Pro-choice Democrat, views are my own, mom to sons, pro mental health and I'm on EG town council (but still these represent me - no one else)
We're so used to beautiful sunsets at the beach but this is also beautiful and it's also Rhode Island
This isn't great but it also makes me wonder - where is Vic Mellor getting his $ from? Who are his biggest donors? @tednesi.bsky.social. RIGOP distanced themselves from him I thought?
This is a member of the RIGOP making racist statement about a duly elected Lt. Governor who came from nothing. And why isn't the RIGOP being asked about their continued support of Ms Bessinger - a woman whose own students complained about her behavior.
If this isn't an apt description of every GOP group everywhere www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/07/m...
Seriously @nbc10wjar.bsky.social ? There's a crisis in affordability in this country and the president and his cronies are making money off our tax dollars and still you buy into these unfounded lies? Once again corporate media lets us down
Hey your birthday party balloons don't float off to heaven, they end as litter in our natural spaces
West Greenwich, the last town not to have a Democratic committee, just started one! Please share www.facebook.com/share/14h9Z3...
This is an easy to read overview of East Greenwich's budget (please share). We are going over the 4% cap this upcoming year, closer to 7%, due to the debt payment on the voter approved school bond;
The East Greenwich Town Council is looking at a potential 7+% tax increase for the 2027 tax year. This is the first year we will begin paying back the $150M school construction project bond.
Apparently RIGOP's best rep thinks this 17yr old who won a contest for her AP English paper and read it at the Memorial Day remembrance is less than nothing and her voice is nothing. Btw his colleagues all weighed in the same. Why is this middle aged man so bitter about a child?
This candidate for RI governor apparently didn't follow any of the budget meetings from years past. The tax increase due to the $150M school bond repayments were known and discussed. His own party locally thought the amount should be higher than $150M.
I like this whine. 1) in EG (not sure if he's talking about EG) the admin makes any decision about parades. So party politics is bs. 2) typically we have people marching in uniforms with expensive musical instruments - that could cost them 3) What a baby. Anyone can just work the crowd.
Why is the old guard of the RIGOP immune to the hate that his party promotes? The party has pushed anti-black, anti brown anti LGBTQ+, anti-Muslim, anti Hispanic, misogyny etc. And why isn't local media holding them accountable?
I am extremely grateful that my son came home from Afghanistan this Memorial Day -
Can we talk about the lack of sidewalks or consistent sidewalks in this state on state roads? This gentleman is walking along Rt 2 on the West Warwick side (the Warwick side is just as bad). There's not even a crosswalk. Why is RIDOT so crappy at infrastructure?
We put our 15 yr old lab down on Monday and our 9 yr border collie wouldn't eat. I typically feed them in order of age so the oldest got food first. I realized that the Collie was waiting to be fed second so now I have to pretend to feed our lab and then feed the Collie in order to get him to eat.
We put our beautiful girl down on Monday. She was 14-15 yrs old (adopted in 2012) and looked gorgeous to the end. It's the passing of an era. She was my kids' teenage years dog. I just needed to share her pic one more time.
Today is stupid RIGOP posts Ashley Kalus makes fun of the guy dressed as a KKK dude in WW - a town with the most diverse population in Kent County and then says she can't be racist because she's a religious minority
Dunkin is literally the most trash you find on the side of the road in Rhode Island except for Fireball. When will Rhode Island do something about plastic litter?
Mike Chippendale calling out the deficit in NYC and complaining about socialism while struck silent about Republican Cranston suffering the same deficit issues.
Today in hypocritical X posts - 1) Ashley Kalus posting about environmental justice concerns while representing a party that dismantled the environmental justice program at the EPA (And proudly announced it) www.epa.gov/newsreleases...
RIGOP and their candidates are correctly pointing out how poor oversight has been. There was no excuse for keeping Alviti on as long as he was and there should be an audit.
There shouldn't be any question about who the League of RI Businesses are working for or with and this should come up in their candidates' campaigns
What does Rhode Island Department of environmental Management actually manage? At the Hopkins Hill Sand and gravel which is DEM owned property, trucks are in and out all day long from Vinagro. I've never seen a DEM official here to verify what they're dumping in the middle of a DEM owned property.
Can we just point out how completely awful this post is? The RIGOP Rep Chippendale touting the hiring practices of EB while neglecting to mention that a pointless war that got them the contract and the loss of lives and the wounded, the cost of gasoline and a moron who's leading this:
