Reason #1,327,333 why #ILoveRI - we got serious problems, but we also have folks in politics who move beyond stale political divisions. Thx @Jorge_Elorza @MackDistrict6 @SamuelWBell for your various contributions in #SeekingJustice providencejournal.com/story/… & @antoniafarzan 4story

Yeah.
Kids in cages? Whatever.
Obscene inequality? Whatever
Millions without healthcare? Whatever.
Systemic racism? Whatever.
Climate emergency? Whatever.

Whew. I know folks are tired but I’m over here thinking about how we can not allow the GOP to retake the Senate or the House in 2022. And we have to fight them in every local election too. The fight is not over. We have to keep beating them back like a bushfire right now.

We’ve played four years of defense, fighting for scraps. Now we must go on offense, and start fighting for a living wage, universal healthcare, a Green New Deal, true human rights reform, free and fair elections, democratic economies, and so much more. It starts today. @UpriseRI

I don’t want to hear these coup-supporting GOP talk about “blue lives” ever again.
They never cared about safety.
Never cared about “law & order.”
And certainly do not care for democracy.
They only care for power, & invited chaos in an effort seize it. They are unfit to serve.

Everyone forgive yourselves for not functioning normally in the midst of a raging pandemic, failing economy & nation teetering on full out civil war.

Funny thing about “facts.” They are by definition true things. Not accepting them makes one delusional, and even dangerous. Certain facts are tough, like ‘we’re all gonna die someday’ or ‘Trump is a traitor.’ Still facts though. Grow up. @UpriseRI

What we witnessed yesterday is part of a long-standing tradition of racist ritual violence wherein white civilian mobs are enabled by authorities to rage for a period of time unencumbered & with little to no legal consequence in order to reinforce the racial hierarchy. 1/

The FBI visited my house today. They arrested a man in Idaho on weapons charges who they believe was affiliated with white supremacist groups. They found my name on a list in his home, alongside others.

If you are interested in mourning the loss of & celebrating the life of Ruther Bader Ginsburg right now, a few of us are on our way to the RI State House to grieve together this sad night. 🖤 (Please wear your mask, of course.)

“The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”

"He had a knife." "He used a counterfeit $20 bill." "He was selling loose cigarettes." "He was playing with a toy gun in the park." "He walked home." "She was driving down to her new job." "She was asleep in her own house." "He complied and reached for his license, registration."

How the f**k do you handcuff Jacob Blake that you paralyzed to a hospital bed after you shot him in the back seven times?
I oppose a system where the perpetrators of attempted murder get to handcuff their victim. No system should have this much power. You can't reform this.

Our bail fund is running very low on money, but we are still getting requests that we want to fulfill!! We believe that nobody should be in a cage, and that abolition is the only way forward.
Help us #FreeThemAll if you can by donating via CashApp at $fangbailfund. Thank you!!!

Congratulations on this important bill! Only one senator voted against all loving families. Thankfully, there’s someone running against her who who believes love is love: @Volpinator1.

I have watched @JenRourke29 work tirelessly for years advocating for reproductive rights. This refusal to acknowledge the unpaid hours of labor she gave to pass the RPA is unconscionable and unacceptable. As a result, today I am declining my 2020 endorsement from @ppvotesri. – at Rhode Island, USA
