It’s poetic that our primaries are at the same time as pride because pride was a resistance, rooted in joy, and love and happiness and inclusivity. And that’s what this campaign has been about. I’m so grateful to be supported by the Capital Stonewall Democrats @stonewalldems51.bsky.social.

Thanks to @stonewalldems51.bsky.social for tonight’s Rank My Drag event. PussyNoir was my number one pick and Judy from HR was my second. I’m so glad my second choice won! Don’t forget to vote in DC’s Primary Election, where we have Ranked Choice Voting, by June 16.
Rank My Drag contestants - Charlemagne Chateau, Jess D’Tip, Judy from HR, PussyNoir, and Citrine. Just from HR wins on the third round. Judy from HR encouraging everyone to vote.

MLK Day isn’t about comfort. It’s about action. Trans and nonbinary people, especially young people, are being targeted and erased by design. Hate is being normalized. Silence is being encouraged. This is how fascism takes root. Show up. Fight back. Defend our community. No silence. Just action!

Today, I joined my colleagues in introducing a DC statehood bill. DC residents serve in our military, contribute to our economy, and pay more in federal taxes per capita than any other state, but without any voting federal representation. Let’s make DC the 51st state.
