Some tenured faculty members at @BrownUniversity are being threatened with vague disciplinary action after having visited the encampments. They received this email from the Dean of Faculty. I’ve confirmed at least 2, but there are at least 2 more I am hearing about beyond that.

The @Narragansett_RI council is out of control. In response to @JoeShekarchi’s housing package from last session, they are attempting to outright BAN duplexes in most of town. They’ll only end up making it impossible for their own children to live there. providencejournal.com/story/news/sta…
Is the Mayor incapable of doing his job?
This is controversial. The funding mechanism is new, and RI law would have to be changed to allow RIPTA to borrow with no limits. Bottom line--in a time when we need more funding for RIPTA and a new, experienced CEO-this transit hub that no one wants is an unecessary distraction

The fire this morning the Rhode Island Recycled Metals facility is another egregious example of how the health of Black and Brown communities is being ignored. With Each passing day that this business remains open, the lives of residents are needlessly put in danger.
The fact that this is the second fire in the past three years at this very location alone should be enough reason for the immediate closure of this facility, but the added fact that this business is operating without license is criminal. Immediate action needs to be taken.
