- Over 130 high school students walk out of Classical High School to protest the continued employment of teacher Ramona Bessinger, whose extremist views, students say, threaten their safety. @UpriseRI
- I'm going to be presented with an award at tonight's @HousingNetwrkRI Annual Meeting happening at the Providence G Rooftop in about an hour. It's for my work covering housing and homelessness. I dressed up a little.
- Brave healthcare workers counter protesting the “Reopen RI Rally.” Just over 50 people here. @UpriseRI
- I keep hearing that we are “lucky” to live in a state that codified the protections of Roe v Wade. It wasn’t luck. It was the hard work of advocates and activists forcing the General Assembly to act, including @WomanProjectHQ and @ReproFreedomRI It was impossible. They did it.
- Police knocked this backpack off a counterproster as they arrested them. Other police found it and are treating it as a bomb threat. Seriously. @UpriseRI
- Replying to @steveahlquist.@GovDanMcKee staffer Eva-Marie Mancuso asked why I was filming her and other staffers issuing eviction notices but not filming her getting coffee and donuts for the campers. I replied that when she gets evicted from her home I hope she gets a cup of coffee.
- Over 400 people at the Rhode Island State House as part of #MarchForOurLives protest calling for common sense gun laws. @RICAGV1 @MomsDemand @UpriseRI
- In response to the City of Woonsocket moving the Pride flag after raising it in a place of prominence because it was somehow an insult to veterans. Last night someone placed 144 flags, to symbolize the 144,000 LGBTQIA+ veterans who have served this country. @UpriseRI
