The fact that Republican extremists want to continue to disenfranchise D.C. voters is simply racist.
Make sure your Congresspeople know that you expect them to support statehood for D.C.
Speak out for voting rights. Oppose voter suppression!

Did you know the “Big Beautiful Bill” might block free IRS tax filing, deregulate gun silencers, and add red tape to child tax credits? It's not just about taxes—there's a lot packed in. Don’t take my word for it—dig in and see for yourself. 📜🔍 #DoYourResearch

Yeah, Democracy was rough. Not having neighbors rounded up & sent to concentration camps, not wasting $200 mn on a futile bombing raid, not forcing the military to put on a parade for his birthday, not kicking millions off healthcare so oligarchs could pay less tax, not killing cancer research ..

Remembering Melissa Hortman “the most consequential speaker in state history”
“She demonstrates how being a steely negotiator and showing toughness isn’t in tension with being human and warm and likable,”
“She fought for people, she stood with people”

I don't recall hearing about any flights loaded with known criminals being sent to the US by any foreign government. On the other hand, Trump forced 1500 known criminals onto the streets of the US.

The President of Colombia has seemingly just announced 50% retaliatory tariffs on all American goods.
