@ScottBaio Welcome to Rhode Island.

Thank God the bobbies got this monster off the streets... the UK will remain a safe, protected society filled only with peace and love now...

JUST IN: UK police arrest 15 y/o boy, seize his devices, & collect his DNA after he posted photo of a local politician edited to look like a rabbit.

[Rep Mike Chippendale @MikeWChip]

Hmm... that's not at all petrifying...

Hey @grok, is this true??

Some data centers now run on lab-grown human brain neurons derived from stem cells, wired directly to silicon chips via electrode arrays, and kept alive on life support. Fed sugar every few days. They play Doom. We don’t know if they’re conscious.

[Rep Mike Chippendale @MikeWChip]

I agree with Jack - no one being arrested should hold onto children and risk their safety. This exact thing happens every day when police arrest parents for child abuse.

Children aren't human shields for sympathy - cooperate with police and let your children go to safety.

.@SenJackReed reacts to video of ICE detaining a man in PVD with two children in his arms. "Surely we can acknowledge that traumatizing toddlers on the streets of Providence is a betrayal of our values as Americans," he said. "Professional law enforcement don’t behave this way"

Biggest psy-op in RI right now - Secretary of State, Speaker of the House, Senate leadership et al, aided by the media, trying to create a sense of panic that simply isn't needed. This is to scare the s*&#t out of Voters ahead of the horrible "Let RI Vote" Act. Theatre - period.

@JonDBrien1 "Can" and "will" are two very different things by brother.

Tonight, as I was leaving a restaurant on 14th Street in New York around 10 p.m., this Muslim woman took a prayer rug and a niqab out of the trunk of her car, put the niqab on, laid the prayer rug down, and started praying on the street.

I grew up as a Muslim in the Islamic world, and let me tell you: this is absolutely part of an organized effort to flood the public square in the West with Islamic symbolism.

First of all, there is no Islamic prayer at 10 p.m. Even if she missed the Isha prayer, which takes place earlier in the evening, she has until dawn to make it up. So why choose to pray on the street at 10 p.m.?

Second, a Muslim woman who does not wear a niqab or hijab in her daily life would never normally have a niqab sitting in the trunk of her car.

She is clearly not strict enough to wear it every day, so why would she suddenly be so strict about missing a prayer that she carries a niqab in her trunk specifically for this purpose?

Third, in almost any Islamic country, you would never see a woman praying on the street at 10 p.m. This would be completely unacceptable.

If she were genuinely worried about praying, she could simply wait until she got home, especially since a missed Isha prayer can be made up before dawn.

I can tell you with full confidence that these scenes we keep seeing of Muslims praying in the streets of the West are intentional.

They serve to assert dominance, normalize Islam in the public square, seize ground, and demand exceptional treatment that immediately turns into claimed rights.

Bad-faith acts like this are signals of the same project that turned many cities in Europe into shitholes.

Exceptional threats demand exceptional measures.

Islam must be banned in the West because it is not a religion; it is a hostile political ideology.

Until that happens, the West will continue losing ground to this ideology every single day.

@TheRazor51 Yes. I'm sure somehow, somewhere, the poor gunman was a 'victim' of white privilege or Orange Man Bad.

In RI that father would be a criminal merely for entering his child's school property with a legally possessed firearm. Laws like this endanger far more innocent people than they protect.

Truth & Consequences: Navigating the 2026 House Legislative Session, A Rhode House Minority Report, RI Education Accountability

For too long, Rhode Island’s answer to poor education outcomes has been to spend more money, not demand better results.

Bottom Line: Unfunded state education mandates increase costs, limit local decision-making, and can pull resources from the classroom. Every child deserves a strong education, every parent deserves a voice, and every taxpayer deserves proof that education dollars are producing results.

RI spends approximately $20,315 per student, among the highest levels in the nation, yet reading and math proficiency scores remain low.

Check out the sixth chapter in our report, focused on Rhode Island Education Accountability, below.

@ffighter49 @MaxDieselRI Forget about Oregon - it's irrelevant. It has nothing to do with our situation. With the current attorney general, and the predecessor, I do believe that the Rhode Islander who did this would in fact be prosecuted.

[Rep Mike Chippendale @MikeWChip]

@Rando4Rep I think he would. And a person who made that decision to go in would not care about the legal consequences over the human consequences. Certainly, I know I would not care.

[Rep Mike Chippendale @MikeWChip]

@bendslc Non sequitur

[Rep Mike Chippendale @MikeWChip]

@ffighter49 You could not be more wrong. State law severely limits who can carry, and where. If you step one foot onto school property with a permitted, legal firearm in RI, you can go to jail. This is not a topic you will know better than I.

[Rep Mike Chippendale @MikeWChip]

@RINewsToday That literally changes nothing in my post. I began with "In RI...", so were that to happen in RI - the state I care more about, a person who would otherwise be armed and able to stop something like this will be unable to.

3.6% unemployment sounds great until you read the rest of the report. RI has 11,000 fewer people employed than a year ago, 15,800 fewer in the labor force, and just 100 more private-sector jobs. Most of McKee’s “37,000 jobs” simply replaced jobs lost during COVID.

[Governor Dan McKee @GovDanMcKee]

NEW: RI’s unemployment rate fell to 3.6% in September, below the national rate of 4.2%. ⬇️

Plus, we’ve kept unemployment below 5% for 59 straight months, the 2nd-longest streak in state history. 💪

And private-sector jobs are up 37K since March 2021. ⬆️
