We know local news hyper-fixates on violent crime to the exclusion of most other things but I feel like I have a particularly clear perspective on this via @ggwash, because every morning we put together a round-up of news coverage of those “other things.” And it’s getting harder.
Standard reminder that while I write for them sometimes, @ggwash pays me in nothing but the ability to nag people to read stuff I wrote not on Twitter, and, like, to impress my 2012 self.

Was feeling this a bit in the past few months with the absence of @DCist. With that said, solid local media orgs like @ggwash are doing the work.

A very big pro-housing win in Maryland today, in no small part because of the work of @justupthepike & @ggwash, both this year and in the years leading up to it.
honestly it hasn't set in yet but I am so grateful and proud of everything we did over the past three months. more to say soon, but for now I think we all deserve a nap
Congratulations to @ggwash, their lead Maryland advocate @justupthepike, and all the pro-housing advocates in the Old Line State for this big win. The top priority bill, HB 538, which now heads to the governor, will significantly expand housing options near transit.
All three of Governor Moore's housing bills pass the Senate: ggwash.org/view/93210/bre… marylandmatters.org/2024/04/06/sen…
