On this last day of Fair Housing month while we preserve over COVID-19, let’s remember the words of Rep. Shirley Chisholm from 1973 (1 of 3).

[Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser]

We have to be clear about our story, who we are, and what we want for our city.

[Eleanor #DCStatehood Holmes Norton @EleanorNorton]

President Trump made a grave error on several levels by taking over MPD and deploying the DC National Guard without DC's agreement.

He violated the principle of consent of the governed, on which America was founded, and he unintentionally made the strongest possible case for #DCStatehood.

Being hypervigilant doesn’t mean you’re “too dramatic” or “attention seeking.”

LITERALLY, your amygdala is big + pulsating, your stress hormones are dousing your entire being.

It’s not so easy to “just turn it off”

Healing CAN change the amygdala’s response-stay gentle.
