Funds for Head Start, RIPTA, & Medicaid are at risk, while the rich get another year of tax breaks. Having just the top 5,700 income earners pay their fair share would save vital services across #RI.

Thank you Rep. @karenalzate.bsky.social, Rep. @brandonpotter.bsky.social, and others(!) for your consistent support for #RI schools, RIPTA, care workers, and more.

The @rihouseofreps.bsky.social is clearly ready to pass H5473 and repeal the year-after-year 1% tax giveaway.
Wearing green w/ some @rihouseofreps.bsky.social
colleagues in House Finance to show support for Rep. Alzate’s bill to repeal tax cuts for the top 1%.

Now is the time for Rhode Island to act. #TaxTheRich

The most important bill in #RhodeIsland—to have the 1% pay their fair share—is having a hearing. Save:
🟢 Medicaid
🟢 Child care
🟢 RIPTA
🟢 schools…

Regular #RI'ers, we pay more than our fair share. It's time for the top 1% to pay in as well!

On April 25, alongside bands and community aid groups, we will co-host Pull Together.

Celebration, music, dance, and community aid are pillars of resistance to fascism and oppression.

Come join us to celebrate with music and find a place to plug in @indivisibleri.bsky.social @erbband.bsky.social

Donald Trump and Marco Rubio are targeting and abducting lawful residents like Mahmoud Khalil for their political beliefs.

Mahmoud deserves to be home with his family, not caged — without any charges — in a detention center more than a thousand miles from his home.
JENA, La. (AP) — Immigration judge rules that Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil can be deported.

Our @workingfamilies.org colleague Sarah Johnson points out how Democrats in blue states are failing to meet the moment. This echoes a recent story where @theprospect.bsky.social ranked #RI & Governor McKee last among blue states.
