The National Guard is still occupying DC against the will of the residents here. We were terribly disturbed and stunned to learn 3 Democratic governors sent fresh troops to DC. Michigan and Minnesota are 2 of the 3. If you live or have ties to either state we are asking you to email your governors and ask them to withdraw their troops from DC. I won't be on line for a week or so but go to freedcproject.org/guard.

The main stream Democratic party needs to wake up and smell the roses. People are tired of their complacency. NYC comes in very similar to DC. https://www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/06/23/mamdani-election-darializa-chevalier-claire-valdez-brad-lander/
Critics trying to minimize the fact that some moderates won are missing the point. Progressives don't need to win every seat, just enough to outvote the established main streamers who are afraid to fight.

Mamdani-Backed Candidates Triumph in NYC Democratic Primaries

Two mainstream Democrats fell to candidates backed by the mayor, as the marquee congressional primary in Upper Manhattan remained too close to call.

Ranked Choice results in tonight. The Democratic Socialists gob smacked the established Dem party. They got 35 of the 48 seats. That's on top of our candidate winning mayoral primary and a progressive to replace Eleanor Holmes Norton. My ward elected a woman labor leader, and Dem Socialist to represent us on the City Council. First time this generation DC voters had an option and we spoke clearly!

Our progressive candidate to replace Eleanor Holmes Norton won outright on Election night. Our progressive candidate for mayor (the Black woman Trump hates) received her opponent's concession today. Have to wait for ranked choice process to see if we were successful in turning out the old Democratic Party Committee. If we all fight...we can win. The message is, get off the couch and go join a movement (not a moment... a movement).

Even if you don't live in DC, pay attention to our primary because Trump uses DC to practice what he is going to do to oppress the states. He announced Thursday he didn't like the candidate that was in the lead for the mayor's race (a Black, progressive woman). He threatened to take over the city if we elect her. That is a threat of voter suppression in its purest form. https://wtop.com/dc/2026/06/i-wouldnt-like-it-trump-threatens-dc-takeover-if-janeese-lewis-george-wins-mayors-race/
