So, there's a set of DC offices on the ballot that doesn't get thought about a whole lot, and it's the Democratic Committee for the District of Columbia. There's a couple of different slates out there. There's one that's clearly the folks at @freedcproject.bsky.social. There's one that's... not.

And they're named similarly. "Free DC Slate" vs "Democrats United to Free DC". The establishment party folks are trying hard to tell you they're the ones behind Free DC, but they're not. They're using that name to try to claim the organizing work that Free DC has been doing. Because it's working.

The DC Democratic Party has been lining up for itself, not for the people of the city, for a while now. They fought Ranked Choice Voting. They've fought a lot of things that have passed popular votes. And now they're trying to claim that mantle. So, think about that a bit.

I'm interested to hear this. There's one person on that slate whose neighborhood work in my ward I really admire. But that organization is weirdly absent from the world – – like no social media at all? As if they're trying to hide something.
