NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)
For months, we warned DOGE's access to Americans' private data was ripe for abuse. And here it is:
A former DOGE employee stole the Social Security numbers & personal info of over 500 MILLION Americans.
Musk, Trump, & their DOGE lackies must be made to answer for this, NOW.
Insane prices & crappy schedules easily kill the functionality of transit. I’m so jelly of other cities & countries that do transit right. We COULD have it here, but so often political leaders choke off funding & make it suck.
Tonight at 6!
Schatz: We don’t know for sure, but the likely bombing of an elementary school with one of our Tomahawk missiles is not a one-off mistake. It is the result of a change in policy so that the United States has way looser rules of engagement — way more tolerance for civilian harm.
Make your plans now for No Kings Day on March 28. Stand up against bigotry, grift and state violence. Find a protest near you at this link. Bring your family and friends.
Rhode Island friends: RIPTA’s section of @govdanmckee.bsky.social’s FY2027 budget will be up for a hearing tomorrow at 4:30 pm (State House Room 35)
While Gov. McKee’s budget allocation of $13.8m prevents cuts from happening this year, it’s not enough to reverse the devastating cuts from last fall.
MAGA man in charge really out here trying to say basically that he doesn’t care about killing kids or soldiers. That it happens in war. The war no one wanted but his ego and trigger peeps.
I don’t bike around as much as I want because at least 1 car tries to run me over every city trip by bike I’ve taken thus far. I’ve been advocating for Providence to finally build its bike lane network so more folks can get to shops & eateries safely by bike.
The amazing folks at Ceremony have been in coordination with ‘Reddit John’, who was so instrumental in identifying the Brown shooter & he has agreed to a GoFundMe to receive support.
Let’s take care of him to thank him for coming forward & taking care of us.

Didn’t realize MAGA meant 70s oil crisis redux on top of everything else.
McKee's whole term has been governed by a philosophy of "lets do less". Less transit funding, less climate initiatives, less bold ideas, less real solutions.
AOC: They wanted to issue this statement as though we’re just going after these 30-year-old men on Medicaid playing video games in their basement, right? This was the narrative that we heard.
First of all, I think everyone should have healthcare in America, regardless of who you are
My local bunnies really appreciated the deep lingering blizzard snow in my yard. They ate all my fruit tree branches 4’ up the plant. Sigh.
AOC: The Pentagon has not passed an audit, and they are out here trying to kick people with disabilities off of Medicaid. It is corruption that is stealing from the public coffers — and that is the actual waste, fraud, and abuse.
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

I grew up rural NY where it was nothing to drive an hour or 2. My elementary school district took more than 30mins to drive across as it spanned over 25 miles north to south. I am now that person in RI who thinks Coventry is another state & “too far”.
Trump has launched a war in the Middle East without our consent, without a plan, without a strategy, and without any clear idea about where it leads or how it ends.
March 8, 2026 - Tehran at sunrise today. But the sun is hidden behind a sky filled with smoke. After a night of intensive strikes on oil facilities, thick black clouds now hang over the city, turning morning into something that feels like night.
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.
(🎥 Vahid Online)
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
The woman who told FBI agents that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was as young as 13 recalled that she and her mother received death threats afterward, with callers saying “we know where you’re at, you need to keep your mouth shut."
Here's a Miami Herald gift link.
Before and after in #Paris, surface gas station in front of a residential building, converted into green space.
Imagine if your city did urban transformations like this. The 18th arrondissement of Paris, before and after, 2020 to 2024. Think about how that neighbourhood would feel after this change. How YOUR neighbourhood would feel.
It can happen. Just takes vision & leadership.

🇮🇪 Walking, wheeling and cycling remove up to 660,000 cars from roads daily in Ireland’s five largest cities, a new survey finds. Active travel brings nearly €3bn in annual benefits, cuts emissions and enjoys strong public support for further investment.

I’m beginning to think they asked an AI chat if it was a good idea to bomb Iran & are basing their plans off of chat prompts.
“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible—and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

If you are a Costco customer, Trump stole your money and won’t give it back.
