STATE HOUSE — Three activists were arrested for trespassing Friday night at the State House after they refused to leave one of Gov. Charlie Baker's offices, trying to convince the governor to join them in sounding a nuclear alarm.
Citing safety concerns, Cape Downwinders has called on Baker to ask that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission immediately close Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, which is scheduled to close in 2019.
As it started the school year last week, Brown University sought to confront mounting criticism that it had fostered the development of "safe spaces" on campus where students would be shielded from controversial opinions on race, sex, or other topics deemed to be politically sensitive, offensive, or otherwise off-limits.
In a Washington Post op-ed, and later in her Brown convocation speech, Brown President Christina Paxson denied that there was even a thing as "safe spaces" on campus.
