    Despite trying to disguise himself as a “moderate” these are the real @KenBlockRI supporters.

    Ken Block: the choice of #MAGA for #RhodeIsland governor.
    Leave it better than you found it @AuburysNavy
    Ken and I have disagreed on many things but at the end of the day he is the best choice for Rhode Island governor, he has my endorsement.

    It’s just like how @VicMellorForRI wants to represent #RhodeIsland. Live in Florida, work in DC and only occasionally visit the Ocean Stare.

    The President of Cameroon, 93-year-old Paul Biya, only occasionally visits Cameroon! In general, he lives in Europe. He can now barely walk! Here he is in his hometown of Geneva, Switzerland.

    To all #RhodeIsland voters, beware of candidates for the state’s top legal position that threaten to sue people because of what they say or write. @AlanGordonRI is an authoritarian that would clearly use the law to silence those that dare criticize him.

    @KateFangman @AvengingAnnieRI @nbc10_brian A cursory forensic review of these screenshots provided by Kate Fangman show signs of having been produced by a screenshot spoofing program. This would be a violation of R.I. Gen. Laws § 17-30-1 et seq. and so to avoid further legal action I strongly advise you, Kate, to retract.

    Now encouraging people to vote is “manipulation.” These people really hate our democracy. They want to take us back to poll taxes and literature tests.
    John DePetro Show @JohnDePetroshow
    This needs to be investigated. They are clearly manipulating the early vote at city hall but admittedly I am not sure how. They push the “early vote” over “mail ballots” which tells me they have found a way to exploit it and manipulate it.

    There’s a significant policy difference between rent control and rent stabilization. Rhode Island’s leading journalists, including @TedNesi, should help explain the differences, not conflate the two.

    This argument is so 2012. Feel free to die on this hill, but the rest of the real world cares about gas, housing and health care costs.

    ➡️ Mayor-elect decides to not attend a parade. ➡️ Parade goes on as it has for decades ➡️ Mayor-elect’s opponents cry discrimination Make it make sense
    Justin Katz @JustinKatzRI
    Socialists are so blatant we have only ourselves to blame if we don't recognize their dishonest use of language. Great example: Morales's "A Providence for All" slogan. "For all" means you don't count if he thinks you were previously privileged. "For all" means replacing some people with the people he (dishonestly) thinks were previously excluded. This is barely an inference and almost directly an observation.

    Ken Block is an ideological Republican. He’s clearly indicated that he doesn’t care about things Democrats thing are vital - like abortion access - and will only lead on things conservatives prioritize- like tax cuts for the wealthy and reducing regulations on corporations.

    It's my birthday today. My message to you is: Parties do not solve problems. They never have, and they never will. Ideology does not solve problems. It never has, and it never will. Only people solve problems. Only someone who can think, reason, convince, cajole, and communicate can drive major change within government organizations. Fewer and fewer people still vote by party here in RI because the bridge broke our politics. Use your brain. I played a major role in eliminating the Master Lever, a ballot mechanism that let voters vote for a party. Stop voting like the Master Lever still makes any sense.

    It’ll be interesting to see if the work to change the electorate at the local level changes how legislators operate. Or will it continue to be business as usual on Smith Hill?

    @DanMcGowan Absolutely insane turnout machine. It becomes even more clear when you look at the council races in Wards 4, 5, and 12. Each of these had multiple candidates (sometimes the same exact ones) running in 2022, which was also a 3 way mayor's race.

    Everyone knows full well that Mayor Mamdani's political opponents would criticize him just as much if he said nothing - or said anything. There are a group of people with a loud microphone that are simply anti-Mamdani. Nothing he says or does will change that.

    I don’t understand why the Mayor couldn’t simply give Jews *one day* to mourn the largest mass killing of Jews since the holocaust.

    Conservatives from all political parties made the same mistake after Mamdani was elected in New York. With expectations so low, basic competence will be enough to be deemed a success. And anyone obstructing what is good for Providence will be the ones punished by voters.

    Well, protests are his wheelhouse. Get ready for a lot of protesting (tantrums) from him when the adults have the audacity to say "no" to him
