The House is set to vote on #DCstatehood today. But GOP lawmakers have introduced amendments that would make it part of Maryland and make it pay for flags with 51 stars.
DC:
▪️ is 46% Black
▪️ has more people than WY, VT
▪️ has no voting representation in Congress
In the past week, we’ve seen a mass cooptation of unrest.
This is how you kill a revolution:
1. Repress through mass arrests/curfews
2. Make resistance consumable
3. Water down the demands until they are meaningless
