@baltimoresun NO! Marylanders DO NOT want new data centers. Kelly Schulz and people like her are pushing lies about AI data centers. Research and experience tell us they are BAD, harmful investments with noise, pollution, high electricity and water usage. BAD BUSINESS! We want
GOOD business.
Franklin Square residents wanted a stop sign at Calhoun & Fayette for decades. Three weeks ago, 60 residents/allies shared why. After meetings with @MayorBMScott@BmoreCityDOT and BUILD’s action, there’s a new stop sign! Grateful for this big step forward. #MakeFreedomConcrete
Up to 2,600 Maryland residents, including 1,500 households, could lose federal housing aid as the Department of Housing and Urban Development shifts funding from permanent supportive housing; grants expire Jan. 31, with awards due Dec. 1. Lower Shore nonprofits say they lack capacity — Diakonia’s Ken Argot warns: “There is nowhere for them to go.” Maryland and other states are challenging HUD's funding changes in court, with the outcome potentially determining which programs retain federal support.
The Baltimore Children and Youth Fund awarded $250,000 in taxpayer funds this year to a nonprofit that hasn't had a publicly available tax form since 2023, raising transparency concerns about how it spends tax dollars. https://t.co/d6JGJ9h3YH
We have a SERIOUS problem with accountability in the Baltimore area. Police say there is little they can do about a man living in a #sewer like the killer clown from the movie "IT" despite his harassment of a mom's children in Baltimore County b/c the sewer is "public property."
Like our Baltimore youth, these NC youth #inspire us! Students at HBCU North Carolina A&T and UNC Greensboro fought voter suppression by peacefully marching 45 mins. to cast their votes, after the Republican State Board of Elections removed on-campus polling places. --Laura Orem
Many thanks to the Columbia Journalism Review for the nice write-up about the recent piece in @BaltimoreBrew by @MaddiONeill about ICE. https://t.co/ancWDvkDeD
Nayeli remains in @ICEgov detention more than a week after this story ran. #wegotalaurel@CJR
MD is in unique position 2 arguably be most transit-oriented state in the country. Most of state's population is clustered around DC & Baltimore, and concentrated in corridor btwn the two, only 40 miles apart. ⬆️ MARC frequency and Baltimore rapid transit would be transformative.
Important Update: One year after the initial request on October 22, 2025, the Baltimore City Office of the Inspector General has finally received the requested documents.
The OIG will now move forward with its Charter-mandated responsibility to investigate fraud, waste, and abuse, ensuring accountability and protecting the interests of Baltimore City taxpayers.
We sincerely thank the residents of Baltimore City for their continued trust, patience, and unwavering support of our mission.
Our commitment to transparency, integrity, and independent oversight remains steadfast.
@emilyopilo@LeeOSanderlin Essentially, the math might not math for this project.
Other details: Rents in one of the apartment buildings might reach $7,000. Room rates at a hotel could be $550/night.

We are so excited for our #Halloween party next week! Halloween doesn't have to be scary. It can be peaceful, soulful, and safe for the children. 😌☮️🙏🏾 The count-down has begun!
Baltimore City Councilman James Torrence has introduced a bill that would allow licensed nonprofits to legally use dirt bikes for youth education programs, creating an exception to the city's long-standing ban on the vehicles.
The proposal would establish a licensing system for educational organizations, exempt them from certain riding restrictions, and give them first claim on dirt bikes the city seizes and sells at auction. The bill now heads to the City Council's Public Safety Committee, though key details including which organizations would qualify, where they could ride, and what safeguards would apply remain unresolved.
Big get here from @LeeOSanderlin, @emilyopilo and Giacomo Bologna: a confidential document shows Harborplace, in line for one of the biggest tax breaks in city history, may struggle to attract investors https://t.co/y00e8hEtjY
Baltimore County police have arrested and charged three teenage boys after a string of commercial burglaries across the county.
