@rhodyneighbors has been doing phenomenal advocacy around our state’s housing needs. I’m proud that @RIHouseofReps passed multiple new laws, which NWRI supported, to make housing more accessible + affordable for working families. Great time at NWRI’s end of session celebration!
My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.
Trump falsely suggests @ZohranKMamdani is in the country "illegally" calls him a communist (he's a Dem socialist) and then then goes on to call @ericadamsfornyc a "very good person" who he "helped out a little bit."
If you think it's so immaterial, maybe call a few seniors in nursing homes and explain to them where they'll go next. Call the mom of a kid with disabilities who won't be able to pay for a new wheelchair. Call just one person whose life you're going to tear apart.
We’re feeling Inspired by @ZohranKMamdani’s primary win. Let’s repeat it right here in Rhode Island. W/ special guest, NY-DSA Co-Chair and leader on the Mamdani campaign, Gustavo Gordillo. Tuesday July 1, 6:00pm mobilize.us/riwfp/event/80…
For those not getting it: As crazy as it sounds, my tweet represents a fair summation of the theory of power, that - after years of ostensible study of why more things don't get built faster - @ezraklein offered to Jon Stewart re: how the convoluted regs in the rural broadband…
When are those darned community groups and environmentalists ever gonna get over their procedure fetish, tell their hordes of lobbyists to stand down, and stop blocking clean energy production through labyrinthian regulatory regimes

The new Senate draft raises taxes on all wind and solar projects that haven't begun construction today unless they are placed service by end of 2027 and navigate complex, likely unworkable requirements to prove they don't use a drop of Chinese materials. After that, this bill…
Can’t think of better company 🫡💜 we lead with a pretty sweet combo of reason and empathy here in the Ocean State. @JenStewartRI @MSanchezPVD
Major Todd Palatano and retired Sgt. Bob Boehm voted for a 45-day suspension for Sgt. Hanley, arguing he deserves a second chance Providence Police Commander Timothy O'Hara dissented, and said PPD is now "burdened" with an "unfit individual" on the force bostonglobe.com/2025/06/27/met…
Make no mistake, the SCOTUS decision about birthright citizenship IS ALSO ABOUT *birthright citizenship.* The Court is taking us back to an Antebellum view of citizenship. That way led to war once. My latest in @thenation thenation.com/article/societ…
Thank you, Lib, for letting the world know that we in Providence have socialist city council president @RachelRI backed up by so many progressive champions like @MSanchezPVD, @justinroias, Sue AnderBois, and Juan Pichardo. We are proud that our city stands up against ICE gestapo.
Meet Rachel Miller (@RachelRI), the president of @pvdcitycouncil in RI. She just announced she is mailing out flyers to help protect illegal aliens from ICE, who she claims carries out "state-sponsored terrorization.”
Sadly #RhodeIsland is moving in the wrong direction on making public transit viable & reliable for all. Invests in @RIPTA_RI will benefit everyone in the Ocean State by ensuring we all can get where we need to go, building community, protecting our environment, reducing traffic..
New: A @RIPTA_RI fare hike and service cuts are coming to close an $18M budget hole. And with summer in full swing, they are killing the beach bus. providencejournal.com/story/news/pol…
Due process, equal protection, and freedom from unlawful searches, apply to all people, not just U.S. citizens. That includes protections against warrantless entry, unjustified detention, and discriminatory treatment by the state. If that bothers you, your problem isn’t with…

Mamdani won. The establishment is in panic. Billionaires are raising money against him; Trump is ranting; Islamophobes are on the loose. They know what we know: Candidates who stand boldly with the working class can win not only in NYC, but anywhere. Let's stand with Zohran.
Thank you @RachelRI - this is exactly what our neighbors and constituents need in these times & I am grateful for your leadership. I have received a lot of positive feedback from residents.
I was always a fan of the Orwell quote, “In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act,” I just never thought the truth in question would be basic constitutional rights.
@wpri12 Providence joins a growing list of U.S. cities to ban “rent-setting algorithms." Today, I spent hours digging into why—& how these tools have helped drive up rent prices, pushing Providence to the top of the “least affordable” list.⬇️ tinyurl.com/wpri12
HAPPENING NOW: Council President @RachelRI's Rental Algorithm Ban has passed UNANIMOUSLY for the second and final time! Providence, a majority renter city, becomes the 6th U.S. city to act on this urgently needed protection — a major step as this council continues to provide…
In a letter to Housing Secretary Deborah Goddard, Council President @RachelRI and Councilor Sue @AnderBois call for state investment in deeply affordable, mixed-income social housing along North Main Street using 2024 Housing Bond funds. Providence is ready to build!
To address their housing crisis, Barcelona is instituting the Bernie 2020 One True Housing Plan: rent control, upzoning, build build build
