Democrats on the March
John DePetro and Justin Katz worry about the significance of creeping lunacy in RI politics.
Here’s the Boston Globe’s description of the people leaving Massachusetts: Boston Indicators, the research arm of the Boston Foundation, published an analysis exploring trends in so-called domestic outmigration in Massachusetts, or people leaving for elsewhere in the United States. Looking at a two-year average across 2021 and 2022, the analysis found that the people moving…
Unfortunately, Rhode Islanders don’t want it. The Ocean State could be a beacon collecting some of tech jobs California is losing, as Joey Politano shows here: Rhode Island is so in the grip of its special interests and ideologues that they’d rather imitate California than create opportunity.
That means most of us have to be servants to somebody else. That’s why a political party that still pretends it’s “for the little guy” is relentlessly targeting “little guys” who work for themselves.

They’re only about control. They want to make sure teachers can’t get out of the pension system, and they want to make sure children can’t get…
Representative Michael Chippendale directs Rhode Islanders’ attention to the party responsible for the Ocean State’s condition.
These sentiments from two prominent Rhode Island progressives are worth noting: “Harmful practices.” “Punish children.” They’re talking about demerits for things like being late or unprepared for class. Notice that they don’t care whether these policies could help some children. Either in their arrogance they think they know better or in their malice they want to…
