A Simple Question About Dalya Attar’s Campaign (BALTIMORE – June 12, 2026) – There is something about politics that never ceases to amaze me. The more power some people acquire, the more they seem to believe that the rest of us are not paying attention. Driving through the 41st District recently, I noticed several campaign signs bearing the message: RE-ELECT DALYA ATTAR FOR STATE SENATE. Now, maybe it’s just me. But how exactly do you re-elect someone who was never elected to the office in the first place? Dalya Attar was elected as a delegate. She was not elected by…

(BALTIMORE – June 11, 2026) – The road to Maryland’s 2026 primary election has been an interesting one. For state candidates, much of the activity intensified following the conclusion of the General Assembly session. Other races, such as County Executive contests, have been building steadily for months. Now, with early voting underway and Election Day approaching, the time for campaigning is quickly giving way to the time for accountability. Before discussing endorsements, let us first commend every candidate who stepped forward and ran for office. And we do mean every candidate. Whether we agree with their positions or not, it…

(BALTIMORE – June 10, 2026) – Boy, this has been one heck of an election season in Baltimore. The level of political activity is something to marvel at as it all comes to a head in a few hours. The election is finally here, and I’m sure candidates have a whole lot on their minds as reality settles in. This year is a statewide election. All 24 Maryland jurisdictions are choosing their state senators and delegates, along with county executives, state’s attorneys, and sheriffs. While everybody is locked in on the June 23rd primary, there’s also a general election in…

(OWINGS MILLS, MD – June 10, 2026) – These are the toughest stories to write—about people you have known for decades. One day, you realize you haven’t checked in, and then, unexpectedly, you see the news on Facebook. Your heart drops. You pause. And then it hits you all at once: she got her wings. That was my Sunday morning. I couldn’t believe it. The memories came rushing back—lessons she taught me, words she spoke over me, the life she insisted was possible if I simply kept the faith. Shina Parker was a Godly woman who lived by the Word.…

(BALTIMORE – June 10, 2026) – Planners in Baltimore continue to design transportation systems for the citizens they *wish* existed rather than the citizens who are actually here. This disconnect is at the heart of why so many mobility projects, especially bike‑focused Complete Streets initiatives, fail to reflect the lived realities of Black residents in the Black Butterfly. When a neighborhood is asking for streetlights, grocery stores, safe crossings, traffic calming, functioning sidewalks, and economic investment, and instead receives a bike lane, it sends a clear message: The City is not planning for the people who live here; it is…
