moral failure. And I will speak out until the Trump Administration restores this critical food aid.

Good trouble in Westerly, Rhode Island

More than two dozen Rhode Island businesses have pledged to prohibit immigration enforcement agents from their stores, restaurants, and establishments without a judicial warrant, under a new initiative organized by the Rhode Island Deportation Defense Coalition. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/07/18/m...

SNAP cuts are an attack on working Rhode Island families just trying to make ends meet. ⅓ of Rhode Islanders already struggle to afford groceries. Trump and Republicans' big, ugly law is full of red tape that will hurt Rhode Islanders. www.wpri.com/news/washing...

🚨BREAKING: Criminal prosecutors at the U.S. Department of Justice are asking Rhode Island to hand over sensitive voter roll information to help with the Trump administration’s hunt for voter fraud, according to an email obtained by Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Looks like I’ll be visiting Rhode Island for the first time in my life. 😎🪿

A Jubilee video where I'm debating 20 Massachusetts residents about why Rhode Island is superior.

Coltrane, gone 58 years ago today. “.. the main thing a musician would like to do,” he said, “is give a picture to the listener of the many wonderful things that he knows of and senses in the universe." “A Love Supreme” (1965) #RIP

A few pics of tonight's sky. That one cloud has a serious silver lining.

Reprehensible😠

The United States has a concentration camp in Florida. Let that sink in.

Over 120 mRNA cancer trials are now at risk as the Trump admin cuts funding & tells researchers to scrub “mRNA” from grant proposals. What started as COVID fearmongering is now derailing life-saving cancer research. Hope remains - but scientists say time is running out. zurl.co/YBGNy

substack.com/@demwinsmedi... This was an EPIC speech by Scott Pelley of 60 Min fame, given to Wake Forest U grads in May #patriot

IRE NEWS: Scott Pelley, the longtime and highly regarded correspondent for @60minutes.bsky.social, will serve as master of ceremonies for IRE's 50th Anniversary Gala this September. www.ire.org/scott-pelley...

60 Minutes and Scott Pelley reported, on Trump’s attempts to strong-arm top law firms. Despite pressure from CBS leadership to avoid ‘sensitive’ stories, the show didn’t back down, calling Trump the ‘first felon’ to occupy the Oval Office. Their courage is more vital than ever.

"I get up when it’s still dark because, if I wait until after the Tuscan sun rises, it will be too hot to bake a cake." This shortie by @brechtdp.bsky.social in @fracturedlit.bsky.social stretched my heart. Recommended read. fracturedlit.com/the-flavours...

Love this story! Quick, worthy read.

This is an easy one. No. No, it's not. Empathy, compassion, and human decency (not to mention equal rights, Constitutionality, anti-fascism, and anti-theocracy) all matter to me more than whether or not we happen to be related.

In six words or fewer, write a story about this photo. #sixwordstory #WritingCommunity

Practice ends. Neighborhood finally breathes again. #sixwordstory #WritingCommunity

This idea came hot on the heels of the night of storytelling I organized in July of 2019, about getting around Rhode Island without using a car. @dylancgiles.bsky.social says we should do it again. He’s right.

If people are ridiculing and genuinely discarding empathy (I thought it was a kind of joke, but no), then it is no surprise that "public service" is not valued at all. But it is certainly mind boggling. Best regards from Rhode Island.
