The good thing about Bluesky is that you are not actively supporting the evildoers by subscribing. In fact, it’s important that enough people participate in a forum that’s not owned by Zuckerberg or Musk in order to maintain a viable alternative!

Hi Andy! How did I not know this about you?!!

Please close the $10 million RIPTA funding gap. Functioning states need functioning public transit. The Independent Man would agree!

A transit bus sits atop the red paint of a busway as passengers wait to board. A tall brick building, trees under an evening sky are visible in the background. Shelters and signage are visible in the foreground.

People getting onto the 35 bus to East Providence and Pawtucket currently. This bus would be eliminated completely on Sundays.

@govdanmckee.bsky.social can prevent this if he wanted.

Thank you for calling this out! -and for describing this bill as what it is, instead of playing into the GOP’s hands by using their euphemistic name for the BBB!

Thousands protest the Trump administration in India Point Park. Signs read “the wrong ICE is melting” and “no fuKing way”

#NoKingsProtest in rainy #Providence yesterday!

Here we go again with the left’s circular firing squad. Booker isn’t perfect, and I’m troubled by his vote not to block arms to Israel, but it wasn’t consequential, and he isn’t the real enemy here and now.

I like Flickr for photo sharing. I guess it’s owned by Yahoo? Their politics are definitely better than Meta.

Nothing about Trump and Musk’s cuts to NIH and USaid or HHS Secretary RFK Jr’s dangerous anti vaccine policies?

He owns more than half the commercial real estate in Providence, so this should come as no surprise.

@schumer.senate.gov @kenmartin.bsky.social and other Democratic leaders need to understand that Trump won not because republicans are popular, but because the current democrats are unpopular enough that voters couldn’t be bothered to come out to vote for them.

Nothing about the Continuing Resolution to fund this administration’s continued pillaging of our government? Where is the leadership?

Thank you. Democrats cannot collaborate with this criminal administration by weakly acquiescing to their immoral plans. If Trump wants a shutdown, we should give it to him. It’s time for new leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is embarrassing and scary. Democrats cannot collaborate with this criminal administration.

I couldn’t disagree more. We can’t allow these rogue Republicans to break every rule in the book, and then continue to play nice as if this is a normal administration. Federal workers and the American people are already suffering, and they will suffer a lot more if Democrats don’t do their jobs.

May 1?
