Caption 1:
On Thursday, President Trump threatened to remove DC’s mayor and hand control to Congress if he doesn’t like the results of our upcoming election. This is what happens when 700,000 Americans have no Senators, no vote in Congress, and no permanent protection for their right to self-govern.
The only lasting fix is statehood. Stand with DC. #DCStatehood
Caption 2:
This is what taxation without representation looks like in 2026. DC residents pay federal taxes, serve in the military, and follow federal law, but Congress can override our votes whenever it wants. Trump just proved why that has to end.
Statehood is the only permanent solution. #DCStatehood
Caption 3:
Trump just threatened to remove DC’s mayor and hand control to Congress because he might not like how we vote. This is why DC needs statehood, so no President or Congress can ever do this again. #DCStatehood
