The repeated audacity to ask @MayorBowser, a black woman, if the founders envisioned #DCStatehood when they couldn't envision her a full person, a full citizen, or her sitting before congress testifying in this chamber as an argument to deny democracy is callous & unconscionable.

[Mónica Palacio @monica4dc]

We all have a role to play in addressing how profoundly hate contaminates our lives and our world. @chenderson you can count on me to help.

[Christina Henderson @chenderson]

Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church is one of the oldest churches organized by African-Americans in the US. Watching this footage makes me sick to stomach. How much longer will this hatred go on without consequences?

[Mónica Palacio @monica4dc]

Male domination. Period.

[Sigmundine @Sigmundine2]

I know that the Epstein op-ed regarding Dr. Jill Biden's degree has been a big topic. I found this on FB from a woman who took a class with him. Quite telling.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Her name is Dr. Jill Biden. Get used to it.

[Mónica Palacio @monica4dc]

Unknown heroes. The women and men who keep this city running. RIP Elsi.

[Samantha Schmidt @schmidtsam7]

Elsi Mabelicia Campos made sure the Pew building in downtown D.C. was always spotless, staying in the building until 1 a.m. to check for the tiniest of smudges with a flashlight.

She was laid off in April, and died of covid-19 complications on Nov. 30.

Time to face the facts. Trump is out and Biden-Harris are in!

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

Trump preparing to move out of WH, to Mar-a-Lago.
Jarvanka bought in Miami.
Trump preparing flurry of pardons.
Trump making bunch of last minute appointments to Presidential Boards.
Trump’s lost +50 legal challenges.
He knows he lost.
GOP knows he lost.
It’s all a charade & scam.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: Long-term care residents and at-risk health care workers should be the first people in the U.S. to get coronavirus vaccines, a panel of experts advising the CDC said. https://t.co/Xn59qjzyBK

Giving credit where credit is due!

[Dana Nessel @dananessel]

In future years, historical novels will be penned about how, in the year 2020, America withstood unapparelled attacks on our institutions, but democracy prevailed. One of the chapters will be titled @JocelynBenson.

Rest in Power. He was my NYC Mayor back in the day.

Rest In Power to New York City’s first Black Mayor, #DavidDinkins

This transition back to a system of justice under law is going to be good.

[Alejandro Mayorkas @AliMayorkas]

When I was very young, the United States provided my family and me a place of refuge. Now, I have been nominated to be the DHS Secretary and oversee the protection of all Americans and those who flee persecution in search of a better life for themselves and their loved ones.

Georgia is blue!

[7News DC @7NewsDC]

After a hand recount, President-Elect @JoeBiden has officially won the state of Georgia, turning the former GOP stronghold blue.

Today we remember the lives lost because of homophobia and gender-related violence. Tomorrow and after tomorrow we continue to fight alongside @CasaRubyDC and many more!

[Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Affairs #DistrictofPride @DCLGBTQ]

Every year we set aside November 20 as a Transgender Day of Remembrance.
This is for the generations, transgender people that have suffered various forms of abuse (and death) for challenging the views, notions, and stereotypes around “male” and “female” identity.

[Mónica Palacio @monica4dc]

I am grateful to my team for running a campaign with integrity and fueled by solidarity. Labels are just sloppy shortcuts- I am progressive and even radical in my views as a human rights advocate. Thank you @amanduhgomez for taking on the need for Latinx voices on the Council.

[Amanda Michelle Gomez @amanduhgomez]

I spoke to a lot of people —not all quoted—about why D.C. hasn't seen a Latinx on the Council. Many are optimistic for 2022, either eyeing Ward 1 or hoping @monica4dc runs again.

[Mónica Palacio @monica4dc]

Yes and yes.

[Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo @NYGovCuomo]

COVID fatigue is one thing. COVID denial is another.

Remember: You don’t just put yourself at risk when you host large indoor gatherings and flout the law.

You put other people at risk.

Your family. Your friends.

Knock it off.

[Mónica Palacio @monica4dc]

I would categorize the tearing down of these important messages as a hate crime. Saving and sharing.

[Mónica Palacio @monica4dc]

A little humor for your Saturday.

[❤️ @umairh]

Congrats to Joe Biden for winning the Presidency for the fourth time this week

[Amanda Michelle Gomez @amanduhgomez]

D.C. is in the red zone. Our daily case rate is at stay-at-home/Phase 1 levels. I wanna say this is the first time since DC Health has reported the data like this.

[Mónica Palacio @monica4dc]

Support Black-owned restaurants this week and beyond.

[Mayor's Office on African American Affairs @MOAAA_DC]

DMV Black Restaurant Week (@DMVbrw) increases awareness of Black-owned restaurants and food service providers across the District. @MayorBowser proclaimed Nov. 8 - 15 as "DMV Black Restaurant Week" in the District!
