Lisa Kim and the for-profit group she hired are deceiving HoCo voters into signing this petition.

How do I know? They misrepresented the petition to me a few weeks ago.

Don’t sign and videotape the interaction if they approach you. It’s not ok to lie to voters.

[Howard County Times @HoCoTimes]

A citizens group has filed paperwork to give voters the opportunity to overturn Howard County’s new sanctuary county law, which prohibits county agencies from cooperating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. https://t.co/EMIPbABCJy

I’m a big fan of @benwikler. This guy goes out and gets shit done.

As one of Maryland’s voting members, here is my DNC Chair update. Share your opinions in this thread.

Great documentary—I watched this tonight in the city with several people featured in it, including @MayorBMScott. It was moving but also hopeful.

[Baltimore magazine @Baltimoremag]

"The Body Politic," the award-winning doc about Brandon Scott's first campaign for mayor and his plans to stem chronic violence, airs tonight at 9 p.m. on MPT and nationally on PBS at 10 p.m. We spoke to filmmaker Gabriel Goodenough last year. https://t.co/crltyGSfkP

This is why they want to close the Department of Education. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[Paul E Williams @PEWilliams_]

One major challenge with reversing the population (and electoral vote) shrinkage in blue states is that multifamily housing takes 3+ years to build.
So if you want people to move to your state before the next Census, you need to pass major housing supply reforms *in 2025*.

lol it’s a freakshow cabinet

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

It is going to be every bit as bad as we told you it was going to be. Maybe, worse.

[dylan mcdermott mulroney mara wilson fisk ✨ @bornofajackall]

This is, for the record, what republicans want to continue to exacerbate. An uninformed populace is one that will elect them, allow them roll back child labor laws, destroy the department of education, and then act surprised when their kids become forced laborers.

Bracing to see which of the shittiest of people will represent us on the world stage

Larry Hogan? Still trash #hoganistrash

[The Baltimore Banner @BaltimoreBanner]

BREAKING NEWS: Angela Alsobrooks wins Senate seat over Larry Hogan, becoming first Black woman to represent Maryland in the U.S. Senate https://t.co/acLjA2iagu

Very difficult to watch, but absolutely worth it.

I reviewed No Other Land for @thenation. A difficult film to watch, but a necessary one https://t.co/GObdiloXR5

Every time I criticize the Dems and someone says “so what’s the answer?”, I’ll just post this

This is cowardice, with democracy as its casualty. @realdonaldtrump will see this as an invitation to further intimidate owner @jeffbezos (and others). Disturbing spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.

[Ainy Kazmi @AinyKazmi]

This is crazy. News publications should follow the @BaltimoreBanner model, if possible.

It’s better to create nonprofit entities to counteract takeovers of city papers than create grants to benefit private equity firms.

[Poynter @Poynter]

When Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Blair Kamin ended his 28-year-run as the Chicago Tribune’s architecture critic, there was no named replacement. So, he decided to pay for one – out of his own pocket.

Here’s why he’s doing it: https://t.co/VcMFVSjdig

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

This is the defining moment of the VP debate.

Great finish here by Walz.

[Isaiah Martin @isaiahrmartin]

Let’s not forget, JD Vance is only on the debate stage tonight because Donald Trump’s thugs tried to hang his last running mate on January 6th.

Binders full of lists

[Igor Bobic @igorbobic]

Romney says he wouldn’t serve in Harris’ cabinet if she wins in November.

“I've got a long list of people she should consider. I'm not one of them.”

If only there was something Sulzberger could do beyond researching violence against journalists and then writing this op-ed.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The publisher of The New York Times, A.G. Sulzberger, has studied how attacks on press freedom have eroded democracies around the world. “This playbook should not be underestimated,” he writes in a @PostOpinions essay. https://t.co/0Hj0uFpsnW

I would like to know more about the nanjing style salted duck
