#statehoodForDC
Black voting power means DC Statehood. Period.

I spoke at the Progressive Baptist National Convention about attacks on Black voting rights—and why DC must be part of that conversation. Taxation without representation has no place in modern America.

First, pay your taxes. If you’re doing well enough to be asked to be taxed more, congratulations.

Second, to undermine the very existence of a government because they assigned you a tax? You don’t deserve to earn money in that jurisdiction, benefitting from its services.

Third, #statehoodForDC
Interesting: DoorDash is supporting the GOP bill in Congress to limit D.C.'s ability to increase or decrease taxes and fees, largely in response to the D.C. Council's recent vote in impose a new 20-cent delivery fee to help fund food-access programs. www.notus.org/metro/uberea...
That Food Delivery Is Soon Going To Cost You a Little More in D.C.
DoorDash unsuccessfully fought a 20-cent fee approved by the D.C. Council that will also affect UberEats deliveries.

If you live in DC, you know there is a zero % chance that "vandals" could have slipped unobserved into a major, illuminated national monument and done this work with a knife.

I wonder if even Trump himself can believe this.

No sane person could.
Ted Lieu: “There is a 24/7 camera that shows the reflecting pool. If someone went into the pool and made a 250 foot gash, it would have been seen

trump is lying again. Everyone knows it, but the people at the Justice Dept are randomly going after people to soothe trump’s fragile ego”

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

Statehood for DC! #StatehoodForDC
I stand with workers, with immigrants, and with everyone who calls DC home.

On May Day, we’re reminded that our fights are connected. From the picket line to the push for a free DC, this is about us having power over our lives.

We show up. We stand together. And we don’t stop.

The 2028 Democratic Platform MUST include the following:

1. Statehood for DC

2. Expand the Supreme Court to 13

I moved from DC to MD and I am happy I will have more options to get involved. I hate that DC folks are hamstringed when it comes to what they can vote on and what is just decided. #statehoodforDC
Yea, I think I need to go ahead, get politically active, and start a petition smh

I may need to talk to my local representative first too & make a game plan.

The duty of being a concerned citizen is hard but necessary one

#FreeDC #StatehoodforDC we STILL have disproportionately white Guards from places like WV and OH keeping the colonists in their place.
The National Guard is still patrolling DC, carrying handguns & long rifles, patrolling vibrant community spaces in packs to intimidate residents, especially Black residents, of the city.

Keep that in mind as you see the videos of them handing out pizza & coffee in MN.

Republicans claim we are promoting democracy in Venezuela while continuing to deny democratic representation to hundreds of thousands of Americans in our nation's capital.

Rick Scott: "I'm glad the president didn't just take Maduro and walk away. I'm glad that he's committed to freedom and democracy in Venezuela. Now, I can't tell you how they're going to get there ... "

Trump literally just signed an executive order directing AG Pam Bondi & drunk U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to reinstate the death penalty in DC.

This disgusting act is authoritarian overreach that tramples decades of local democracy & imposes a policy DC residents overwhelmingly rejected.

Reject the slippery slope they’re trying to push this country onto.
#StatehoodForDC not their obscene T authoritarianism
