On Saturday, DARE is hosting a neighborhood cleanup in Olneyville and southern Mt. Pleasant.

Attorney General Neronha insists Rhode Island Energy pay consumers what they are owed: www.riag.ri.gov/press-releases/attorney-general-neronha-insists-rhode-island-energy-pay-consumers-what-they-are

A president so stupid that one of the great intellectual achievements of his life is “passing” a dementia screening. A president so narcissistic that he can’t stop bragging about passing that dementia screening as evidence of his immense genius.

I joined @lindaujifusa.bsky.social & @samuelwbell.bsky.social & @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social to advocate for an improved Medicare single payer program, instead of Medicare dis-Advantage  plans that take advantage of the most vulnerable www.providencejournal.com/story/opinio...

I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

House Republicans have been on vacation for 37 days. The government is shut down and health care costs are exploding. Cancel the vacation, and let's get back to Washington. We have work to do.

INBOX: Here is Amy Joseph Santiago’s official announcement for her RI House District 7 campaign. She also touts endorsements from Councilman @msanchezpvd.bsky.social state Sen. @samuelwbell.bsky.social and the outgoing state Rep./Providence mayoral candidate @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social.

Sanders: They have refused to negotiate. And anyone thinks that tomorrow they'll suddenly start negotiating. I think, is smoking what is illegal in many states AOC: And should be legal in more.

The whole ballgame (for American democracy) will depend on whether enough Americans--within the elites and on the streets--care enough to get involved wherever they can to resist Trump's march toward authoritarianism.

You’re right, but it’s not hard to see how an anti-Trump protest movement that turns out nearly 2% of the US population is both historically notable and has massive potential energy, if highlighted and harnessed by leaders and institutions instead of largely avoided by them

In RI, the No Kings Rally will be at 1pm this Saturday (October 18th) at the statehouse. All across our country, Americans will be rallying to say, “Hell no!” to a fascist king. Here in America, we have no kings!

The deportation order derives from the crime of which he has now been exonerated. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat. Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

As FBI Dir Comey comes to answer charges of lying to Congress, MAGA Bondi fails to cover FBI Dir Patel’s lies to Congress.

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

WHITEHOUSE: How many suspicious activity reports did you investigate out of the hundreds related to accounts of Jeffrey Epstein? BONDI: I'm not sure if you're concerned, because you took money I believe from Reid Hoffman, if that's correct WHITEHOUSE: You seem to have looked at 0 of them

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

This is absolutely happening to the Trump admin, the problem is that the exact same dynamic has brainwashed the media and the Democrats, who are in the same bubbles. If institutions were reacting appropriately to Trump’s authoritarian excesses and demagogic lunacy, he’d be even more unpopular

This might be the worst ICE video yet, because it’s literally random dudes hanging around, and then a bunch of heavily armed thugs running them down completely out of nowhere, because they’re brown. It’s a nightmare that would have seemed excessive in Jim Crow. Everyone in America should see this.

The complete and total bullshit about this is that it should have been the FIRST question asked of Johnson. It is a disgrace that he was not asked about this before he ended his press conference. Unbelievable that he continues to get away with this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

will never get over the Washington Post Editorial Board recommending confirming Pam Bondi

Remember when the Boston Globe ran this supposedly over-the-top front page to attack the idea of Trump ever being president, and now this is just the news every day? We've fallen so, so far because of this man

Great op-ed by @jackiegoldman.bsky.social. While I support @sabinamatos.bsky.social’s work on hunger and food deserts, her Israel views have long been problematic. With the famine in Gaza, backing up the Netanyahu regime in yet another trip to Israel is especially irresponsible. t.co/mv4OFjzEZJ

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Yes, McKee sucks, but we should not listen to people out of state who haven’t learned about the truly evil things Helena Foulkes did to push opioids when she ran CVS pharmacy. No Democrat should ever support Foulkes. We deserve someone who isn’t terrible.

Jennings: Biden in a in a politico story, was reported to have been fuming to anyone who would listen that Garland was not moving fast enough Mockler: He was publicly fuming privately?

More on rollover elites: “It’s astonishing how spineless the masters of the universe and big bad billionaires really are, … it’s pretty clear they will not stand up for anything.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/b...

Kimmel won, kind of makes me think the pushback works, just like it did in 2016

This is Trump’s fault but it’s also Democrats’ fault: when the initial wave of resignations happened after the Adams quid pro quo, the next logical step in the ladder of escalation was for the opposition to rain fire and brimstone down on the corrupt admin. Instead… nothing happened. Silence.

until there's a Republican congress and a Democratic president, in which case it will suddenly be very important. the country cannot function as a real democracy with corrupt, partisan serial liars controlling the Supreme Court; it has to be the first priority of a new administration.

Another example of Ezra Klein believing and repeating complete nonsense because he consumes huge amounts of right-wing propaganda

Here are two of the most influential people in liberal media, David Remnick and Ezra Klein, telling each other outright lies about what the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate said because years of exposure to conservative grievance media pounded the original facts of the case out of their skulls

Again, a Bush US attorneys level scandal is like the fourth most infuriating story on a random Friday.

NEW: A forensic audit the McKee administration has refused to release for more than a year shows state officials should have been aware of growing structural issues tied to the westbound Washington Bridge long before it abruptly closed in December 2023 www.wpri.com/target-12/fo...

The indictment of James Comey proves that being a sycophantic wuss who bends over backwards to accommodate Trump will not stop him from trying to throw you in jail in a political prosecution. Probably makes it easier because it shows weakness.

A divide in journalism right now that's worth watching is between reporters who understand how bad things are but are mindful of their reputation and not wanting to be perceived as too extreme or hyperbolic and reporters who feel things are so urgent they have to use urgent, clear language.

Yes. And there are also a lot of mainstream news orgs where accurate descriptions of the direness of the situation fall outside of acceptable guidelines, because it will be perceived as shrill, panicked, biased, etc. So they normalize and/or downplay.

Do any of the professors or journalists or teachers also get their jobs back or nah

It’s only a rendering, but isn’t the prettiest is a big understatement.

Also, in my opinion, the building isn’t the prettiest. Here’s a promotional rendering.

Well that was fast! With Pryor illegally serving as Commerce Secretary, we’re back to corporate welfare for luxury housing.

We are building a movement. Brett Smiley is panicking. His record: • Creating an affordability crisis • Illegally underfunding our schools Our neighbors are tired of politicians who say they know best but don’t listen to our needs. We deserve a Mayor who cares about us.

🚨 Dr. Susan Monarez, the fired head of the CDC, just testified that RFK Jr. told her that Trump backed his move to weaken childhood vaccine standards. Just in case anyone was believing the bs about there being any real distance between RFK and Trump on vaccine conspiracies.

For the people who say there’s no money out there

lol new clown car just rolled up
