Which State is coming to our rescue, oh that’s right, none of them…
#DCStatehoodNow
They trash our budget. They fail to maintain our area parks. And they stick their ill-informed noses where they don’t belong. As a DC resident, I am so sick of federal overreach in our local affairs. This is so stupid. Imagine if feds had to approve school designs in the Midwest? #DCStatehoodNow
1. You have to have elected officials to do this. We in DC do not. #DCStatehoodNow
2. Congress would have to give enough of a shit to show up and demand something immediately but their sadism and learned helplessness prevents any of them from doing anything.
The federal government should not be stealing our DC tax dollars. Just days after celebrating George Washington’s birthday, it’s worth noting we fought a Revolution over this. #DCStatehoodNow
Double-quick! #DCStatehoodNow #FreeDC #DemocracyRocks #DemocracyRules #DemocracyWins #Vote #VoteBlueEveryElection #DCNative 😎
If your state, or a state with which you have more than a passing familiarity, were a day of the week, which day of the week would your state be?
In this thought experiment, D.C. is a state. #DCStatehoodNow
CA is Wednesday b/c it’s essential; i.e., as goes Wednesday so goes the week.
Imagine naming the airport sited in the nation’s capitol after a racist POTUS who defunded & attacked every program or policy that built America’s middle class.
#DCStatehoodNow
Call you senators and representatives and tell them: VOTE NO on H.J.Res 142 or S.J.Res 102, the disapproval resolution to overturn recent updates to DC’s tax code. #freeDC #DCStatehoodNow
The citizens of DC DO NOT WANT THIS. Our city is not his private playground for his military parades and self promotions and destruction of our architecture and monuments. This is why DC needs statehood and self determination. Call your Congress people. #DCStatehoodNow!
The way this man treats a city of more than 700K as his personal kingdom should be an outrage to all Americans, but they mostly DGAF. No one in DC wants this. #FreeDC #DCStatehoodNOW
I haven't called or written to my reps because I have none. Please call twice - once for me in DC

#DCStatehoodNow - for many reasons including this. Unfortunately I expect the SCOTUS fascist 6 will rule #DonPedo is within his rights. Never mind his fail on 1/6.
VINDMAN!!! Everyone call him and tell him Virginia supports a #FreeDC and #DCStatehoodNow!!!

Map of the Douglass Commonwealth
Republicans are absolutely terrified that the District of Columbia become a state as the Douglass Commonwealth, and its citizens, more populous than WY or VT, have equal representation in Congress.
They will do anything to prevent Black people from having the same rights as whites.

It’s WASHINGTON, DC. Thank you, Susan. #WashingtonDC_51STstate #DCStatehoodNOW #16April1862_WashingtonDC #WashDC #NoKingsNoMoreSlavery
Now you know what the 700,000 DC residents feel like. #DCStatehoodNow
GOP Senate Majority Leader:
♦️If the Democrats ever win, 4 million American citizens who are currently denied Congressional representation will be given the rights everyone else enjoys.
Democratic leadership:
♦️Um, well, about that-- hey, look over there!

#PRStatehood
There's a major major problem with non-DC residents making decisions for DC residents that are against their interests and wishes. #DCStatehoodNOW
And DC has been under occupation of NG from half a dozen states since August. We don’t have the same 10th amendment rights that states have over their sovereignty #DCStatehoodNow #FreeDC
DC doesn’t have the power to do anything.
Which is why we need #DCstatehoodNOW.
