I remind you - DC has no vote in Congress. So this is just busybodying by members who represent anyone except the residents of DC.
This is why nothing short of full statehood for DC will be enough.

Hahaha! Poor Andy Harris & Dick Heller!
After decades of the GOP & SCOTUS undermining DC’s gun control laws & threatening to undo them to stop DC statehood bills, will this Admin drive much more stringent gun control in the District??

I haven't called or written to my reps because I have none. Please call twice - once for me in DC

Even as Congress idles during the shutdown, H.R. 5125 and H.R. 5179 aren't going anywhere.
regular business returns, we'll be ready—and we need the Senate to reject both.

I’d take them over the constant whine of helicopters these days!

Once again: if you don’t even know basic facts about how DC functions, even those widely reported, why do you think you should spend your time ignoring your constituents to overrule existing DC laws?
#HandsOffDC #FreeDC #TheLastColony
Democrats in Congress-you must make this a priority when you have power.
You cannot leave us as vulnerable, powerless colonists anymore.
#TheLastColony
I am so very grateful for your tireless advocacy. I started using the #TheLastColony. On my DC tweets back on The Bad Place.
It wasn’t an exaggeration.
#HandsOffDC #FreeDC
Hahaha! After they forced everyone to show a stupid number of legal documents to obtain a REAL ID, that’s not enough?
Guessing no paper is enough for the racist fascists if your skin is brown.
Welcome to #TheLastColony. This is how the 702K of us live.
Something to keep in mind as your Saturdays turn to cheering on your favorite red state occupiers of the 710,000 of us without statehood.

But interesting-take note, All!
They had a guy in an unmarked red car 1 block east of here radioing up to the checkpoint the potential traffic violations they saw and which cars to focus upon!
#FreeDC #F$ckICE #TheLastColony #DCStatehood
We all knew they were never gonna give us that $1 billion back.
Like smaller countries it’s how the Admin can bully us into giving them what they want.

Thank your Senate Democrats.
Always so short-sighted.
Always something else, anything else, they’d rather focus on than ending our taxation without representation.

Yay! All my cousins in Toronto will be thrilled - I already drive up there every year for Canadian Thanksgiving anyway.
But it can be for my own holiday now! LOL!
And if I celebrate both Canada Day and July 4th, can I just take the 2nd & 3rd off also?
#CanadianDC #TheLastColony
Please take DC as your next province-we have zero rights because not a state so just fully taxed without Congressional representation and at the mercy of every state’s elected reps.
Bonus-another hockey team for you all!
#TheLastColony
Guys-how many Democratic Senators besides @schumer.senate.gov will vote to confirm J6 lawyer & Nazi supporter Ed Martin for US AG for DC?
“Martin’s acting term as DC’s US Attorney will expire on May 20 unless he is confirmed by the Senate.”
#TheLastColony #HandsOffDC #51st #votingrights
F-ed up implies a mistake.
It was clearly intentional as they specifically and actively voted against changing/fixing the language when it was brought to their attention.
#HandsOffDC #TheLastColony #DCStatehood
So the House can’t vote on the bill to fix their fake (liars!) $1 billion removal of DC’s funds but instead took the time today to vote to remove the colonists’ law and replace it with their desired bill?
Yup. Sounds like GOP Congress.
#HandsOffDC #DCstatehood #TheLastColony
Haha yes. I’ve lived here over 2 decades. Trust me I know all the ways DC residents are f&$#ed as #TheLastColony
Pretty sure there’s not another place in the US that routinely votes over 90% Democrat election after election only to be ignored & screwed over by Congress every single time.
Giant skeleton dressed in cherry blossom attire and hot pink sunglasses
A little free library hosting standardized standardized test books and other paperbacks.
A very urban rope based kids swingset strung between 2 trees.
Signs of hope-tiny yellow crocus buds.
Scenes from the rest of Capitol Hill today.
Yep. We’re just some of the nearly 700K real people who live and work and love and go to school in DC.
We deserve the right to govern ourselves, have our elected officials create budgets & spend our $ like everyone else.
#DCStatehood #TheLastColony
“The students made signs with crayons and colored markers in an attempt to appeal to senators — none of whom represent them. One read: ‘You cut my dad’s job and now you want to cut my school,’ punctuated by four sad faces.”
KEEP CALLING & URGE A NO VOTE ON CLOTURE!
#TheLastColony #HandsOffDC
“The Revolutionary War was fought to give consent to the governed and to end taxation without representation.”
But not in the District-we switched out King George for Congress.
They’re going to force firing of teachers, firefighters, & police-for spite (no fed $ saved)
#TheLastColony
Once again-this can happen to no other state in the country.
We are but a mere colony.
