In 2024, 7,100 pedestrians were killed on the road, and in recent years, more than 1,000 cyclists have been hit and killed annually. Safety experts explain how bikers and walkers can stay safe.

Since taking office, Donald Trump has...
-Attacked federal workers' bargaining rights
-Fired workplace safety & health researchers
-Paused a rule protecting workers from extreme heat
-Put a former Amazon exec in charge of worker health & safety
He's on an anti-worker warpath.

Maybe I went to a farm and sniffed up some avian flu in my sneaky cat nose. How would you even know?
Not like they’re tracking that stuff for farm workers, who are literally such important people for us all

What’s up? Trying to figure out this new space, but in the meantime, Rhode Islanders, let’s keep banging down Whitehouse’s door on this RFK thing:
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is a longtime friend of RFK, Jr. and reportedly has not yet committed to voting against him.

To be clear, it is certainly not my first time having a friendly RIPTA driver!
It’s my first time taking RIPTA to Woonsocket! Nice to have a very friendly driver too!

It’s a weird early bus week for RIPTA in Pvd. The schedules expect more traffic!
Yesterday: 7min early at my stop then waited ~4min when I mentioned it
Today (diff time and driver): 1min late at my stop but somehow got 5min ahead later and let everyone know that’s why he was waiting at each stop.

I'm excited about Bluesky and getting off Twitter, but the main reason I tweeted was to address RIDOT and sometimes the City of Providence. (They aren't here yet, right?)
How long until more of our govt agencies are on here?
