Last year, congressional republicans barred DC from utilizing nearly $1 billion of its own revenue and attempting to block another.
Congress should respect D.C.’s decision-making and allow our self-governing!

Congress Must Allow D.C. to Spend Its Own Local Dollars
Congressional Republicans, who last year barred the District of Columbia from spending $1 billion of its own revenue in its 2025 budget, are now moving to block another DC law.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator.
The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him.
It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

700,000 Americans in DC have no congressional representation. We have no say in DHS and ICE funding or any other issue before the country.
Every candidate running for local office ought to have a clear, specific, and detailed plan to end that injustice, and to ensure #DCStatehood

I also think our local governments should be calling on Congress re articles of impeachment and condemning our war criminal president.
A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day.
Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

This is not an Administration focused on deporting “the worst of the worst.”

ICE shift in tactics leads to soaring number of at-large arrests, data shows
The agency has moved away from focusing on arresting migrants at local jails to tracking them down in communities, a Washington Post analysis found.

We spend very little on DC Statehood. We’re not serious about becoming the 51st State.
A statehood advocate claimed elected leaders are too comfortable within limited Home Rule and only give lip service to 51.

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.
