Ferguson’s comments here don’t track. (Speaking for myself, etc.) The Maryland Values Act would ban localities from entering into 287(g) agreements with ICE, where the localities *voluntarily* say their police will act as ICE agents.

Right now, I’m attending the #TeslaTakedown protest in Rockville, MD! Lots of people turned out, and LOTS of cars are honking in support.

I had a great time yesterday with the District 15 Democratic Caucus, writing postcards to likely Democrats in WI for their Supreme Court election.

The Trump administration is putting green transportation funding on the chopping block. One of the endangered grants is for Montgomery County: $24.8 million to build a new entrance to the North Bethesda metro station and make the nearby intersection safer for pedestrians.

Good morning. I’m writing this from Stonehenge. For the next four years and forever, let the work of our hands be beautiful, just, and true. Remember that despite their best efforts, the work will go on. Know that some of what we do now will endure. Let’s make it good.

I nearly froze my toes off handing out Democratic Party sample ballots at the polls in Damascus yesterday, but meeting this very real Maryland voter made it all worthwhile. (You can tell they are a real voter because of the “I Voted” sticker.)

Voting in Maryland and wondering which school board candidates are right-wing extremist weirdos? The Maryland Democratic Party has you covered.

Finally, here's a shareable graphic from the MDP contrasting Alsobrooks and Hogan on reproductive freedom.

Alsobrooks vs. Hogan on gun control:
October 10, 2024 at 11:42 PM
Alsobrooks supports Supreme Court reform, including expanding the Court (YES) and implementing term limits.

Hogan called Trump's justices "incredible" AFTER they overturned Roe.
October 10, 2024 at 11:28 PM
Hogan's repeating the talking point that he'll be "independent" and a "maverick" and "stand up to both parties." He also says, and this is a direct quote, "I stood up to Donald Trump more than anyone in America."

Meanwhile, in the real world:

I also joined a slate of other progressive MCDCC candidates. Six out of seven were successful! My then fiancé (now husband) managed my campaign, and our cat reminded me to take naps.

As a first-time candidate, I had no name recognition, so my friends and I knocked on 7,000 doors. I received over 67,000 votes, more than anyone else on the MCDCC. (Okay, it also didn’t hurt that the ballot listed candidates alphabetically.) Here’s the very cool certificate I got after my election!
