🚨Kilmar is a father, a worker, and a community member. He was wrongfully deported, imprisoned, and tortured. Despite court orders and his return to the U.S., he faces renewed threats of deportation. This isn't justice, it’s a vendetta. Bring him home NOW. #FreeKilmar wearecasa.org/justice4kilmar

A federal court allowed the “defund” provision targeting Planned Parenthood health centers to take effect. What does this mean? Patients cannot use Medicaid to pay for their care at Planned Parenthood health centers.

Maryland charges over 1,000 kids each year as adults—the same bad law Trump is calling for in DC. No kid belongs in adult court or adult jail. It's past time for Maryland to end this shameful practice. Visit bit.ly/ProtectMDYouth to sign the petition now. Our kids deserve better.

Violence tears communities apart. Humanitarians help rebuild them. On World Humanitarian Day, we remember: War and conflict never produce peace and stability. But humanity might.

This is big! Our state just made it easier for folks to apply for government benefits! This new website will make eliminate the need for people to repeatedly share their personal and financial information in order to access aid. 'Maryland Benefits' is now live at marylandbenefits.org!

The MAGA Republican budget plan will make healthcare + groceries more expensive for us by slashing $ for Medicaid and food assistance to finance more tax breaks for the very rich + big corporations. This bill, along with Trump's tariffs, will make things even worse for us. This can't happen!

The MAGA budget is the largest billionaire tax cut in history. This big bad budget will make healthcare + groceries more expensive for us by slashing $ for Medicaid and food assistance to finance more tax breaks for the very rich + big corporations. Shame. The House must stop this dangerous bill!

Senate Republicans blocked Senator Merkley's amendment to prevent officials from selling access and enriching themselves with crypto schemes. They're very busy cutting health care to pay for billionaire tax cuts, but still found time to protect the Trump family's corruption. Outrageous.

Understand this: Senate Republicans are committing a fraud on the American people and violating Senate rules to hide how much their billionaire tax giveaway actually costs. I broke down their brazen scam on the Senate floor yesterday. Watch⬇️

Senate Republicans claim they're going after waste in Medicaid, but all they’re doing is adding bureaucratic red tape to kick millions of eligible recipients off their health care — to pay for billionaire tax cuts.
 Make no mistake: if they succeed in gutting Medicaid, people will die.

No war with Iran. War will never make anyone safer. Our tax dollars should be used to ensure that everyone in our country has their basic needs met, not to end and destroy the lives of people across the world. We all lose with war.

Baltimore judge orders EPA to restore $180M in environmental justice grants

The Supreme Court is nearing the end of its term and will soon release decisions in major cases (potentially as early as tomorrow). We wrote about the rulings to watch for that could further roll back our fundamental freedoms, dismantle our democracy, and restrict access to healthcare. 👇

On May 16, Moore vetoed more bills than he had in the past two years combined, including multiple proposals that had passed with strong backing from legislative leadership and key climate coalitions. baltimorebeat.com/moore-vetoes...

This piece from Rachel Baye featured on NPR today via WYPR tells a haunting story. Because we have 33 crimes that lead youth to automatically be charged as adults, we lead the country in the number of youth charged as adults, second only to Alabama.

This will cost us in so many ways, from the loss of federal funding as a penalty, to the trauma and suffering we are inflicting on a generation of young people – specifically young Black boys.

🧵 Maryland is leading the country when it comes to our youth for all the wrong reasons. Our state has the highest number of violations of federal standards for youth kept in adult jails. 7x HIGHER than the allowable number of violations.

Happy Pride Month from Advance Maryland! We proudly stand with you—not just in the month of June, but always. ✊🏳️‍🌈

Today, we honor a revolutionary. Malcolm X taught us the power of truth, self-respect, and unwavering courage. His legacy lives on in every voice that speaks truth to power. ✊

Incredible turnout to support birthright citizenship at SCOTUS today! To question birthright citizenship at all is obscene, but do not be distracted by the Trump administration that is at the heart of this case. They want to destroy the checks and balances principles our country was founded on.

This Mental Health Action Day, dedicate one hour for yourself, your loved ones, or your community. Whether it's a walk, a conversation, or a quiet moment, small actions can make a big difference. Prioritize your mental well-being. You deserve it. ❤

As this piece explains, the CTC expansion the House Ways & Means Cmte proposes would provide no CTC increase to millions of kids in low-income working families, with families in the bottom 20% by income getting just 2% of the new CTC benefits and families in top 20% getting nearly 10 times as much

BREAKING: The Maryland PSC has opened a case to investigate BGEs gas safety inspection program to look into concerns over safety & financing for the program. BGE has spent $1.4B on their gas pipeline program, contributing to a tripling of our gas delivery rates and their massive corporate profits.

For those that don’t know, Baltimore City schools do not have school buses. Kids rely on public MTA buses to get them to school even though the buses are often unreliable and late. And yet, this rarely comes up when folks talk about truancy and student performance. #DoBetter

Villainizing our youth and believing they need more discipline is a story as old as time.

Our sky-high utility bills are already fueled by corporate greed. Now, we may have to pay even more to support big tech data centers in Virginia? This has to stop. Read more from the @thebaltimorebanner.com.
