OP-ED: Redevelopment Without Respect Is Not Revitalization

(BALTIMORE – May 17, 2026) – For years, residents of Edmondson Village have been told redevelopment was coming. We were told it would improve our quality of life, strengthen the corridor, and breathe new energy into West Baltimore. But increasingly, many longtime residents are asking a simple question: Redevelopment for whom? Let me be clear: no one is against redevelopment of the Edmondson Village Shopping Center. We understand the need for investment. We understand that communities evolve. What many of us oppose is a process that feels disconnected from the people who actually live here. On May 14, 2026, during…

Trump leading a White House that too often feels more like political theater than principled leadership, racial resentment has become louder, bolder, and more comfortable showing its face publicly. The behavior I see online daily is beyond disturbing. Much of it is ugly, ignorant, and rooted in a hatred many people…

The 41st District Deserves Better

(BALTIMORE – May 17, 2026) – As early voting approaches in Maryland’s June 23 Democratic Primary, voters in the 41st Legislative District face a serious decision about the future of their representation in Annapolis. This race is not about religion. It is not about ethnicity. And it should not become a fight between Black and Jewish communities that have lived side by side in Baltimore for generations. This is about leadership, accountability, and the district’s future. State Senator Dalya Attar is currently under federal indictment in a case involving allegations of extortion, hidden recordings, and efforts to silence a political…
