The fight at the White House was the most open and blatant example—so far—of Trump and his allies mingling personal financial interests with the institution of the presidency.

I’ll be back for the RI-VRA! #back4RIVRA

Scott Pelley said, hours before an episode of 60 Minutes on the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti was set to air, Bari Weiss sent an email asking for changes to the episode: "Can we make the protesters look more violent?"

FDA says 6 months for study, but they already have the conclusion. They need that much time to find more ludacrous non-experts to circulate their talking points on restricting mifepristone. Most of them are already shilling for other ridiculous positions. www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-lau...

Commuting with a tree! Thanks to the Arbor Day Foundation for my new cherry tree.

This legislation would help open the door for faith communities to create much-needed affordable homes across Rhode Island by allowing residential development on underused religious property. A small zoning change with the potential for a big community impact.

Getting plans off of the page and into the streets takes a community raising their voices! Talk to your neighbors and elected leaders about making these plans a reality, consider serving on the MBPAC! Head to our linktree to read the plans or apply! linktr.ee/providencest...

Crypto bloggers bragged about how they got into the Mar-a-Lago gala with trading strategies that meant they spent as little as $500 on #$TRUMP, so this could actually be a really cheap way to see the WC final. Or the "World Football 2026 Final Game" as the website calls it...

‼️ Reminder: Reimagining Cathedral Square meeting is Tuesday at 5:30pm at 444 Westminster St (Doorley Building)

Trump claimed it would cost $1.8 million to paint the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue. The Interior Department then moved to pay a Virginia firm called Atlantic Industrial Coatings $13.1 million for the job a 628% increase over Trump’s stated figure.

1/ Must read @ariberman.bsky.social on the Supreme Court's destruction of the Voting Rights Act and its continuing project to roll back the Civil Rights era: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act. Tomorrow, @importantmeagan.bsky.social digs into the implications. Earlier this week, @nycjayjay.bsky.social looked at the growing MAHA-MAGA rift. And @toddbeeton.bsky.social sees signs that FL, OH, and IA are poised to become swing states again.

This is happening here this weekend, families on bikes.... Is good stuff bsky.app/profile/epic...

Modernized eugenics is the same old bigoted white supremacy it has always been. You can hear it in school committees here in RI. Most communities push back, but some embrace the horror. When you hear or see something, say something. But don't pretend you didn't hear or see it.

Today, Trump signed H.J. Res. 140 into law revoking a 20-year mining ban in the Boundary Waters watershed.

Soundtrack for the weekend. Shout out to Woody Guthrie and his 'machine that kills fascists', AKA his guitar.

Worth the repost on the topic. This is Montana. Their state constitution protects Montanans. All of them.

Fast action needed in RI! the House Speaker is asking members for their priority bills today. Can you email, text or call your own state Rep and ask them to prioritize the RI VRA in their top 3 when asked! Who is my Rep? vote.sos.ri.gov/Home/Polling...

Montana does the math, stating the obvious. So should RI.

💪🚌It’s the big one! A flurry of transit bills will come before the all-important House Finance Committee on Tuesday, a key milestone in the fight to Save RIPTA this session! 💥Check out our action alert below for details on each of the bills! prod.cdn.everyaction.com/emails/van/E...

“The right size for RIPTA is the size where a bus comes when you need it, and promptly delivers you to the place you need to go. The right size for a vision for Rhode Island is one that dreams big, and delivers, not one that tells people just to wait a little longer.”

Parking mandates might sound harmless, but they quietly shape our neighborhoods and Main Streets. Requiring more parking than a building calls for drives up costs and takes up space that could be homes, daycares, parks, or the small businesses that make our communities thrive.

ONE WEEK AWAY: We hope you will be able to join us for our Earth Day Clean Up at Veterans Memorial Parkway on Saturday, April 18th from 1-3pm.

DHS deported a US citizen to Mexico. Brian Morales is 25 years old who was born in Denver. Pulled over in Texas with his construction crew. Didn’t have his ID on him and told officers he could get his birth certificate, Social Security card, and medical records from home.

Getting ready for OTC Pill Day? Celebrate, but be vigilant, as the minority patriarchy is working to take this away.

We hope you will join us *next* Saturday, April 18th for our 2nd Annual Earth Day Park Clean up on the East Bay Bike Path. 🌎 RSVP here: www.facebook.com/events/94918...
