Business that attack DC Home Rule — or the power of the officials we democratically elect — are not welcome in DC. We will stop purchasing your products and services and will do everything in our power to make sure others do the same.

D.C. officials thought they could work with Comer. A new bill blindsided them.
D.C. lawmakers say they were surprised when the House Oversight chair proposed a bill that would require congressional approval for any D.C. tax initiative.

Hi Victory Fund! One of your board members, John Horton of DoorDash, is undermining your pro choice message by sponsoring bills that violate DC Home Rule. As a resident of DC, I urge you to rebuke his actions in support of thousands of Americans who are already disenfranchised.

I made a new t-shirt that I think has an important message about the future and also about friendship and i think maybe you will like it roryblank.bigcartel.com
A shirt depicting a cute beaver wearing a hardhat and a work vest and holding a hammer, standing in front of a series of pictures of other beavers in work gear variously sawing wood, hammering nails, and carrying planks of wood. 

On the pictures it says "working together we can build anything we like."

In big text it says "stop building hell" at the top
and at the bottom it says "we are trapped in the prison of nostalgia, a world built by ghosts, not a world for the living. Nothing new can be built until we escape. Nothing can be fixed if you aren't willing to let things go."
