Corli Jay, The TRiiBEβs community investment reporter was terminated by TRiiBE leadership on March 9 alleging that she had broken nonexistent company ethics rules. We believe this is retaliation for organizing a union. One Triibe United demands the immediate reinstatement of our member and voluntary recognition of our union.Β

"The truth is also that the conditions we see clearly in the light of day today have been brewing for decades β and one of the crucial insights that this forgetting has obscured, for many people, is that we are stronger together than we are alone." @catachresis.bsky.social
"Instead of feeling hopeless, Iβm finding myself more certain that we have the tools we need to win. ... Our remembering must be a part of a sophisticated political practice that encourages the exploration of ideas and experimentation (including learning from failure)." @catachresis.bsky.social

It's March 10, 1996, and the Orioles heaviest hitter is back with a single-minded focus to be the best. Will this be the year he surpasses his old college teammate and decade-long rival? ghostsof96.beehiiv.com/p/march-10-r...
Over the weekend, we lost @loganhullinger.bsky.social baltimorebeat.com/in-memory-of...
I hope you'll take some time today to read some of his work, both with the Beat and his newsletter, Mobtown Redux, where he advocated for the rights of drug users with stories on addiction, drug policy and the harm reduction movement.
Very saddened by the sudden passing of my Baltimore Beat colleague Logan Hullinger, a terrific reporter, tireless harm reduction advocate, and standup community member. He would have turned 30 tomorrow. I enjoyed getting to know Logan, and hoped we would collaborate on many more assignments.
It's March 9, 1996. The O's have a new closer. He wears camouflage and keeps a hunting knife in his locker. He's a proven winner in the postseason. Can he provide peace of mind at the end of games this season? ghostsof96.beehiiv.com/p/march-9-ra...

Whatβs so sick about this is that they canβt even say what theyβre achieving. Are they going to make trans people cis by harassing and criminalizing them in this way? Are we going to be in Pleasantville 50βs imaginary gender utopia overnight? Of course weβre fucking not. Itβs just pure persecution
