William Henry Lee, principal P S 103 when Thurgood Marshall attended the school along with Cab Calloway. He gave Thurgood a copy of the U S Constitution to read when he needed to be sent to “time out!” “by the time I graduated from that school, I knew the Constitution by heart!”

Baltimore, ICYMI: today we announced legislation to establish a new agency which will serve as the third branch of public safety in Baltimore City.
The Department of Neighborhood Safety (DNS) will support the progress and hard work of @BaltimoreMONSE, and will create a new, comprehensive alternative response system to ensure that when residents call 911, they receive a response that meets their needs.
This is a major step forward in building the future of public safety in our city.

Watching the Ravens enter the 4th quarter up 2 scores and end up winning by 3 scores instead of imploding.

Plan a detour or open Waze.

A Baltimore native is going viral for celebrating her college graduation in a way unique way.
Latia Carter, a recent Coppin State University graduate, earned her bachelor's degree with honors in computer science and mathematics last month. The 25-year-old first-generation college graduate marked the achievement by posting a rap video about her journey.
The video has reached more than 1.3 million views and helped her gain more than 10,000 followers. Carter says the response has led to job opportunities, speaking engagements and interview requests.
Born and raised in Baltimore, Carter says she wanted to celebrate beating the odds and hopes to continue making music while pursuing a doctoral degree in the future.

It bears repeating that no fake OR illegal mail-in ballots were distributed. The wording in President Trump's continued posts about Maryland's elections creates an environment of misinformation on a voting right. Mail-in voting is not a partisan issue. Mail-in voting is legal.

This is the Baltimore they don't want you to see:
A state-of-the-art rec center in West Baltimore, a community that's been disinvested in for generations.

Welcome to Baltimore, Vega Ioane. The Ravens get one of the cleanest prospects in the class — and turn down the chance to draft Rueben Bain.
His 2025, per PFF:
311 pass block snaps
0 sacks allowed
0 hits allowed
4 hurries allowed
And many pancakes.

Justice Jackson is sole member of #SCOTUS not to join Justice Thomas' opinion in a Louisiana environmental case involving Chevron. As is often the case when she goes it alone, it has to do with her reading of legislative history and congressional intent. Doing her best to keep the dying ember of purposivism alive on an originalist court.
