NEW: how a Rhode Island school district became a case study in the public pushback on anti-trans activists

Check out this great Westerly Sun story at CMS. So very proud of our students. @CharihoRegional @GinaPicard thewesterlysun.com/news/rich…

Super-interesting interview: How progressive state Rep. Megan @CotterforRI won re-election in a conservative Rhode Island district as Trump rolled to victory thepublicsradio.org/politica…

.@CotterforRI: "It feels like the national parties left the working class a long time ago. So I think we need to start at the bottom and work our way back up" [#3] thepublicsradio.org/tgif/tgi…

Elections are community-driven. Let’s thank friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors who have taken the time and effort to ensure that this election ran smoothly. #ThankYouElectionHeroes

“Pro-life” would be 20 Sandy Hook students voting for the first time this election.

Endorsement: @CotterforRI has put service above party and has delivered for her constituents. Vote Megan Cotter for RI HD 39

She has a very, very bright future in RI politics. Thanks for listening, Sue. Thanks for doing the hard work, @CotterforRI

Rep. Morgan, you continue to get the facts wrong. Mail ballots ALREADY must be received by the time polls close on Election Day. RI’s new law allows for mail ballot apps. (not ballots) to be accepted within 3 days of the deadline so long as they are postmarked by the deadline.

Attempting to vilify students and scare people into voting against a bond is gross. I hope others see thru the nonsense.

People over party!

If you are running for a SC seat & your intent is to "cut the budget" then you should be running for the TC. Chariho has 5 seated SC members who said they'd find the dirt and waste. Foxes have been in the hen house for 2 years and ain't caught a chicken yet cause they don't exist

The gift you gave to the @CharihoRegional community remains a symbol of all that made Maddie, a product of amazing parents, a light for all of us.

The people of District 39 want leadership that delivers, not distractions. While my opponent is still looking backward, I’m focused on real wins: securing funds for our schools, expanding healthcare access, and protecting our forests. Together, we’ve made progress—

Yo. Sorry for long message but just wanted to provide a personal update and this may be the only one I ever do. I debated doing this, but I don’t really have much of a choice. I have kidney failure. We’ve determined it’s permanent and won’t get better. My GFR (kidney function) hovers around 13-15. That’s stage 5. I feel ok. Some days I’m exhausted, some days I feel pretty normal. We have done numerous tests, blood work, scans, a failed biopsy, and doctors appointments every other week to try and figure out the cause. We have had no luck. It’s very rare to have this happen at 30. Being in a state of limbo and not knowing where you stand is tough. But I also consider myself pretty tough and coming on here and interacting with you guys daily has been a gift that I am so thankful for. From the Friar fans, to the very nasty UConn fans that make fun of me, to everyone in between. It makes me feel normal and helps me forget the biggest struggle I’ve had to endure in my lifetime. I say “we” a lot because I genuinely feel profoundly lucky to have the support system that I have. Today, I had a meeting with a different nephrologist to start to look at potential options for a kidney transplant. The wait list is 5-6 years for a deceased donor. That is a long time. Years come off your life from dialysis treatment and just having kidney failure in general. A living donor would increase my chances of survival and quality of life ten fold. I am not asking for money. I’m not asking for pity. Plain and simple: I need a kidney. I’m simply asking for the word to be spread around in hopes a donor will step up. I know. It’s a big ask. This is such a powerful community and I believe anything is possible. Nothing will happen soon. I have to have another dozen or so tests at RI hospital to make sure I’m eligible. This is going to be a battle. But anything helps. A like, a retweet, whatever. I intend to hang around long enough to see the Providence College Friars win a national championship. Thank you for reading. I love you all, even the trolls!

This teacher’s life is saved by the very student she never gave up on.. watch her reaction at the end 😭😭
