Need hope? Nine brilliant young/youngish assistant attorneys general from Rhode Island, California, Illinois, Mass. were in a Rhode Island federal courtroom working together to use the law to kick Trump’s ass and fight for Americans and our democracy. Just win baby.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Feeling despair? Hopelessness? Doom? Donate to legit Ukrainian charities that save lives and also help to turn russians into "good russians" and you will feel better. Or at least share the fundraisers as not everyone can donate.

I listened to Dan's interview with Gov.McKee. Incredibly disappointing. He does not sound like a Governor who is up for the defense of #RhodeIsland. Wishy-washy and afraid to speak bluntly. www.997wpro.com/dan-yorke/

I'm about to drop a piece at The Atlantic on this Pentagon purge. As I warned, Trump is capturing Justice, Intelligence, the military. This is praetorianism, pure and simple.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

@wpri12.bsky.social This is exciting information. Wonderful to hear of real benefits of science. Now it seems the logical follow-up would be to ask if their research can continue or is the funding being taken? www.wpri.com/health/pancr...

Gift link. The actual story of the shackled people being deported without even being told where they were being taken — maybe to countries where they’d face torture or death — while their terrified children cried.😢 The White House posted that pic with “ASMR” tag. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...
