D.C. residents deserve the same right to govern themselves as every other community.
Yet House Republicans, who know little about D.C., are pushing bills that meddle in what should be local decisions.
I stand with D.C. leaders against these harmful attacks.

“Imagine if Congress declared Wyoming a Federal Natural Resource District…managed by the government and no longer have congressional representation.
Republicans would of course be appalled. Disenfranchising 600,000 people who live in Wyoming would be immoral.”

Dems need to get serious about DC statehood. For real.
No more pussyfooting. With troops in the streets, the time is now.

Montgomery Blair High School students closed out the school year by rejecting cruelty, gathering in community, and affirming the dignity of all people. They're teaching us a lesson.

Frustrating indeed. The council could also spend more on DC Statehood efforts so that we have a fighting chance of being represented in Congress. We currently spend 300k on becoming the 51st state. You get what you pay for.
People really need to start demanding more from the members of Congress. The leadership on BOTH sides has been so frustratingly passive.
They knew we were dealing with man who could be manipulated & who didn’t like diplomacy. He’s been talking reckless for weeks — & Congress did nothing.

George Washington was called the American Cincinnatus-a high honor.
The Roman Cincinnatus did his duty, handed back power, and happily returned to his farm.

Proud that our students will not sit by or stay silent as their Blair classmate was taken by ICE. We cannot stay quiet and hope for the best when the worst is already happening. It’s time to flex. To organize. To work harder and smarter. It’s all hands on deck.
