#RhodeIsland resisters have been protesting outside the headquarters and branches of Citizens Bank for months due to the bank's ties to Geo and CoreCivic, which run the #ICE concentration camps. And now Citizens Bank has cut ties with those corporations! Way to go, Rhode Island! Small state, huge heart. https://rhodeislandcurrent.com/2026/07/17/citizens-bank-is-parting-ways-with-two-ice-contractors/#FuckICE #50501movement

JIM LOWE The Green Door / Four Walls U.S. 7” single reissue In 2006, I lived in #woonsocket #rhodeisland with my new wife in a shitty little apartment. I used to leave this little radio unit on during the day to give the pets some noise while we were gone. Id leave it on this local AM station called ON Radio, & hook it into a tape deck & record it onto 90min tapes, to see what weird shit I could capture. One day I heard this AWESOME song playing, & for years, I had NO IDEA what it was or who it was by. This is one of the greatest early rock and roll songs. It’s mysterious, has a super interesting production value, and just absolutely smokes. That bright, percussive honky tonk piano sounds AMAZING, and was achieved by songwriter Bob Davie by placing thumbtacks on the piano hammers and speeding up the tape during production. #vinyl #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #records #vintage #retro #physicalmedia #analog #cratedigging #vinylcollection #vinylfinds #rare #art #jimlowe

Boston.com | The founder of Alex and Ani is suing her sister, alleging misuse of the family’s R.I. jewelry business assets by The Boston Globe AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Jewelry designer Carolyn Rafaelian, founder of Alex & Ani, has filed a lawsuit against her sister Rebecca Rafaelian Caruolo alleging that Caruolo, as majority shareholder and president of the family‑owned Rhode Island jewelry company Cinerama, misappropriated its assets to secretly fund a new venture, Air & Anchor, which she claims is a knock‑off of Alex & Ani and was launched without Carolyn’s knowledge or consent. The complaint, filed in May 2026, says Caruolo used Cinerama’s factory, equipment, inventory, trade secrets, vendor relationships and goodwill to create Air & Anchor, effectively freezing Carolyn out of Cinerama and diminishing the value of her shares. Rafaelian is seeking damages, an injunction barring further use of Cinerama’s assets and goodwill, and the appointment of a receiver for Air & Anchor. The suit follows a turbulent period for Alex & Ani, which saw Rafaelian ousted in 2020 and the company file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2021 before being taken over by the private‑equity firm Lion Capital.
