(WASHINGTON, DC – March 9, 2025) – Is this truly what America stands for? Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sat in the Oval Office and was publicly berated by both U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. In front of the media, they essentially told him that he had no right to an opinion—especially one that didn’t align with their administration. It was as if they expected Zelenskyy to grovel before Trump. When my family moved back to the Westside of Baltimore, I was about eight years old. Before that, I was an Eastsider. One of my earliest…

(BALTIMORE – February 19, 2025) – The President of the Edmondson Village Community Association said it last week. So did Edmondson Village community advocate David Smallwood. The reason Lakesha Brown Wright-El did not vote for Malcolm Ruff was more troubling than many had hoped. Wright-El has remained silent on why she flipped her vote from Delegate Malcolm Ruff (D-Baltimore City) to then-Delegate Dalya Attar (D-Baltimore City) for the state Senate seat.
