History doesn’t become untrue just because an administration doesn’t like it. In order for us to grow as a nation and truly become the more perfect union the founders aspired to, we must learn from our past - the good, the bad, and the ugly. www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/0...

Christian Roselund@roselund.bsky.social · 2w agoWe’ve also endorsed a list of 15 climate champions for state rep & senator. While there are a lot of good people on here, the one I feel strongest about is @dawneuer.bsky.social. Dawn wrote the state’s landmark Act on Climate, and has been solid on this issue. /14 world.350.org/rhodeisland/...

Aging utility infrastructure is a huge cost driver on our utility bills. We need to be smarter & more efficient and put rate payers first when we are designing and rebuilding this critical infrastructure. That cost factor has been at the heart of the work I’ve been doing related to energy.
Sometimes legislation helps raise the profile of an issue. Grateful to the advocates who raised concerns about the JNC’s lengthy lead time for signing up for public comment. Was glad to carry legislation to limit that lead time & appreciate the JNC for hearing the feedback & changing their process.
Appreciate PBN covering the @ripta.com Flex service Aquidneck Island expansion. This win was a long time coming and a lot of work behind the scenes. Not everyone can drive, much less afford a car, and it’s important to we provide safe, reliable comprehensive transportation options.

It’s good that the Supreme Court confirmed people born in America are … wait for it … Americans. 🇺🇸 But anything less than a 9-0 decision upholding this clear constitutional right is extraordinarily troubling. There's a pattern here that cannot be ignored. www.aft.org/press-releas...

Beyond disappointing that Gov McKee vetoed the energy benchmarking legislation. Our energy systems aren’t working for working people & we need to fight for bold system transformation with that in mind. Proud to work with fellow fighters, not folders, Senator Kallman and Representative Kislak.
Trade oil for free. No sanctions. A $300 billion reparations fund. For NOTHING. Just going back to pre-war status. Even Fox can't sugarcoat this disaster.

In the mid-1900s, thousands of government workers were fired or forced to resign solely for being queer. This era is known as the Lavender Scare — and we see history repeating itself under the Trump administration.
What Was the Lavender Scare?
An effort to push queer people out of public life during the Red Scare takes familiar shape under the Trump administration today.

Thank you @bikenewportri.bsky.social for hosting this delightful event on an absolutely beautiful Newport morning. Great to see Council Chair Holder, Councilor Smyth, @dawneuer.bsky.social & @amo.house.gov there to support bike & ped infrastructure! And a morning of fun.
The Senate passed my bill to put a $3M affordable housing bond on the Jamestown ballot in Nov! If approved, the town could convert existing municipal properties into 11 units of much-needed affordable housing. Smart, creative, and cost-effective. 🏠 www.rilegislature.gov/pressrelease...
I support 4 amendments to the Let RI Vote Act - adding explicit anti-discrimination protections, restoring courts' full voting rights checklist, allowing winners to recover legal costs, and centering community voices in remedies. RI has always made it easier to vote - let's keep it that way. ✅
Utility Profits: Part 2 The Receipts Followup from yesterday’s video. The utility said the quiet part out loud (working on getting the video) this is about the profit for them. Screenshots are from previous PUC orders rejecting the accounting practice that the RI state budget is trying to restore.

🚨The RI budget includes a provision would cost RI ratepayers at least $11.6 million in additional utility profit in the 1st 5yrs alone from road repaving costs. The budget isn't final yet. Contact your legislators & ask them to remove this language before the budget is approved. #RatepayerProtection
