Still a mess on Twitter, too Gen X to care.
The Rogers High School assault is beyond disturbing; it is criminal.
IF you watch the video of the abuse, watch with care. It’s so hard to shake, can you IMAGINE being the victim?!
Kids AND adults with special needs MUST be protected. What is going on?!

New Wickford/ North Kingstown roundabout is working incredibly well.
I’m happy for the shopkeepers that construction is over.
Independent TC member Beth Hill Ross gave it her all to stop the roundabout. Feels much safer already and the drama felt unnecessary.
