My favorite thing about Baltimore is that you always can just go up to a complete stranger and talk to them. I’ve lived in so many different places and this is the only place that’s like pretty universal.

NEW: RFK Jr.'s "radical transparency" means ending a 54-year-old transparency policy.
A Nixon-era policy gave the public the ability to comment on HHS decisions relating to “public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts.“ RFK Jr. ended that on Friday. www.lawdork.com/p/rfk-jr-rad...

*Reminder: not all action has to be and actually, is organized or lofty.*
Action also happens *organically and within simplicity*. Mutual aid isn’t just weekends and narcan distribution it’s asking your neighbor what they need, it’s giving out the starter vegetables you have to thin out anyways
