Let's-a-go!

@MobtownDare @mattgonter he got a state sinecure

@mattgonter needs to be used more as copypasta. whats our boy up too these days?

It’s coming back, now let’s go get all the Bluesky people we lost I miss them

Sure West Baltimore. 🖤

@_Patriot_News @mddems

@mddems You people are so sad. You’re just going to ignore facts and statistics that prove Maryland and Baltimore are turning into violent, unaffordable shit holes to pull the racism card. When you’re too ignorant and brainwashed for debate, you cry racism.

The short answer: yes. thegrio.com/2026/04/10/sin…

@Baltobabs1000 @chrispapst I mean formally diagnosed disabilities. The difference from other jurisdictions is pretty large, and along with the other characteristics that correlate with lower standardized achievement scores, missing from this analysis.

@IanMWolfe @chrispapst Their disability is shit for brains parents and no consequences at school, just passed along to the next grade. Graduating with a 3rd grade education is pretty good in Baltimore. Then they whine because they are poor.

Same story/different year Baltimore City Schools proposed 2027 budget is $1.95 BILLION. A 46% increase over 9 years! Baltimore has Maryland’s: -Lowest SAT scores -Lowest graduation rate -Lowest English proficiencies -Lowest attendance -High chronic absenteeism -Highest dropout

@mattgonter @SageAnirban “Another nail in what might turn out to be a coffin,” that phrase we all know and love

Like with Jim Cramer, if you bet the opposite of whatever @SageAnirban predicts, you'll be rich. Worst case scenario is Towson TC is rebuilt as a retail/residential complex like Hunt Valley Mall/Towne Center or Parole Plaza/Annapolis Town Center. It's not fucking Marley Station.

@tsutton94 Restricting sale of noxious plants has a long history. For the callery pear specifically, Ohio, Pennsylvania and South Carolina have already banned its sale, and other states are on the way. nebraskapublicmedia.org/es/news/news-a…

Um, now you’re banning trees??

@Not4Dmver @MarylandDNR South Carolina banned sale of the callery pear two years ago.

@MarylandDNR Only in the communist state of Maryland can selling trees be illegal. Un-fing believable

That white-flowered tree taking over Maryland roadsides? It's now illegal to sell. Every spring, it puts on a show. White blooms line the highways, pack the median strips, spill down the exit ramps. It looks like it belongs here. It absolutely does not. The Bradford pear, also called callery pear, is one of the more consequential landscaping mistakes of the last half century. Weak wood that splits in storms. A lifespan measured in decades, not generations. Stinky flowers. And once it escapes a yard or a parking lot, it spreads aggressively into natural areas and crowds out the native plants that Maryland wildlife actually depends on. Maryland expanded restrictions on its sale and possession earlier this year. If you already have one, you're not in violation, but when it goes down, consider replacing it with something that earns its place in the landscape: 🌸 Eastern redbud 🌼 Flowering dogwood 🍓 Serviceberry 🌿 Wild American plum Learn how to identify and remove this tree at ow.ly/4WIl50YH2Qh

@elonmusk What’s the answer?

6/ I asked the follow-up to both approvers and disapprovers b/c open-ended questions can sometimes reveal opinions that you weren't expecting. Frankly, if you're interested in perceptions of dishonesty and trust, please direct your attention to this part of the poll: (yikes)

@MobtownDare @baltimoresun *AN* IG should have these powers

@baltimoresun When she started this, I thought yes. Since then and hearing her responses, probably not.

Editorial: Let Baltimore voters settle the question of whether Inspector General Isabel Mercedes Cumming should have full access to city records. bit.ly/3PQXlLQ

@TeutonBrah @blencka @JacoMajor Perkins is changing fast. It’s a mixed income community now

@blencka @JacoMajor I wasn’t aware of the Whole Foods. Not exactly the most economical place to shop, though. I stayed on the corner of Gough and Wolfe. There was a rough housing project two blocks away. I wouldn’t call the place a shit hole, but I also wouldn’t call it up and coming

top 10 fastest growing economy, fastest dropping crime rate... Baltimore is your *last chance* to live the "boomer dream" and get the historic walkable city rowhouse for <300k in America. there are maybe *months* left.

@PrettymanM29504 @TeutonBrah @blencka @JacoMajor Robbery and larceny are also down, inclusive of youth.

@TeutonBrah @blencka @JacoMajor Don’t listen to this guy. He has to justify his $2500 a month rent or the 500k row house he just bought. And is too embarrassed to admit he lives in a shit hole. And although violent crime is down robberies, street take overs, and petty theft is rampant. No controlling the youth

@kellyb019283 @JacoMajor Land of pleasant living, baby

@IanMWolfe @JacoMajor Lol enjoy your shithole

@noahjoshin @mattyglesias The pew study found a national correlation

@mattyglesias Lmao Austin again. 100 degree summers in a third-tier desirability city that had its high tech job market plummet. You people are insane.

We got another new study confirming that new "luxury" housing pushes down prices for lower-end units. slowboring.com/p/build-baby-b…

@kellyb019283 @JacoMajor The piss is from you fine folk in town for the game.

@JacoMajor Anyone saying this has never walked the piss laden alleys 6 blocks north of the harbor, nor been mugged by a teen with a steak knife after an Orioles game. The opportunities for cultural enrichment abound.

@sandwich_mafia @Dartagan_Llore I mean he beat Cox by over 32 points, and there’s a non-zero chance Dan could be the challenger again.

@Dartagan_Llore Bet he doesn’t win by double digits?

“ most Marylanders” … Wes Moore is going to win reelection by double digits and the person who posted this will be confused cuz they don’t live in the same reality as the rest of us…

@Youmadbro30 @Dartagan_Llore

@Dartagan_Llore 😂 his polls are declining at an alarming rate. If it continues at the current rate he will be pushing 42% approval. He is going to struggle winning this election. His only hope to win is that no other person can gain enough support. Right now most are divided right now.

NEW: A pair of Baltimore firefighters died more than 2 years ago. The city still hasn’t told the public what happened. But The Banner has obtained the 300-page report. Read it here: thebanner.com/community/crim…
