Managing tech, finance, advocacy, kids, community, and life. Barely. If we're serious about democracy and equality then we need #DCStatehood now.
So powerfully true.
I remember when I first heard an establishment Dem here in DC state proudly that they “don’t like drama”.
Why take a leadership position if you’re not comfortable navigating through opposing views and letting all constituents be heard?

Something that must change in Democratic politics is the belief that democracy is “drama.”
Primaries and challenging leadership aren’t “drama,” it’s democracy.
Hesitation to participate in democracy only leads to an erosion of it.

A federal judge ruled yesterday that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in D.C. was unlawful.
It illegally infringes upon the city’s ability to direct law enforcement and undermines Congress’s local authority, the ruling says.

The 2,300 Guardsmen aren’t headed home just yet, though.

We stand united against all 13 anti–DC Home Rule bills in Congress.
DC is home to more than 700,000 residents who pay taxes, run businesses, and serve in the military. Like all Americans, we deserve the right to set our own local laws.
Congress should reject this unprecedented federal overreach.

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Someone defaced my #DCstatehood sign today. Guess they didn’t know that statehood IS voting rights!
They prob also don’t know the sign is easily reversible….

I'm here outside Speaker Johnson’s office because he is starving families and gutting health care to cover up the Epstein Files.

As a DC resident I would call this fairly important
wasn't really an issue in the election but low key important that with spanberger as governor D.C. will be bordered by two states whose national guards are led by democrats

Sorry I refuse to entertain the complete non-existent world where white people don’t know that countless cultures, including some of their own but certainly diasporic racialized ones, call their mom’s cousin’s friend’s sister they grew up with “cousin” and call close women elders “aunt/auntie”

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Contest every race. Have a candidate in every race on every ballot in every county in every state.
Run even if you know you can’t win. Run because you know you can’t win.
No seat uncontested. Bring the fight to every ballot.

Meeting once every 27 months isn’t really the energetic focused Statehood leadership I want from our DC mayor…
The New Columbia Statehood Commission is meeting this coming Monday, October 27 for the first time since *July 20, 2023*…
The Commission “provides support to the shadow Congressional Delegation in promoting statehood for DC and voting rights for DC residents.”
