(4.5) Reminder! You have something important to do today! The Hands Off! Mass Mobilization begins at Hope High at noon, heads down Thayer Street to Waterman, and down the hill over to Kennedy Plaza. The route is an estimated 1.2 miles. Do whatever part of the route you can. It might be wet and cold […]
(4.5) This is a good sign. What better place to kick off our angry blue wave than here at the Hope High School angry blue wave. Our Hands Off! march begins at Hope High (staging pre-march on the fields) then heads down to Kennedy Plaza opposite the federal buildings to make some noise. Do whatever
“I’m not a fan of anybody that protests anything . . .” So stated former Providence mayor and current Tesla landlord, Joseph Paolino. Many Democrats have taken offense at this profoundly un-American sentiment, particularly since he is National Committeeman of the Rhode Island Democratic Party! Indivisible RI is collecting signatures for a petition to have
(3.22) Not only are the wheels coming off at Tesla, but the Cybertrucks are actually blowing apart in the wind . . . but only when it’s cold. Apparently Elon was cutting corners on the glue. I’m with Tim Walz, watching this company tank is giving me great joy. And the protests and boycotts are
(2.8) In a response to the Musk government takeover, a rally has been called for Saturday at Senator Jack Reed’s office downtown in Kennedy Plaza. We need our senators to step up and make some noise, and let’s start getting the younger, more vigorous senators in front of the camera. Senators can find their powers
I’ve been waiting years for this guy to show up. How on earth did we allow the right to co-opt patriotism? All that crap about lapel pins and pocket Constitutions was just a cynical performance for the home crowd, and we knew it. But the horror now unfolding has revealed, once and for all, that

(2.5) Looking for a chance to vent and send a message to our congressional delegation that we are ready to fight for our democracy? Head over to the State House Wednesday from noon to 2pm and make some noise. Musk has accessed all your personal data and may well be selling and/or erasing it. (Will

America is still waiting to join this list, but I
Hooray for Empire Guitars who will not open until noon today, Election Day, to give their employees time to vote! And maybe this afternoon would be a perfect time for some retail therapy. What better way to soothe your frazzled nerves than to browse through these aisles. There is often some talented musician noodling away
First order of business: Reject Referendum Question 1 and say NO to a Constitutional Convention. We have already written on this but House Speaker K. Joseph Shekarchi has just issued an excellent statement on why he is also urging Rhode Islanders to vote no. It reads in part: Rhode Island began as a ‘lively experiment,’
[Update: Good news! Question 1 was rejected by 62% of those voting.] Early voting starts Wednesday and Rhode Islanders are being asked to either reject or approve five referenda questions. We urge you to reject Question 1: “Shall there be a convention to amend or revise the Rhode Island Constitution?” (The other four questions are

Early voting in the Rhode Island General Election begins Wednesday, October 16. Go to the RI Secretary of State website for info on the schedule and links to various documents and portals. The deadline for submitting a mail ballot application past approaches. October 15, 2024 — Deadline to submit a mail ballot application. October 16
Today is not a deadline of any kind, just a reminder to check on your existing registration, and, if you are not already registered, get it done. In the past, the existence of the Electoral College* has resulted in Rhode Island being utterly ignored during presidential campaigns, while other states get bombarded with noxious television
Do not sit this one out! Senator Whitehouse has an opponent. How will you feel if you wake up Wednesday morning and the other guy is RI’s Democratic nominee for the Senate? And how do you think Clarence Thomas would greet that news? Spoiler alert, literally. I do not know whether unaffiliated Republicans are planning
Among the “automatics” in the Rhode Island delegation to the 2024 Democratic Convention in Chicago is our four-man congressional delegation, including Congressman Gabe Amo, seen here pressing the flesh last November just prior to his eventual election. I wish I had photos to use of the other three, but they are not often found hanging
