Wild. I can smell it all the way up in Old Goucher.

Has anyone else noticed that central Baltimore smells like sulphur the last few days?

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Just found this in my mailbox. Can’t wait to give it a listen.

A cassette tape and a note to me that says “Thanks Carl! - B+A”

whoa. Every single one of the Sinclair advert buyers on this list is automotive or automotive related (insurance). That is one aspect of the power in our society held by car companies that I haven't seen studied enough.

Anthony's Spinning Circles here too! @circlesspinning.bsky.social · 17d

For those in #Sinclair and #Nexstar markets.... #Boycott the advertisers!! After all, Disney got the message that way! There may be some you can’t, but there are some you can!

One of the absolute bottom line things I want to see in a Democratic politician now: a commitment to prosecute the crimes and criminals of the Trump regime. Absent this, the United States will never recover from this nightmarish, depraved, corrupt administration. Game over, man.

I co-authored an op-ed in today's Baltimore Sun about the need to think bigger and reimagine the future of the Jones Falls river.

Don’t trash the Jones Falls (again) | GUEST COMMENTARY

The Jones Falls valley is one of Baltimore’s greatest untapped assets, but a new city proposal puts that potential in jeopardy, local organizers write.
