Washington did not drift into disenfranchisement. It was disenfranchised, deliberately, at the moment its Black residents were gaining power. Read more: www.theroot.com/as-america-t...

Our city is under occupation, and your city could be next. DC is a testing ground for abuses of power. Everyone has a stake and a role in defending the promise of democracy. image via @dcvote.bsky.social

"After 250 years, democracy should leave no American behind." DC residents pay federal taxes, serve on juries, own businesses and fight in America’s wars. Yet residents have no voting representation in either chamber of Congress. spokesman-recorder.com/2026/06/19/d...

The fact of the matter is, sending troops onto American streets puts all our basic rights at risk. Last week's victory is a reminder that we’re still a democracy, not an Empire. Our constitutional rights are stronger when we defend them.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for speaking up for #DCstatehood! DC residents have the right to elect our government representatives without threats of a federal takeover. www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

DC Vote @dcvote.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
DC has no vote in Congress and no U.S. Senators, and now the President is threatening DC’s local election results. This isn’t hypothetical, it’s happening right now. DC needs statehood to be free from threats and interference once and for all. Repost to help spread the word. #DCStatehood #LetDCVote

Threatening to take away our rights because you don’t like who we vote for is authoritarian and anti-American. The right to vote for representation is fundamental to democracy.

this is of course a threat that comes with the national guard coming up on a year of occupying the city. the time's long past for statehood.

I REALLY hate the idea of opposing a D.C. mayoral candidate because Trump threatened to punish us if we elect her. It’s worse than obeying in advance; it’s doing the fascists’ work for them. It’s letting Trump trick you into sacrificing D.C.’s autonomy. You can’t defend home rule by surrendering it.

Obviously there won't be 60 votes to repeal Home Rule, but I don't think people are thinking creatively enough about the myriad ways the Administration could mess with the District in confrontations.
$1 billion of our own money was just withheld from us for many months!

When you show up for DC, you are showing up for the democracy you want to live in too.

It's past time for DC to have full democratic rights and the ability to govern ourselves.

DC 👏 Statehood 👏 Now! Washington, DC is the only democratic national capital in the world whose residents do not have equal voting and representation rights. We’re uniting to change that.

Last night, DC residents showed up and showed out in SE to celebrate our commitment to winning statehood and the launch of our campaign to rally out-of-state allies to join us in the fight. #Together4DC @dcvote.bsky.social @fairbudgetdc.bsky.social @dcfpi.bsky.social
