I love how small R.I. is!!! At the train station I saw David Cicilline and June Speakman. We’re all heading different places on different trains (except @katrinaspeak.bsky.social and I are on the same train, different places). Also riding the train was the right call, I’m getting so much work done!

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Jo and I went out in snow shoes on the Boulevard today. So pretty!

@rihouseofreps.bsky.social postpones today's Finance Committee hearing but the House is back in action Thursday after the blizzard.

Ugh.

City says “To locate a car that has been towed, please call 401-272-3121.” Which, I think, is the police’s number.

Transplant from Miami here! But I’ve been here 20+ years. Almost one here has seen this much snow at once.

Important Snow Updates Whelp, we have received a lot of snow. I hope you are warm and cozy in homes with power (back) on. We're going to be here for a little while. In my last newsletter, I posted a community discussion about...

My latest newsletter, with snow-related updates from the city. buff.ly/4u9kiXa]

I saw a tiny car driving on one of the few plowed roads near me and maybe the driver is a critical worker but I do not understand how they will not get stuck somewhere. Please stay off the roads! If you need to drive to your job at a hospital or whatever, please do it in a vehicle meant for this.

This is even more snow!!!! But fewer cars on the road thank goodness.

It is so so much snow!!!

Yeah but can regular plows handle 3 feet of snow? I get the little ones on pickup trucks can’t? But I don’t know!
