What a wonderful piece about Sandra Cano, an absolute gem of a person and candidate. How is it she does so much without drinking coffee? And she and @JamesDiossa are a compelling Rhode Island love story.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you @DanMcGowan for the opportunity to share a bit of my perspective with you - I really enjoyed our conversation. This is a very thoughtfully written piece 🙏🏽

Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour, last night at Gillette Stadium, was the stuff of legends. At over 3 hours long — and with the epitome of cool Phoebe Bridgers as an opener, I’m wide awake after 3 hours of sleep digging through my crappy videos to TRY to do the show justice.

Thanks, @schealthri . My mother had a fall last night and was treated with kindness while getting stitches. She and the medical staff were quoting ‘Of Mice and Men’ and my retired English teacher mom was tickled pink by it all. Mom is much better and talking politics already.

I want to thank MAGA for the gift of laughter. In what feels like a lifetime of Trump ugliness, he nailed it with this tacky, cheap, and unstructured design. Soles with no soul. Shoe me the money! The jokes write themselves.

I’m happy Biden won the RI primary. I’m happy that those who voted uncommitted exercised their right to vote and made a statement. Unlike the Rhode Island GOP, let’s get along. We must work to make sure Biden is elected, Trump can never happen again.

Today is our 17th wedding anniversary. Quietly celebrating with chores, my husband was just stung about 15 times while mowing the lawn. Tell me this isn’t a much deeper commentary on the sting of matrimony. P.S. To help our marriage, my hubs left Twitter. That’s love!

My son Beckett finished 3rd place in JV States for Rhode Island wrestling yesterday. Representing North Kingstown, a town we adore, was extra sweet. I never knew a 12-hour day of sports could be so cool. Go Skippers.

Happy 55 birthday to Dave Grohl and a gentle reminder to him to stay alive forever. Dave Grohl is every GenX’s deserved older brother and his existence may contribute to keeping our souls alive. No pressure, Mr. Grohl.

@BillBartholomew This is the man in the beginning. He is a freedom fighter and was asked to leave a North Kingstown School Committee meeting for using a bullhorn.

I’m a North Kingstown parent and my biggest concern is keeping my super cool kids away from people like this. Keep trying, book banners and we’ll all keep winning. 😜

There are other books that may be of concern to you if you are a North Kingstown, RI parent. How not to be a racist literature is available and if that's not enough, there are after school anti-racist clubs like REA to talk about 'microagressions'.

This garbage human being @ThomasJTobin1 is threatening a small Rhode Island shop’s livelihood. My daughter works at @AlliesDonuts and they treat their staff like GOLD. I’ll eat my donut instead of communion this Sunday. Bishop Tobin is a disgrace.

I declared my candidacy today for being angry at the world but endlessly amused by myself. P.S. Narcissists are never really alone.
