As they should. www.utilitydive.com/news/senate-...

The smear campaign against Mustapha Kharbouch -- falsely accused of the Brown shooting and MIT murder by powerful politicians, pundits and plutocrats -- is a prime example of how pervasive racism has become. It's also a story largely ignored by the mainstream media www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

the main reward you are likely to get for total loyalty to trump is the destruction of your career and your reputation www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/n...

As I suspected, MA press conferences going to make RI's look bush league. (I can say that, because it's family. Nobody from MA better.)

Just incredible that a Reddit poster, as confirmed by the Attorney General, was the key witness who helped crack the Brown University and MIT shootings.

Oh it really was that redditor!

It would be nice if everyone who totally knew the profile and motive of this killer days ago (which conveniently matched their political persuasions) would learn a lesson from this. (They probably won't.)

Plot twist, they are mostly solar farms being started before the Admin takes away the clean energy tax credits.

PVD Police seeking help

As a Brown alum and Providence resident, I have been trying to find the right words to capture the vast grief layered across this community and the people who love it. In the end, I’m not sure if it’s really, fully possible to articulate. But I tried: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Seconded

And the helicopter is back.

This is important reporting from the Journal. And the headline is spot-on. It's unconscionable that Providence residents only got alerts from the city about a mass shooter at large *if they were opted in* to 311 alerts.

Major frustration I've heard is lack of notification texts to residents near Brown. Apparently some got 311 alerts. I've used 311 for years, and did not. I'll look for a toggle somewhere in the app.

This press conference could have been a post.

incredible things happening at the nazi bar

This had the neighborhood text threads lit up.... thank goodness.

When your “exclusive” lasts all of 7 hours, because you publicly named a guy who was never charged with a crime, and who now is being hounded by trolls, and will have this show up in internet searches for the rest of his life.

@wpri12.bsky.social has live feed on their website. Their reporters are doing a good and careful job covering.

I was told by the nuke bros that they'd never do this.

Polling: "Do you think the rich have too much political power in the U.S.?" Yes: 80% No: 8% Independent voters are 81%/6% on this; even Trump voters are 68%/18%. Maybe a political party could lead on this issue. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/ec...

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

I found this today (from Peter Kellner/YouGov) which answers part of your query.

Every 40-something seeing this news...

there is no available evidence that donald trump understands what a tariff is, what a trade deficit is, and what the national debt is.

Appreciate @oceanstatemedia.bsky.social reporting "struck and killed by a driver" rather than "by a car."

“We’re broken and we’re being poached by ICE... People are leaving in droves" Corrections officers are jumping ship for more lucrative jobs at ICE, which offers $50,000 starting bonuses, tuition reimbursement & better pay than the prison system ✏️ by: @keribla.bsky.social for @propublica.org

Not a bad gig, if you can get it...

Should be in Musk's obituary.

This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year. Led by the richest man on earth. In secret, on a weekend. With zero analysis or discussion of its catastrophic impacts.

That's right.

One factor in the "a moderate would have won" lazy punditry is that a candidate with charisma and personality who can connect matters as much or more than ideology. If that's the district's slant, and you had a centrist with that, maybe they'd win the primary.

Eye wateringly stupid

I’m proud to carry on Governor-elect Spanberger’s legacy and keep pushing for a full ban on Members of Congress trading stocks. 🫡 Don’t worry, gov – we’re not stopping until we get it done.

Clean energy is cheap, & clean energy can get built quickly, but the government is making it harder and more expensive to build clean energy. All at a time when AI data centers are spiking electricity demand. Demand is up & power supply is being constrained. It’s a crisis. youtu.be/f6536KWBZAc?...

Great work guys
