Taking a break from this wretched hive of scum and villainy.
#NewProfilePic – at East Providence, RI

As painful as it is, and has been, I have worried that the response will increase suffering.
On Monday night at the JCC vigil, Rabbi Goldwasser reminded us, it is our duty to make order from chaos and seek goodness. – at East Providence, RI
These words from my father remind us that violence is a descending spiral and a destructive force that leaves behind a trail of suffering, hate, and desolation, affecting generations to come. As you read them, please consider how we each can be a purveyor of true peace.

This is from the same leaders blocked the @RISenate Resolution against antisemitism earlier this year.

American politicians, especially local/state officials do not owe anybody a statement on the Israel-Gaza war.
Pitting RIers against one another does nothing to help us here, and does nothing to help the dire impact of this on Israeli and Palestinian civilians. – at East Providence, RI
This man is a sitting state legislator and a DSA member. Do Rhode Island members of the DSA support his comments? Why or why not? Will any RI reporter ask elected RI DSA members and/or candidates these questions?

In a rational world, it could go unsaid that beheading babies and burning civilian families alive is not “retaliation” for oppressive government policies and action.
But we are not experiencing a rational world, and people are blaming the victims. – at East Providence, RI
My stomach is churning at the images coming from Kibbutz Kfar Aza. 40 Babies slaughtered and beheaded. The people who committed these massacres are evil. There is no moral universe in which such savagery can be justified. My heart is broken. Just broken. thejc.com/news/israel/hamas-…

Hamas is not “resisting.” They are not fighting for freedom. They are terrorizing.
Their actions are being dismissed because their victims are Jews. – at East Providence, RI

My broken heart is full.
Powerful vigil this evening. Appreciate a strong showing from elected officials and clergy members from congregations across the state.
The most powerful words came from 3 Israelis living in our community. The pain paired w/resolve.
Am Yisrael Chai!

I was so glad when I saw @JBoylan4RI share this event. I had no idea about this awesome resource we have in RI.
Check out @risbhub!

So inhumane for the governor and this Mayor to give the order for this type of mistreatment of Michael.
Criminalizing homelessness is not the solution.
After years of sleeping outside, he's ready for a room. Will there be one available? providencejournal.com/story/…
The folks who don't want to see policy changes support clean energy in lieu of disastrous fossil fuels point to dead whales and decry offshore wind.
But those same people prevent regulations to combat the "deadliest predator in the sea."

After barely engaging during primary, calling for 12 debates during 2 months of a special election looks like a set-up. However many Amo participates in, it won't be enough for the other side.
They want to control the narrative. Amo is engaging w/the people he'll represent.
.@GerryLeonardRI (R) to hold a presser tomorrow morning calling on CD1 opponent Gabe Amo (D) to agree to more debates

Hopefully not lost: manufacturers "agreed to give battery-powered equipment to the town at no cost."
Whethera ban is enacted or buy-back is extended, our DPW prob does the most lawncare in town. We can't miss the chance to transition to electric w/donated equipment!
Dog obituaries and now this:
"Barrington committee calls for ban on gas-powered equipment"

Last I checked, it would be heresy to imply the Founders were deities.
The Second Amendment is not a “G-d-given right.” It is a government regulation that needs stricter parameters. – at Boca Raton, FL

I’m other words, nearly half a billion dollars I’m undelivered services to Rhode Islanders.
Deficits are bad. Surpluses like this, in these socioeconomically dark times are even worse.
NEW: Flush times continue for RI government
The state ran a $410M surplus in the budget that ended June 30, or $41M more than expected
But @RISpeaker + @SenatorRuggerio tell me they're keeping a close eye on current trends with tax receipts and spending wpri.com/news/ri-budget-surp…

In a discussion about how to develop public property (acquired by a narrow vote of the town's voters), the Council's President admonished a resident for asking a question about that vote.
If he refuses to answer to residents, to whom is he accountable?
