On June 25, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Mullin v. Doe, ruling 6-3 that the Trump administration can move forward with terminating Temporary Protected Status for roughly 350,000 Haitians (and about 6,000 Syrians) living and working in the United States. In its ruling, the Court didn’t say the termination was wise, humane, or even lawful. What it said is arguably more alarming—and worth being precise about, because the ruling did two distinct things.

The primary election is just days away, and the midterm general elections will be upon us before we know it, so the Electoral Action Group of the Indivisible Maryland Coalition (a statewide network that we belong to, along with most of the other Indivisible chapters across the state!) has put together some wonderful resources related to candidate action, voter engagement, voter suppression, election subversion, and more—and we’re delighted to share a few of them here!

When we at Charm City Indivisible issue an endorsement, we always want to be clear that it rests on affirmative support for our endorsed candidate, not simply dislike of their opponent. While our decision to weigh in on a race may be influenced by a clear gap between the candidates, those who ultimately earn our endorsement do so on their own merits, not just as the lesser of two evils. Because of that, we generally refrain from commenting on why an endorsement was not offered to a particular candidate—we’d far rather talk about the strengths of the candidates we choose to endorse than the shortcomings of those we don’t! However, in the case of State Senate District 46, we’re making an exception.
We know this is a contentious race, with strong feelings on both sides—in the electorate and among our own membership—and so we want to be very deliberately transparent about our thought process. We also know, since we’ve mentioned that the incumbent, Senator Bill Ferguson, chose not to participate in our endorsement process, some may believe that we endorsed his opponent “by default,” or that the outcome might have been different had the Senator chosen to engage with us. We write today to correct that impression. […]
If you’ve been following our posts over the last several weeks, you know that we’ve been issuing endorsements in a number of races for the upcoming primary election! Now, we want to compile all of our recommendations in one place, so you can easily refer to them, share them, and get ready to go vote. So, without further ado, we’re thrilled to to present the Charm City Indivisible 2026 Primary Election Voter Guide! […]
Charm City Indivisible is thrilled to endorse Ashley Esposito for reelection to the Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners!
Plenty of candidates can tell you they believe in educational equity. What Ashley Esposito brings to it is a rare combination: she knows firsthand what vulnerable students need to thrive—because she was one of them—and she has the governance and systems experience to build that support into how the district works. Both of those things are real expertise, and together they make her exactly the kind of board member Baltimore’s kids need. She has earned our endorsement through her record, her values, and a vision for Baltimore’s schools that is as specific as it is ambitious. […]
