The Trump administration is engaging in a bait and switch with Democratic governors, requesting troops to support the 250th then arming them with minimal pistol training and sending them out to patrol neighborhoods all over DC. At what point will these governors learn not to feed the fascism?

For the @dcdemocrats.bsky.social elections, the insurgent @freedcslate.bsky.social will be taking over the state committee when they're seated next month with about 3/4 of the seats. Current chair Charles Wilson and vice chair Linda Gray look to be staying on the committee. #dcpolitics #dcdems

I voted for the Free DC Slate b/c it includes people whose work I appreciate—but also because the establishment Democratic slate's attempt at appropriating "Free DC" is scummy and deserving of rebuke, like their attempt to halt RCV.

Kelsye Adams, Free DC Slate candidate for National Committeewoman has been endorsed by Chris Bolling, Executive Director, Democratic Party of Virginia.

Undeterred by Trump's tantrums, we continue our rise with & for the people of DC. When elected, we will respect DC's votes & act to grow DC's autonomy. Demilitarize DC. Protect & nourish our communities. Organize for Statehood now. Vote for the whole Free DC Slate by 8pm tomorrow, June 16th.

See this piece in the @washingtoninformer.com for the uplifting, pro-social, and democratically dignifying contrast in the approach of the @freedcslate.bsky.social compared to our status quo competition. www.washingtoninformer.com/the-d-c-demo...

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.

Early in-person voting is open!Keep on voting all the way down ballot! We’re running to build a New Democratic Party that takes Bold Collective Action, not just self-preservation, egos, and titles. Find and vote for all 20 of us on your ballot with just the words “Free DC Slate” under our names.

Reminder that the @dcdemocrats.bsky.social never voted to approve funding this expenditure. We also never had a vote on initiative 83. So much $$ wasted on this rather than doing the actual work of getting democrats who support #dcstatehood across the nation! Vote for @freedcslate.bsky.social

It's time for a DC Democratic Party that uplifts the people's vote rather than work to suppress it. Let's go @freedcslate.bsky.social! Check out freedcslate.com for more info. Vote by June 16th!

Out with the old, in with the @freedcslate.bsky.social
