My son just handed me a form to sign so he can take sex education. Which means parents are still being given the option to opt out of sex education for kids. Which explains why some of our fellow twitter users are so confused about basic human functions.
NEW: The NYPD is spending $390 million on a new, encrypted radio system.
It’s no small detail: The New York Daily News obtained the crucial video of Officer Daniel Pantaleo killing Eric Garner thanks to a call that came over the police radio
Several children were caught breaking into one of the many Baltimore City pools that remain closed with their gates chained. The break-in was caught on Monday. Footage details the children breaking in, setting up "camp", and entering the water along with a scooter.
There is a story on the timeline about a husband who refuses to scoop kitty litter for his pregnant wife because he didn’t want a cat in the first place and let me tell you one thing I know for absolutely sure:
Through our Re-Fund The Police initiative, the state is matching all Crime Stoppers rewards that lead to arrests.

Every single day I log onto the internet and learn information about three people and it’s all completely against my will. Those three people are Elon Musk, alleged rapper Blueface, and his girlfriend Chrisean Rock.
I assume these kind of tweets are fulfilling some kind of community based consent decree obligation. Anyway, American policing grew out of slave catching.
Folks, today I tested positive for COVID again.
This happens with a small minority of folks.
I’ve got no symptoms but I am going to isolate for the safety of everyone around me.
I’m still at work, and will be back on the road soon.
I’m not going to click this because the headline is bad enough. I’ll remind people that a Baltimore home that had a Pride flag on display was lit on fire a few months ago, during Pride month.
Big news 🎉We have invested $150K in

To whoever came into my very quiet neighborhood and ONLY smashed a window out of MY car,
@baltbeat
will still be coming out every two weeks from now until indefinite.
A white mom on Fox News is complaining that her mixed son now sees himself as “a Black man.” She’s suing the school, says CRT taught her son to not do his chores.
Baltimore institutions are absolutely unprepared for these young people and I love that for us and for the actual future safety of the city.
@BCPSSUnion
We're thrilled to announce a $4M investment to support 11 newsrooms centering people of color. Grantees were selected for their leadership in covering the threats affecting our democracy and the communities most impacted.
I talked to these young artists about how the work we are doing
@baltbeat
is archival. We are helping preserve elements of Baltimore culture that others miss because they don’t deem them important.
I keep seeing that Twitter is useless to news orgs and that might be true but it’s also an outlet for marginalized people to talk back to mainstream news in real time
Between everybody being sick, Kanye, the railroad strike, Good Morning Adultery, and continued Elon-related chaos, the mood on my timeline is: chaotic.
@annamccachren
After much consideration and prayer, my parents allowed it. A few years later I attended one of those dances where you have to promise to stay a virgin.
Baltimore: provides little to no resources for young people.
Young people: act like young people who have had virtually no resources provided for them.
Baltimore:
There’s really a community of people who sit on here and take joy in bad things happening in Baltimore. They especially love to hang out in the replies of news outlets and reporters. What absolute losers.
More than 3/4ths all journalists in the US are white.
The "whitest" beats:
-Energy and the environment (84% white)
-Sports (82% white)
This is per new data from
@pewjournalism
My goal for
@baltbeat
is talented staff and contributors who look like Baltimore and are in and of Baltimore. People talk like this is a hard thing to do. It’s not.
There’s a whole bunch of Black women who need advocating for. I’ve written about some of them. Baltimore’s well-paid and extremely influential mayor is not one.
