I grew up in Massachusetts and made occasional trips into Rhode Island, but I never saw it like this.

Walking gives you the chance to really experience the state's diversity—from older mill towns to long coastal stretches. I spent a good part of each day along the Boston Post Rd (Route 1). Narragansett was a highlight.

I documented each section as I went. This was the Old Slater Mill in Pawtucket.

Politics Rhode Island judge said the Trump administration had failed to comply with his order unfreezing billions of dollars in federal grants.

JD Vance is claiming that the Trump administration doesn’t have to comply with court orders. This is a constitutional crisis. Normally the remedy would be to have the U.S. Marshals enforce the rulings. The U.S. Marshals report to the DOJ and Pam Bondi. This is an unconstitutional power grab and puts on the course for civil war if this persists. It’s untenable.

Please contact our senators and representative and ask them what will be done to redress this situation and voice your concern.

I just received word from Jeff’s family that he has been located at an area hospital. I can’t thank you enough for all the comments and shares, one of the comments here ended up being exactly where we found him and I can’t express my gratitude. I am truly amazed how swiftly this little state showed up for us. Thank you, Rhode Island (and surrounding states), New Englanders may be rough but we take care of our own 🥲
