Hagerstown Rapid Response @hagerstownrapidresponse.com · 11/10/2026
Diversified Capital’s CFO gave Commissioner Jeff Cline campaign cash. Washington County officials met with the developer in secret under an NDA. Residents were kept in the dark. This is called corruption, and three commissioners involved want another term.

I went peepee in the potty today. Aced it. There was a sink and a tub and a trash can but I didn’t peepee in any of those. I used the potty. The part where you should lift the seat cover first is very easy. They say “which part do you pee in?” And I say “the water part.”

Ground zero for these ICE warehouses is Hagerstown / Williamsport, Maryland. 5.6 miles from here, county commissioners pushed an ICE detention center behind closed doors. This is what it looks like when a community refuses to stay quiet! ✊ #NoKings #NoKingsNoCamps

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

It is quite telling that since the horrific story of Cesar Chavez re: sexual abuse broke earlier this week and calls to change the names of schools and other public spaces named in his honor, not one conservative voice has stepped forward to object that this would be tantamount to erasing history.

The simplest change Congress could make to ICE would be making agents/officers explicitly personally and civilly liable for wrongfully detaining US citizens. That would instantly change a lot of the behavior we see on the streets.

Special prosecutors on day 1. Everyone in this administration who broke laws— including every ICE agent who ever kidnapped anyone— must go to prison. All of Epstein’s buddies prosecuted too, Democrat or Republican doesn’t matter. Has to be this way or this country won’t survive.

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.
