Marceline White @therealmarceline.bsky.social · 14/04/2026First, politics, then poetry. Maryland's 2026 legislative session ended at midnight last night. It was exhausting. Some great things were accomplished but when it came to affordability, Maryland legislators missed the mark. There was so much more that could have been done. 010
