The planters still look good though!

Driving violations seen on short AM errand jaunt in Providence: 2 delivery trucks & 1 cop parked in S Water St bike lane, car on S Main St nearly mowing down person in crosswalk, cars way past stop line inching forward at red light at N Main St, van parked in Olney St bike lane. A typical AM.

Slide saying “The truth about a city’s aspirations isn’t found in its vision. It’s found in its budget.”

“In my work with cities, one of my messages that resonates most is that the truth about the cities aspirations isn’t found in its plans and visions. It’s found in its budget.

A budget may be the most powerful public policy lever a Council has, and the most authentic one because It reveals so much.”

Sometimes I think about how on J6 Trump told the rioters “We love you, you’re very special.” Then he pardoned all the convicted criminals as one of his first acts as president.

Now he walks through Home Depot parking lots trying to spot folks w/darker skin to harass.

The License Plate Game Why do students from faraway places need to bring their cars to Providence and drive to their classes?

Rally and food drive calls attention to SNAP cuts, food insecurity, and the strain on local food banks "They aren’t just cutting SNAP, they’re raising rents, underfunding schools, and making healthcare unaffordable. This isn’t about saving money; it’s about them getting a thrill..."

Got my covid & flu shots today! CVS is still giving a $10 off a $20 purchase coupon w/jabs. Bonus the Hope St Providence RI location had Halloween candy 75% off. So I got shots & a cheap bag of snickers today.

Some of the bribery is only public because they like ostentatious gifts like gold bars and trophies.

Doubt Summers only started being a creep from the date of this surfaced email exchange w/Epstein.

Is Harvard looking to end all ties with Summers? Looking at past emails he sent via his Harvard address? Looking into grading & advancement of his male vs female students? Summers needs to be far away from any positions of power. Creepers shouldn’t be teachers.

The generous interpretation is that Larry Summers is a sex creep. A less generous interpretation is that he's a sexual harasser. The least generous interpretation is that he's a sexual predator.

Any interpretation is sufficient to shun him from polite company and to vanquish him from public life

Get him @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social

And just last week he was saying you guys were the problem

Andrew Taake, who was serving time for taking part in the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, benefited from Trump’s broad pardons in two ways thanks to an unusual deal first reported by The Daily Beast. Taake was convicted of attacking a police officer at the Capitol with bear spray and a whip during the riots. He had also previously been charged in Harris County, Texas, with sending explicit photos and messages to someone who he thought was a 15-year-old girl, and he was out on bond when he took part in the riots. The “girl” on the Plenty of Fish dating site Taake was communicating with was an undercover police officer, and he didn’t stop messaging her after learning her age. But thanks to the time he served for January 6 before Trump’s pardon, most of which was in pretrial detention, Taake accrued about three years and seven months of “credit,” for his earlier sex crimes, according to Harris County court documents. Taake was only sentenced for his crimes at the Capitol last summer, and thanks to Trump’s blanket pardon, was released from the federal ADX Florence supermax prison in January just months into his six-year term.

I just never answer my phone now unless someone schedules with me beforehand. I’ve got 400+ such scam voicemails on my phone right now.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

Me on Trump as a fascist, free to read (as if anyone will)

As a parent of a 12 year old who’s still losing baby teeth, 15 is still a kid.

My child recently turned 12. She still has baby teeth that have yet to fall out. What creepy people are trying to argue that kids 3 years older than her are practically adults?

Here’s something that’s really important for everyone to understand.

If we design our cities just for cars, they fail everyone, including drivers.

If we design our cities with many great CHOICES in how to get around, they work better for everyone, including drivers.

Spread the word.

This is brilliant.

Freshly picked peppers.

My pepper plants didn’t get the memo that their season is done. It’s cold & dark now in RI. They’re still throwing fresh blossoms. Finally picked all the plant babes trying to do their thing.

I’d like more Dems to fight for Americans to have the same basic standard of living that’s now the norm in the rest of the wealthy world. Free healthcare. Generous paid vacation. Paid family leave, etc.

Trump is opening an "investigation" because that precludes DOJ from being allowed to release the files.

‘That Sucks’: Trump and the GOP Thought They Survived the Epstein Scandal. It’s Back Trumpland is annoyed that GOP lawmakers aren’t running effective interference for the president and are getting ‘played by Democrats.’

I have a relative in the small sliver of under 64, bachelor’s degree, not working. She’s disabled from a stroke before she turned 50.
