BGE pressure regulator train wreck (which we began resisting in 2021 in our area) is classic example of public entities demonstrating a complete disregard for communities. Nonexistent communication, no proactive engagement, private deals for some areas, and no accountability. 1/2

Ugh... So Republicans can now talk about LGBTQ safety (never equal rights) only b/c it's an opportunity to bash Muslims. #progress ?

Pro tip of the day: knock doors on the east side of the block in the morning, the west side in the afternoon, the south side always... and the north side of the street in September or later!

@MosbyforMayor Regressive inasmuch as landlords will pocket tax savings while passing along trash fee costs. How would we prevent this?

Faith organizations like @BUILDBaltimore which fight for justice in our city--great. Faith organizations who endorse candidates--suspect.

@MiltononGreenSt @IanMWolfe Our entire family, between Fairmount and the Monument Street Bike Lane, when we're headed toward Mt. Vernon or anywhere north up the Jones Falls Trail. Fairmount to Monument is the only decently safe way to do that, and the gap is about four blocks of Washington. (1/2)
