PVD Councilmember Roias: Charles Place tenants are "trapped in their homes" due to broken elevators "I am deeply frustrated by what appears to be a continuing pattern of neglect. These elevators are essential infrastructure. For many residents, they are the difference between safety and danger."

Yes!! Meet Jasper! My sister and brother-in-law's doggo! 🤎

Hang out with me drawing colored lines on maps! Our “inexcusably fun” 2 day intensive course in public transit network design comes to Portland July 30-31 and Chicago Oct 1-2. Please share! humantransit.org/2026/05/new-...

A response from Republican state representative Brian C. Newberry from Rhode Island, the state I currently call home. I said that there’s no evidence of election fraud in CA! 😪 He’s a lawyer, yet he’s complaining about elections in a state he barely knows. He’s also calling us “little communists” 🫩

Here, incumbent Providence Mayor Brett Smiley is a Moderate while David Morales is a Progressive! Gonna be a wild ride for the next three months! 🫨

Jealous of all the drama in LA’s mayoral race, Providence? 👀 Get ready for our own version of Bass vs. Raman because there’s a primary in September! Smiley vs. Morales, here we go!! 🗳️⚓️🏙️

The General Assembly has approved the formation of a new commission to study hospital staffing levels and their impact on patient safety. Union members and nurses praised the move; hospitals are concerned about financial impacts. By @ohnocastro.bsky.social

Does Karen Bass want to lose the progressive vote? She seems determined.

#OtD 3 Jun 1943 200 white US Navy sailors attacked zoot suit wearing Mexican-American children in LA. Police arrested the victims of the attacks and the city council even tried to ban the wearing of the suit. Zoot suit riots broke out in several cities stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1019...

Manifesting “Mayor David Morales” 🙏🏽⚓️🏙️ @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social Providence is ready for new leadership! www.davidmoralespvd.com

It was wonderful to meet David Morales who is a Reclaim RI candidate for Mayor of Providence! Rooting for you!!! I also got to reconnect w so many wonderful activists in our community. Thank you all for turning out to support @ayannapressley.bsky.social and @aoc.bsky.social this week!

The state Department of Transportation collects crash data for Rhode Island’s 39 cities and towns, but it has refused to make that information public, claiming the data is not a public record under state law and that federal law prohibits “the discovery of crash data in litigation.”

The leaked audio from 2022?? Hello, LA has not forgotten about it!! Disgraced FORMER councilmembers Nury Martinez, Gill Cedillo, and Kevin de León plotted to gerrymander Councilmember Nithya Raman's district and carve out Koreatown specifically to strip away her core base of renters.

Lol Conservatives are calling for California to end ballot harvesting since they think it’s promoting election fraud 😐

Seen so many of these “Brett Smiley is a raggedy bitch” stickers across Providence 🫢

People: In the mayoral race, Nithya couldn’t even win her own district! Reason: Her district changed more than any other during redistricting! Renter-heavy parts of Koreatown were removed from the district & parts of the San Fernando Valley featuring more homeowners were added in!!

We’ll see about that!! Coalesce around Nithya Raman, Los Angeles! 🗳️

"Nithya Raman has no base"😪 In March 2020, Nithya forced incumbent councilmember David Ryu into a November runoff and ended up winning! Ryu was the first LA City councilmember to be ousted in 17 years! Nithya was also primaried by Ethan Weaver in March 2024 and beat him outright!

They tried to put her district in a blender, but she’s about to blend their plans instead! 😎 With today's election update, Nithya Raman has officially surpassed Spencer Pratt! She's poised to advance to the runoff!! bsky.app/profile/awal...

As a kid from Glendale who lived 20 mins. by foot from the northeastern tip of Griffith Park, I was so inspired by @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social's campaign to represent LA Council District 4 back in 2020! 🥹 City boundaries definitely didn't stop the inspiration! Go Nithya!!👏🏻🌴🏙️🚂

The Providence Police Department said that a person was shot at the Paris Bistro Cafe and Lounge on Smith Street Sunday. https://bit.ly/4uUzgTH

Highly recommend doing this if you're in LA and wanna watch the ballot processing action!!

Wow! Obsessed with the live stream for Los Angeles County's Ballot Processing Center in City of Industry, CA!! 🗳️ www.lavote.gov/home/voting-...

Trump should show up here at the L.A. County ballot processing center because he’d learn within five minutes this is democracy in action, not some conspiracy.

Cry harder!! Your preferred candidate for LA Mayor is toast!!

Every reporter who interviews him moving forward should just keep telling him, “but there’s no evidence of that…” so we can watch him implode on national television again lol

Wonder if Los Angeles City Council’s progressive bloc will continue to endorse incumbent Mayor Karen Bass once Nithya officially makes it to the runoff! 🤔 Did they think that Nithya had no chance of winning the primary?

Just remembered Trump hired Ken Block, who's running for governor here in Rhode Island, to investigate voter fraud claims in 2020 😪

Thinking about that time the RIPTA bus operator took a wrong turn on that roundabout by the Henderson Bridge and instead of getting onto the bridge, he spun around onto a road that led to Broadway in East Providence 😅🚌

FWIW: Helena Foulkes oversaw the launch of CVS ExtraCare card! Racked up enough ExtraBucks Rewards to save 50% off all the medical supplies I got for my parents the other day! 😎

Rhode Island is a place where everyone belongs.🏳️‍🌈 Thrilled to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community with performances, food, and art at East Providence Pride. I’ll keep fighting in Congress to protect the freedom to be who you are and love who you love!

Extremely funny to watch the right coalesce around “I’m in a bubble of morons, so this is impossible!” as an explanation for the LA mayoral results.

Hope John's doing well! He served on the Emeryville, CA City Council and was a champion for active transit and safe streets during his tenure! 🥹🚲

Ride the D to @WeHoCity Pride this weekend! 🏳️‍🌈 💜 Take the D Line to Wilshire/La Cienega Station. Then connect on the free Pride Ride shuttle to Melrose. Runs every 30 min, 5 pm-midnight (Fri-Sun). Please see map below.

WeHo Pride live coverage on KTLA! Thanks @wehocity.bsky.social!! www.facebook.com/share/v/18xo...

Unlike California, Rhode Island has a party primary in September and a general election in November!

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

RIDOT Dir. removed as chair of RIPTA board, RIDOT audit, and now maybe crash data release… crazy how once Alviti and his allies are removed for Leg. leadership, a reckoning finally might come for RIDOT

Anyone remember the NBC sitcom Mr. Mayor? 😅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2w4...

Previously on A House Divided... 📺 Invested in LA's mayoral race drama even tho Providence is also about to gear up for its own in September! 😅🗳️⚓ Election season y'all!! 😮‍💨

Gunfire erupted Saturday near a busy street festival in Ohio, wounding at least 12 people and sending some eventgoers scrambling for cover while others rushed to help the victims.
