Proud to celebrate my birthday on 8/28, day to protest, lack of #DCStatehood NOW, any time
Happy 7⃣2⃣nd Birthday, Anise Jenkins! @MsFreeDC spoke at the #DreamMarchOnWashington with the #DouglassCommonwealthCoalition and then at @GoodTroubleDC's #MakeGoodTroubleRally. Still no #DCStatehood as a gift, but we're getting MORE VOCAL about our demands! #FreeDC #StatehoodNOW

Everyone has a role in addressing gun violence. Parents, faith institutions, schools AND the corporations that profit trillions of dollars from marketing movies, music and violent video games to children, that glorify gun violence.

I know people talk about freedom, but with freedom comes responsibility. Your decision to be unvaccinated impacts someone else. Please get vaccinated. For yourself. For the people you love. And for your country.

A big shout-out to all the #DCstatehood activists, especially @WTnDC, and our attorneys Mark Goldstone and Kenny Page! What a way to burst onto the local democracy scene back in the 90s! #FreeDCnow
@MsFreeDC and @FreeDCnow were arrested 22 years ago (July 29, 1999) and charged with “Disruption of Congress” after (allegedly) screaming “THE CAPITAL OF OUR NATION IS THE LAST PLANTATION!” and “FREE DC!” in the House Gallery during floor debate on DC appropriations. #DCStatehood

@DanRather (2.1M follow), retired @CBSNews anchor, October 2020 tweet pro #DCstatehood, pointing out GOP hypocrisy & #NoTaxationWithoutReps. #DCstatehoodNews
I suspect if Washington DC was a Republican stronghold Mitch McConnell would long ago have made it a state with pious history lessons about “taxation without representation. “

Republican arguments against #DC Statehoodmake no sense!
The idea that you can’t add states to the Union is pretty much undercut by a flag with more than 13 stars.
