ICED COFFEE

Are you getting top secret insider info from an anonymous agent hidden inside the Trump administration who is posting on BlueSky? No. No you are not. skepchick.org/2025/06/the-...

From a dear friend, a native Rhode Islander who just took a job elsewhere and moved away. Just days after the state leadership pointed fingers instead of owning their ongoing failure to fund our transit system (among other failures), I feel this in my bones.

from Hasbro to everyday Rhode Islanders, RIPTA’s chronic underfunding is actively pushing people away from our state. but our legislative leaders and governor seem to think more tax breaks will get people and businesses to stay. it’s inept at best, malicious at worst. RI deserves real leadership.

Exclusive: New York intends to build a large nuclear-power facility, the first new U.S. plant undertaken in more than 15 years.

they’re assembling the pervert megazord

Yet Luigi launched a thousand hand-wringing op-eds from the chattering class. Makes you think

Ah good, war. From my experience always a benefit to America.

Shocking NO votes: Sen. Bissaillon— North End of Providence. Sen. Urso—Pawtucket. Two crosstown routes 76 & 80 could be affected by cuts. Sen. Murray—Woonsocket, where RIPTA Routes 54 & 87 are lifelines for many folks. Sen. President Lawson—East Providence. Transit riders deserved better. 😞🚌

Rep Morales issues a FOIA seeking info on ICE activities in the state and urges an end to state law enforcement’s use of unmarked vehicles. "People have been kidnapped off the streets, families have been torn apart, and immigrants are being deported with no due process."

Yes good steveahlquist.substack.com/p/representa...

“Do nothing when RIDOT leadership allows a key bridge to crumble, beyond blaming everyone else but those in charge of the state agency. Keeping the RIDOT director, on whose watch this mess happened, as chair of the RIPTA board is the cherry on top.” 🔥🔥🔥 ecori.org/appalling-la...

definitely a sign of a healthy housing market

Me as a Rhode Islander watching our legislature consider cuts to vital services:

It is 1979 and the New York Times is attacking healthcare for trans people. It is 2025 and the New York Times is attacking healthcare for trans people. It is.....

now why did you cut off the rest of the statement…

Seems like most people on here are anti-evil. That's the kind of insular groupthink that loses elections :/

Feeling hopeless in the state where our motto is literally “Hope” 😞

GOP and establishment Dems lining up for a war in the Middle East?

first on-time arrival of the Amtrak Floridian

This photo. ICE is a gang.

The accused assassin allegedly used data brokers to track down the Democratic lawmakers he murdered. Congress doesn't need any more proof that selling data to anyone with a credit card is deadly. Every American's safety is at risk until Congress cracks down on data brokers.

The House today approved legislation sponsored by @karenalzate.bsky.social that would repeal the law that allows payday lending to operate in Rhode Island. More information: www.rilegislature.gov/pressrelease...

so where are we holding the mass trials after this administration? may i suggest block island?

Here's the great @steveahlquist.bsky.social's report on No Kings protests across Rhode Island yesterday, which includes lots of photos and videos. Nobody covers protests in RI better than Steve.

the way the far right is blatantly lying and trying to blame the assassination of democrats on democrats is one of the most disgusting things I have ever seen

there are no words to describe the feeling waking up in minneapolis this morning. we live in terrifying times.

The suspected assassin, Vance Boelter was the CEO a security services group in central Africa and the CEO of Praetorian Guard Security Services based in Minnesota.

Public libraries are one of the *actually* great things about this country. This is the Pawtucket, R.I. Public Library, where I spent some time today.

never kill yourself you must outlive the terrorist state of israel

“There’s politics, and then there’s the indefensible. Rhode Island Senate President Val Lawson has the power to ban assault-style firearms right now. Don’t let anyone tell you differently. No one else matters. There’s no secret bogeyman preventing her from bringing the bill to a vote.”

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.

We don't really have a free or functioning press if they are required to pretend not to know conclusively that Stephen Miller is an avowed white supremacist

“The report attempts to strike an unachievable balance, ranking routes like they are players to be cut or traded, while calling low performing routes “lifelines” and highlighting how any cuts to service will undoubtedly harm individual users.” 🗞️Read our latest Op-Ed with RI Transit Riders ⤵️

we need to increase immigration. we have not replaced enough white people yet

The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.

But he’s just like my grandpa 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪

Thanks yet again jack reed and the rest of the SASC Dems

“live free* or die” *restrictions apply

Yes every conservative social media site becomes a tropical rainforest of school shooters and Ponzi schemes but did you know that there is a left-wing social media site where people are rude to the nation’s center-right political pundits

so, “Disney Stands with Stephen Miller, ICE”

I’ve said it before but it is embarrassing that so many intellectuals spent years in small factional battles over the propriety of calling this fascism.

Minneapolis: If you're seeing what's happening in LA, we need to start thinking realistically about what we need to do when it's our turn. Tuesday was a test run. We cannot be caught off guard again. We are not done with attacks from this administration. Stay ready so we don't have to get ready.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

and they're doing this on REAGAN'S DEATH DAY???? HAPPY PRIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

not even approaching this from a moral angle (was is bad and there is a genocide taking place in gaza), “massive war causes health crises” should not be a controversial stance as it is based in fact zionism has absolutely broken people’s brains; or, more aptly, is functioning as intended
