Biked with other members of the @pph_collective to a meeting down the Broad Street bike trail. Thank you to @PVDStreets and @_holyspokes for all the advocacy and hard work keeping the people of Providence safe.

This is the right move. I can only hope that @RIPTA_RI keeps the mask mandate for a while longer especially because many of the riders are either less likely to be vaccinated or are more medically vulnerable (kids, older folks, unhoused/unstably housed folks, etc).

My sone is gay. Sexuality is private and nothing has stopped him from becoming a psychiatrist for children with special needs and their parents. If a candidate is capable of denigrating or disparaging a person at this level, they cannot serve us.

There is a serious question as to whether we should give Morgan's bill air time when there is no way it can pass. On one hand, it gives foder to alt-right, white supremacist thinking. On the other, we need to show communities that we will stick up for them no matter what.

Might not seem like a lot, but RI went from .5% to a 1% positivity rate for COVID over the past week. That is a doubling. Numbers are small, but this will grow. We cannot keep pretending that the pandemic is over.

I work at the School of Public Health and I can see that this bike lane is already improving bike and pedestrian safety immensely. @Jorge_Elorza do not cave to RIDOT. This is a great and necessary project.

Update: As of this morning, it appears South Water St. project is nearly finished. Seems there’s not much left to be done except for a bit of concrete pouring, and there are grates for storm drains stacked alongside street. Photo snapped around 7:10am. No work being done.

Happy Passover! This is a holiday that celebrates freedom from tyranny. It's a good reminder that we need to keep fighting until ALL people are free from oppression.

Really ashamed that Brown keeps arresting peaceful protesters who want to stop genocide. I feel this as an alumn and a current employee. Brown should not infliting state violence on students who want peace.

JUST-IN: The 41 students sitting in at University Hall were arrested by Providence Police, says the Brown Divest Coalition. That marks more than 60 arrests of pro-Palestinian protesters on campus this year.

The case rate has doubled in the last 7 days. This far exceeds any numbers we have hit before. Can we stop going about business as usual?

I hope Avedisian loses his license, spends his next 6 months taking RIPTA and then understands how important it is to fund:

RIPTA CEO Scott Avedisian to be charged with leaving the scene of hit-and-run crash in Warwick,...

The executive, who was formerly the mayor of Warwick, was driving his RIPTA-issued black Ford SUV at the time of the crash.
