STATEHOOD FOR DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

We have seen the invasion of Washington, DC by Trump and Barr sending police, national guard, and unmarked armed people of unknown or unclear origin (vigilantes? off duty prison guards?) into the city and sending police to attack peaceful protesters in Lafayette Park to clear the way for Trump to walk across the park to the church on the other side of the park to make an uninvited photo-op in front of the church.
We have also seen the opposition by the mayor of Washington to Trump's invasion.
This reinforces the need to make the District of Columbia a state so that the people of that city can enjoy the same right of representation in Congress that the rest of us US citizens enjoy.
