now THIS is a budget i can get behind! proud to be a @fairbudgetdc.bsky.social member as we launch our platform for a budget that takes care of our own. #WeGotUsDC Read more: bit.ly/WeGotUsDC

THANK YOU @chmnmendelson.bsky.social for your clarity on the review period for the disapproval resolution! Today's Senate vote is taking place too late to prevent our local tax law from taking effect!

An interesting fact: D.C. has already received 18,000 individual tax returns and 300 corporate returns. The Republican resolution repealing the city's tax law passed the House today, and if it passes the Senate and is signed by the president, many of those returns will have to be redone.

The phrase "professional activist" is functionally meaningless. It's a term that politicians and corporate targets have used for generations to discredit anyone who's effectively challenged them. Anyone who deploys it in earnest to discredit deeply committed people is broadcasting their ignorance.

a beautiful (freezing) weekend to collect signatures to get @aparnafordc.bsky.social on the ballot this June! Ward 1 voters… find us at a campaign event soon to sign!! www.mobilize.us/aparnafordc/

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

happy january! it’s the year we’re electing @aparnafordc.bsky.social to DC Council… and we’re starting with 30+ folks knocking doors (even in the pouring rain)!

A better world is not just possible, it’s within reach. If we’re willing to organize and fight for it.

3 days, 318 doors, and 58,657 steps later… VA GOTV with @ccanactionfund.bsky.social is done!!!

party like Kesha on Halloween, speak on a panel about making polluters pay, knock doors in VA… proving you CAN do it all for GOTV/Halloweekend!!

Missed our canvass yesterday? Don’t worry, there are tons of opportunities to get involved! 💜💪🔥 Come join us at some point over the next month to meet Aparna, learn more about the campaign, and talk to your neighbors! Find an event here: mobilize.us/aparnaforDC

Thank you to everyone who came out for our FIRST CANVASS EVER! 🚪 Such a beautiful, spooky fall day to talk to voters about how our campaign will fight to lower the cost of living and defend DC, and to hear from people about what they want to see in Ward 1. ✊🏾🍂💀

knocked doors for @guzman4virginia.bsky.social with @ccanactionfund.bsky.social this weekend! VA friends… it’s time to vote and turn Virginia blue! 🌎💙

public school LOVE 🍎📚 for students, parents, AND teachers everyday 👩‍🏫

a HUGE thank you to every single person who made this happen: all 1,149 donors, every volunteer hosting house parties and making this campaign run, and most of all Aparna, who works harder than anyone i’ve ever met and inspires all of us to get. it. done. 💜🧡🩷

worker power always 🗣️

Nadeau blaming the Uncommitted campaign for Trump is such tired bullshit. Uncommitted voters, of which I am one, were largely loyal Democrats who wanted to influence their party and were all but expelled for their tenacity.

platform drop TL;DR… solidarity forever 🌹

We have severely lost the plot! This coordination and cooperation with Trump to target DC residents is dangerous, unacceptable and violates our Sanctuary Values Act! I’m disgusted that we would abandon our values and our people in this way. Stand for something! Defend our values!

If you don’t know Aparna, I can’t blame you if you’re shocked at these record breaking day one numbers. But I’ve organized with Aparna for years, so I know she delivers — every time. Can’t wait for her to do the same as my Councilmember!!

Aparna is both a tenant and labor organizer - need more of those people on city councils. check out the launch video

There’s no one I trust more to stand up for DC than Aparna. Join me in being a day one donor and a part of the movement to build a DC for all! secure.actblue.com/donate/aparn...

We're putting in the ground WORK! 🌱 🌼 We'll be hearing from some great DSA organizers about crucial issues at the heart of our socialist organizing. Join us!

As DC residents' cost of power continues to soar, Pepco's revenue has increased by almost $28 million compared to last year. This is over a 30% increase in residential revenue in just Q1 of 2025. Pepco is squeezing DC residents for all they have. www.wepowerdc.org/latest-news/...

"Their goal is to demoralize you. Their goal is to scare you out of action. Their goal is to bully you out of standing up for what is right for the working class of the world. But we are not defeated." National Co-Chair @ahsheek.bsky.social at yesterday's March for Palestine in DC.

joining dsa was one of the best decisions of my life. make it one of yours too! dsausa.org/join

STATE POWER STRIKE POWER STREET POWER

the climate clock is ticking, and we have a responsibility to win right now, not on a theoretical horizon. @groundworkdsa.com has the vision for how DSA can lead the left to victory — #strikepower #statepower #streetpower

This is better than the Abundance Agenda imo ecosocialists.dsausa.org

Hundreds of DC residents, from school children to grandmothers, flooded the halls of the Capitol every day this week demanding DC's autonomy be respected. Thousands more wrote and called House and Senate offices insisting that DC's local dollars be spent by DC's local government.

Today the Senate passed a continuing resolution that cuts DC’s budget by over $1 billion of our own tax dollars. Then they passed a bill to restore our budget, which now goes back to the House. But DC isn't a line item, and Congress shouldn't be playing politics with our city.

The Republican budget plan: -Cut SNAP by $230 billion -Cut Medicaid by $880 billion -Give $1.1 trillion to the top 1%
