As painful as it is, and has been, I have worried that the response will increase suffering.
On Monday night at the JCC vigil, Rabbi Goldwasser reminded us, it is our duty to make order from chaos and seek goodness.

American politicians, especially local/state officials do not owe anybody a statement on the Israel-Gaza war.
Pitting RIers against one another does nothing to help us here, and does nothing to help the dire impact of this on Israeli and Palestinian civilians.

My broken heart is full.
Powerful vigil this evening. Appreciate a strong showing from elected officials and clergy members from congregations across the state.
The most powerful words came from 3 Israelis living in our community. The pain paired w/resolve.
Am Yisrael Chai!
.@PVDMayor's office & City of Providence should do the right thing & (at minimum) reimburse Neugent for his property, and reissue him his birth certificate and other identification.
We can begin showing concern for people by treating them with dignity.

So inhumane for the governor and this Mayor to give the order for this type of mistreatment of Michael.
Criminalizing homelessness is not the solution.

The folks who don't want to see policy changes support clean energy in lieu of disastrous fossil fuels point to dead whales and decry offshore wind.
But those same people prevent regulations to combat the "deadliest predator in the sea."

After barely engaging during primary, calling for 12 debates during 2 months of a special election looks like a set-up. However many Amo participates in, it won't be enough for the other side.
They want to control the narrative. Amo is engaging w/the people he'll represent.

Hopefully not lost: manufacturers "agreed to give battery-powered equipment to the town at no cost."
Whethera ban is enacted or buy-back is extended, our DPW prob does the most lawncare in town. We can't miss the chance to transition to electric w/donated equipment!

Last I checked, it would be heresy to imply the Founders were deities.
The Second Amendment is not a “G-d-given right.” It is a government regulation that needs stricter parameters.

In a discussion about how to develop public property (acquired by a narrow vote of the town's voters), the Council's President admonished a resident for asking a question about that vote.
If he refuses to answer to residents, to whom is he accountable?
