Cranston's schools already spend $3K less per student than the state average and lags in teacher pay. CPSD cut $2.4M already and may lose more if federal cuts hit. Hopkins has flat-funded for years, now giving 40% less than CPSD’s $3.9M ask. Tell the finance committee to fully fund our schools!

@booker.senate.gov is 30 minutes away from the filibuster record. My only question is: who is up next? Let’s keep this going Dems. This is what democracy looks like.

There have been multiple questionable removals of immigrants from the US to El Salvador that were deprived the right to due process. The reason this right exists for all in the US is to protect citizens as much as non-citizens. W/o this the gov can send you away with no verifiable proof.

In the wealthiest country in the world we ask too much of the lower class and too little of the wealthiest among us. Tax the rich, and tax them a lot. That is how you rebuild a flourishing middle class in America. This is how we allow the max number of Americans to access true freedom and dignity.

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

Since JD Vance just converted to Catholicism 5 minutes ago, he might not know this: the Pope authoring a letter where he goes out of his way to correct you, specifically, is considered "bad" in the Catholic tradition
MAJOR BREAKING: Pope Francis has written a letter to US Bishops saying he’s following “major crisis” of “mass deportations;” takes on Vance saying “The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the “Good Samaritan”

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

LETTER: We sent a letter to Brown Uni. administrators, condemning their 3-month “interim” suspension of a student group, Students for Justice in Palestine, stifling student speech.

With this suspension, the University has given itself exceptional power to undercut any political org. on campus.

The Hegseth confirmation shows that Republican lawmakers have put party over country. They should be ashamed, but I doubt if they are.
