At @bostonlegacyfc.com game in Pawtucket. So much fun!!!

Mostly I let bullying go: people being nasty is a reflection of them, not me. Sadly, this blatant antisemitism is emboldened lately. But so we’re clear: I am not scared of well funded, highly conservative secret PACS, nor the contrarians they hire as cyberbullies, nor the candidates they support.

Billy Taylor Park is my favorite place to see the sunset. Thank you everyone who showed up at the signature gathering event @mackdistrict6.bsky.social and I held, including 3 candidates for city council (2 ward 3; 1 ward 2), 3 candidates for Attorney General, ….

The person in the middle is my State Representative, @rebeccakislak.bsky.social! The person on the right is State Senator @mackdistrict6.bsky.social, who represents the neighboring district just south of mine! 🤓

I was proud to join you, @rebeccakislak.bsky.social, @samzurier.bsky.social, @jenniferboylanri.bsky.social, @climateactionri.org, and so many other Rhode Islanders who take the climate catastrophe seriously 🌞🔥🌡️‼️

Data about traffic collisions will be declared a public record under legislation sponsored by Senator @meghankallman.bsky.social and Representative @rebeccakislak.bsky.social that has been signed into law. Learn more: rilegislature.gov/pressrelease...

Crash Data Reform officially becomes law! The legislation is a monumental victory for accountability, transparency and the fight for data-driven street safety! Thank you @rebeccakislak.bsky.social @meghankallman.bsky.social for fighting hard for this and to Governor McKee for signing it into law. 🎉

Fun Cape Verde fact: The tiny island country off the coast of Africa offers weekly nonstop flights to the United States. To which airport, you ask? Why, Providence, Rhode Island, of course!

If you talk about Michelle Obama today, please make it about this video

R.I. to make crash data public after years of secrecy. The @rihouseofreps.bsky.social and @risenate.bsky.social also passed three bills in response to ICE actions, prohibiting civil arrests at R.I. courthouses without a valid judicial warrant www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/11/m...

IT’S OFFICIAL: After passing the House (unanimously) and the Senate, Crash Data Reform is heading to the desk of Gov. McKee! Massive thank you to the volunteer led effort that started it all, & the dedicated leaders @meghankallman.bsky.social @rebeccakislak.bsky.social who carried it to the finish!

“Transparency about where crashes happen is in the best interest of the public and public safety,” Rep. @rebeccakislak.bsky.social said in a statement. “We should all know what is happening on our streets.” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/04/m...

We passed legislation to join 42 other states: crash data is public. “Transparency about where crashes happen is in the best interest of the public and public safety,” Kislak said in a statement. “We should all know what is happening on our streets.” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/04/m...

My favorite data centers are public libraries 📚 📖 one reason: our public libraries are free to all! Not “free trial” free. Not “free with ads” free. Not “free if you give us all of your data” free. just free.

Rhode Island General Assembly sends legislation to create new agency to oversee iconic Crook Point Bridge to Gov. McKee’s desk. Isn't this a pretty photo? By @ohnocastro.bsky.social rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/06/03/t...

This is such a big deal!! So grateful to @rebeccakislak.bsky.social for her tireless efforts fighting for common sense crash data transparency which has been central to @pvdstreets.org advocacy for years. On to the senate, and I’m so glad that @meghankallman.bsky.social has this one!! 💪💪💪

🚨 @rebeccakislak.bsky.social’s Access to Public Records bill, which makes traffic crash records public as 42 other states already do, passed out of the House committee unanimously, will now go to the floor for a vote! A Senate companion is still in committee but we hope it moves soon! 🎉

🚨 Tonight, the RI House passed 65-0 our Crash Data Reform legislation championed by @rebeccakislak.bsky.social, a major milestone advancing us one step closer to bringing Rhode Island in line with a vast majority of other states who make traffic crash data available to the public. 🧵

“The Crook Point Bridge is a beloved landmark in Providence,” said Rep. Rebecca Kislak, who sponsored the House legislation. “It deserves to live on, ideally in a way that increases public access and enjoyment of it.” www.wpri.com/news/politic...

@rihouseofreps.bsky.social votes 65 to 0 for @rebeccakislak.bsky.social bill to declare statewide crash data a public record. RIDOT has refused to release it.

North Main Street in Providence may be beautiful this time of year with all the trees blooming but it’s still a death trap. Thankfully Councilor @sueanderbois.bsky.social & the North Main Street Task Force are working to make it safer!!

Rep. Lima asked why control of the bridge is being given to an independent entity when RI has an “over-bloated” DOT. Rep. @rebeccakislak.bsky.social said DOT wanted to tear down the bridge and now PVD wants a chance "to make some other decisions for that landmark” www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/21/m...

Thanks to @steveahlquist.bsky.social for capturing our amazing, insightful, deliberative students' words. I want to live in the future these young people will build, not the one in which their elders make decisions based on fear. Our RIC students inspire me, & their voices deserve to be listened to.

"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." Thank you for this, @dariaphoebe.com!

Rhode Island should be next to ban data centers! Their negative environmental impacts are enormous.

Next Thursday, April 9, I'm giving a presentation about the Wyatt Detention Facility -- Rhode Island's main ICE detention center -- at Providence's First Unitarian Church. The event is free and open to the public. I'll be joined by Sophia de los Reyes from AMOR during the Q&A session.

This Trans Day of Visibility I’m thinking about the many fabulous trans people I know, and who I don’t, and who all add beauty to our world. Proud to work to make and keep R.I. a welcoming state.

📢🚨It’s a big week at the State House, from our Save RIPTA package, to Stop Super Speeders & public records reform, raise your voice in support of transit, transparency, and safe streets! Check out all of the bills and view testimony guides ⤵️ prod.cdn.everyaction.com/emails/van/E...

Sydney Keen testifying in favor of Ranked Choice Voting with really important argument. More candidates *should* be a good thing, but in current system will be dissuaded because “you’ll split the vote” Talks about RI01 race where 4 of 11 candidates were women of color.

“A shrunken RIPTA that delivers less service across the state — including up to 22 percent less weekend service — is clearly the wrong size.” Thank you @karenalzate.bsky.social & Sen. McKenney for this 🔥 commentary! 🚌❌The service cuts need to be reversed! www.bostonglobe.com/2026/03/23/m...

Proud to be governing with @mackdistrict6.bsky.social and @karenalzate.bsky.social and attending a bilingual press conference about the RIBLIA caucus 2026 priorities.

The potholes are real - we know. (I drove into a shockingly deep one a few days ago in the dark - I get it!). The City is working hard to patch but that’s not much consolation if you’ve popped a tire! Check out these resources if you’re looking for help. Link to the referenced map in the comments.

This looks like a lot of fun!

We should stop changing the clocks!!!

This is such a good explainer about how we pay for our power. Cutting efficiency incentives is exactly the wrong thing to do.

I have a handy RSVP form for my community meeting tomorrow night (forms.gle/iU3NqjK5PTgZ...) and so I know that someone wants to talk about the @rifoundation.bsky.social report on educational funding. And now I can do some homework to prepare! rifoundation.org/news/equaliz...

The documentary "The Librarians" is free to watch on YouTube. And I can't recommend it strongly enough.

Join me for a community meeting on Monday March 9. I will provide an update about this year's legislative session, hear from you about your priorities, do a quick know your rights session and we'll hear about volunteer opportunities to support immigrant communities in Rhode Island.
