In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I love being surrounded by 30+ trees until I need to use a snow shovel to move leaves from my sidewalk & parking lot. Providence missing my 4 full leaf bins for last week pickup ain’t helping the situation. 4 bins & 5 bags later - I still have lots of leaves on asphalt.

Didn’t realize RI had killed all its turkeys by the 1800s, only reintroducing them in the 1980s. One visted my yard back in June & sampled my berries & admired itself in my car’s reflection.

She was then arrested, labelled a “domestic terrorist” and slandered on social media.
All charges against her have been dropped.
In this interview she shows on of the seven holes the ICE agent put in her body.

It’s time for a city government that puts affordability at the top of the agenda.

Can't wait to vote in RI leaders who get that transit is essential to RI's growth. No amount of marketing and promotion can overcome the fact customers can't easily get to local city markets unless they drive. It suppresses turnout. Poor decisions by McKee and Smiley force businesses out of RI.
