I think everyone in Baltimore woke up shocked and worried today. Then we logged on here to say that like we once did, and then a bunch of assholes got in to sell conspiracy, xenophobia and anti-blackness. It feels somewhat like 2015 but worse maybe because of 2024

Many in Maryland wants to legalize marijuana for votes and for revenue so that they can fund their other budget priorities. If we legalize, tax and regulate the income should go to those communities and people most directly affected by the war on drugs.

Talk about a deceptive headline. The headline says 300-500 *involved in fight.* The article says 300-500 teens were *at the harbor* when a fight broke out. This is the definition of collective responsibility. They assume all the teens at the harbor were involved in the fight.

Brandon is right. The people in the water and the people trying to rescue them are the immediate concern. The people in communities around the bridge are the next. No comment that anybody offers about rebuilding the bridge is at all informed at this point anyway.
