Undemocratic, paternalistic...' #CongresswomanEleanorHolmesNorton

The ridiculous disarray of the #HouseSpeaker selection and fascist GOP intransigence demonstrates the need for #DCStatehoodNow.
DC does not have control over its own laws and budget the same way a state does, so these need to be sent to the #USHouse after they're voted on. The GOP is essentially preventing DC from moving forward on anything right now.
DC should have autonomy and voting representation in the House and Senate.

Because DC is not a state, bills passed by the DC Council & approved by the Mayor are then sent to Congress for Congressional review before they can become law. No members of Congress can be sworn in until a speaker is selected, no DC Council bills can become law. #DCStatehoodNow https://twitter.com/wusa9/status/1610945955439722496

I hope #mastodon can become a place for #DCstatehood advocates can collaborate without the needless bickering of the trolls on the #birdsite. It’s long past time for Douglass Commonwealth #DCStatehoodNow

@tbridge researching how to support this is next on my agenda! #DCStatehoodNow
@tristansnell and because we need #DCStatehoodNow. Think of it —two more reliably D Senators forever. Not to mention simple justice for the 700,000+ people of DC, who currently pay really high taxes for no voting representation in Congress. #TaxationWithoutRepresentation #Warnock matters

If Democrats really want to do a baller move and do something that should have been done long ago, they should approve Douglass Commonwealth Statehood while they still have a trifecta, and end this taxation without representation. #DCStatehoodNow #Politics
Washington DC deserves Statehood. It is annoying that more people aren't talking about this. #DCStatehoodNow #DcStatehood
If Democrats do end up miraculously holding onto Congress, then I they should admit the Douglass Commonwealth to Statehood immediately. It is long past time to end this taxation without representation. DC is more populous than WY and VT. #DCStatehoodNow #politics #election

@TonyStark My D Representative had a virtual town hall yesterday and mentioned this issue. He supports it, which I was happy to hear.
@TonyStark This issue gets more and more support and DC residents deserve it. #CallToAction #dcstatehoodnow
