Literally ran into a dozen of them meandering around the Mall. Apparently sharing the sidewalk isn’t part of the safety protocol training 🙄

Remember this the next time Congress tries to tell DC they know better than us.

Remember this the next time Congress calls DC’s leaders unqualified.

Congress has blown open a massive budget hole for DC and doesn’t care about us enough to even take the “easy fix.” www.axios.com/local/washin...

Meanwhile DC residents are still waiting for the House to restore the $1.1 BILLION budget cut that was part of the CR.

The emergence of Sluggo from his mud puddle spa:

Building the cultural and political movement it will take to win dignity for DC and exert our right to self-determination starts with building relationships in our immediate community.

Heading: EQUAL PAY DAY Text: March 25 represents how far into 2025 women would have to work on top of the hours they worked in 2024 simply to match what men were paid in 2024. On an hourly basis, women were paid 18.0% less on average than men. Graph titled: Black and hispanic women experience the largest pay gaps

Today is #EqualPayDay, a reminder of the gender pay gap.

In 2024, women were paid 18% less than men per hour, on average. Black & Hispanic women experience even larger pay gaps.

The Trump admin's recent actions will worsen this gap and harm women & workers of color.
