I am calling on Governor McKee to declare a public health emergency. With winter temps putting lives at risk and shelter capacity stretched beyond its limits, we need immediate action. We cannot afford to wait while Rhode Islanders suffer in the cold.
Ny’eil Pires was supposed to be starting 2nd grade this week. Instead she was shot in the backseat of her family car in Providence and died. I’m so sad and mad. We must do better.
At the Orlando Innovative Schools Summit, @DaveFlink will discuss the importance of embracing identities, effective accommodations, and self-advocacy to create a stronger classroom for neurodivergent youth. To learn more, visit the link in our bio.

As a Board member of @E2ENational I've committed to fight on behalf of neurodiverse (ND) young adults to get the support they need. Passing the RISE Act will allow ND students to bring their accommodations with them to college. Please contact your Senator to voice your support!
I co-authored a letter with Elliot Rivera that calls on the RI Foundation to commit to a search for a new President that is rooted in Community and anti-racism

Leadership starts at the top & Rhode Island needs a governor who will actively support abortion rights. We need to pass the Equality in Abortion Coverage Act now.

"We were the last journalists in Mariupol. Now there are none." The remarkable story of how an @AP team hid from Russian troops in a hospital, wearing surgical scrubs, to continue telling the world of the city's destruction. https://t.co/nAlsyl6rpN
The difference between red and blue states might be related to gun laws, higher levels of poverty (red states also predominate), low education levels (same), cruddy health care (same) or relatively low economic opportunity (same).

Wow. This message from Arnold Schwarzenegger to the Russian people is incredible.
I’m re-sharing it with Russian hashtags so it can hopefully find some people in-country. Please share.

We may sometimes feel that we can't do much as individuals, but humanity is made up of individuals; together we can make a difference. As individuals we can influence our own families. Our families can influence our communities and our communities can influence our nations.
My favourite prayer says: "For as long as space endures, And for as long as living beings remain, Until then may I too abide, To dispel the misery of the world." And, in trying to fulfil that aspiration, I feel my life has been of some benefit.
So proud to support @HelenaBFoulkes to be the next Governor of Rhode Island. She brings deep experience and JUST the type of leadership we need to secure a bright future for all Rhode Islanders!
I'm a lifelong Rhode Islander, proud Democrat, leader, wife, and mother of four. Today I’m announcing my campaign for Governor. Our state is in a period of great crisis and opportunity and it’s time to pull together, think boldly, and get things done.
I hope you'll join me.

As soon as I wake up, I think about altruism. I reflect on the verse that says, "So long as space remains, I will remain in order to serve sentient beings." This gives me inner strength and determination, so there’s no longer any danger of destructive emotions arising.
