Poll workers can actually do more good. Make sure that your accessible voting system (for people with disabilities) is working, and report any intimidation to the secretary of state. Good luck!

Not enough stars. I love this. I'm teaching it to my coworker learning Italian right now. We both chose to have dogs rather than kids.

This kid is so stinking cute. Glad that Science Fiction is getting out of the white boy rut. There's no reason that a speculative genre cannot have a diverse cast.

It's OK Tom, we weren't that into you either. — Rhode Island

In the same situation. My boyfriend’s and my parents are helping to contribute to a down payment. We’ve been looking in Providence where it is much more affordable. Still, despite that help and our both having professional-degree required government jobs we couldn’t afford anything 400K.

Yes, there are things that make me not believe in any cosmic higher power or "fate". Young children dying is one of them.

When I was in college a classmate of mine was a NH rep. Our college was in mass.

I’m surprised she did given that she has refused to talk about having Crohn’s disease. It bothered me, as someone with her level of publicity could have helped reduce the stigma, but I respect her choice. Some of these cancer drugs help with Crohn's too, so I hope she wins in her fight against both.

I want to take the train down there this weekend and install a super-powerful Niderqueen in there named "Madam President". (Get used to it!)

Leave our beloved Linc alone! He’s our sweet befuddled grandpa trying to keep up with the changing world. Sincerely, all Rhode Islanders

Very sweet! When I was in college my mom and I went to the Mass State Democratic Convention together a few times. It was great mother-daughter bonding. We bought matching t-shirts that said "If you aren't completely outraged, you aren't paying attention."

I love this story. I grew up in the Boston area around the same time as you guys did, and it is sickening how the r-word was so common it was a part of the dialect.

When you have variable blood sugars, you are told to test several times a day, at regular intervals. Doing it more often than every few hours is costly (testing strips aren’t free!) and pricking your finger several times a day is painful. If you test too often, you start running out of places to stick.

All this discussion about the movie being an allegory for race, and not one person saw that a more fitting analogy would be people with mental illness? We assume that all people with mental illness are dangerous, and are just time-bombs waiting to snap and hurt someone. That’s some deep-seated ableism on the part of…

So proud to be from David Cicilline's district in RI right now! He's live tweeting the event like a boss. Saw him marching at Pride this weekend, and now he's back in DC, doing his job. Thanks David!

I can at least say the RI statute is correct.

You should have dropped this a long time ago. Reading your comments infuriated me. I’m a lawyer, and can tell you, you are absolutely wrong. You could look up the citations for all the states mentioned above, but you would rather just say "uh-uh" and insist you are right without proof.

One really should not be drinking while on Methotrexate. I'm very surprised her doc and/or pharmacist didn't warn her of that. My bottle came with a warning sticker. Funny how hers doesn't. I was told 2 drinks a month, and better just to not drink at all. I offered to be designated driver a lot during that time.

Rhode Island is a small state. What happens here is known border to border in an hour. No surprise the tabloids got it. Annoyed thought that the paparazzi will be all over the beaches now.
