We need to take on corporate crime, esp this kind:
The UN has released the latest list of companies supporting and profiting from the Israeli regime’s crimes in occupied Palestine. Among the complicit companies are AirBnB, Booking. Com, Expedia, Motorola, TripAdvisor, and 209 others identified by name. #Boycott #BDS

The Biden admin never accepted that the Geneva Conventions applied to the Palestinians.

August saw this year's clearest example of why America needs ranked choice voting.

The solution? Ranked choice voting.

There's a real cost to the gerrymandering wars. Congress is less accountable, elections are harder to run, and voters are more frustrated.
The solution? Multi-member districts with proportional representation.

I am calling on @marylandpubtv to invite all four ballot-qualified candidates to the publicly-funded debate next month. In the longer-term, the General Assembly must codify that practice.
