We can’t beat back fascism if we don’t fight it in every corner!

The lateral move to at large is perplexingβ€” unless you view it through the lens of the mailers that our taxpayer dollars were spent on to β€œintroduce” her to everyone.

A small win against fascism here in Maryland, but the fight continues!

I’ll never forget this quote:

β€œStaying out of primaries sounds small-D democratic, very intellectual, and very interesting,” said Hoyer. β€œBut if you stay out of primaries, and somebody wins in the primary who can’t possibly win in the general.”

They don’t believe in democracy.

Is it the job of voters in a congressional district to select the Dem nominee they wish to represent them or is it the job of the "Democratic leadership" in congress to interfere in active local primaries and dictate that "choice"?

An Open Letter from Project Salt Box in Support of HB 1575 and SB 791 The 287(g) ban closed one door, but the pipeline into ICE custody is still open.

Maryland banned 287(g). Within days, county sheriffs were on camera explaining how they'd keep working with ICE anyway.

That's why we support HB 1575 and SB 791 β€” the Community Trust Act.

Here's our open letter to the General Assembly urging them to pass these critical bills.

This is what happens when you line the government with 20-something year old groypers.

It’s shocking how many bus stops on busy routes lack basic lighting, seating, and shelter!

Pardoned Capitol rioter from Silver Spring arrested after videos show him touching strangers’ hair on Metro trains The 28-year-old from Silver Spring was charged with assault and battery after Sunday incident on Silver Line.

The criminals released by the Trump administration continue to stalk, harass, and assault people all over the US. In this case, Silver Spring bethesdamagazine.com/2026/03/03/p...

When I first moved to Hyattsville, my partner and I witnessed a pedestrian exit a Metrobus at this intersection and proceed to be hit by a driver and fly over 10 feet. After much persuasion (he was worried about ambulance costs), I ended up taking him to Holy Cross in the U-Haul to be checked out.

I’m so very tired of these vibes-based campaigns.

A campaign that has the time to film a video, call @jimacosta.bsky.social the night before launch, and setup a national text fundraising program has the time to add a policy and issues section to their website.

I’ve never come across a plan that is good. What fucks it over is that they can deny coverage for preexisting conditions, so by the time you realize your pet might need insurance, it’s already probably too late to have coverage for their problems.

I don’t think candidates that go around shopping for a congressional seat have the best interests of the district at heart.

You see no problem with him shopping around for a congressional district that will elect him?

Do you even have any principles or is it all just sports team rooting for you?

Voters should pick their representatives. Would-be representatives shouldn’t shop around a state for a set of voters.

You are not getting it. If you moved back to the district you were running in, there would be no problem. However, if you came back after 20 years and decided to run in Western Maryland, you’d be a carpetbagger. During Dunn’s MD03 primary, he was living in Montgomery County ffs.

He doesn’t live in the district, just like he didn’t live in MD03!

This is the same criticism I’ve had of April Delaney and David Trone.

If he wants to run for congress, he should run for the district he actually lives in.
