Help Oaklawn Renters Stand Strong Together
#WashingtonDC

We as Stomp Out Slumlords organizers have been fighting hand in hand with Oaklawn Terrace Apartments tenant leaders for a year and a half against the appalling living conditions that have persisted for several decades. We have been able to meet some of the most powerful mothers and fighters, because they have been the ones leading this cause demanding to live in dignified homes. When the landlords refused to lift a finger to improve the building, we decided to go on a rent strike, because we understand that the rich only pay attention when their pockets hurt. During the last few months we have spent all day in court, up and down the city looking for lawyers to represent us.

A hard (very hard) pill to swallow for the Democratic Party is:

1) Hillary Clinton should never have been the nominee.
2) Joe Biden should never have been the President.

The 1st political violence was not the storming of the capitol. It was during the Nevada Caucuses, when a room full of people picked Bernie Sanders, and the words "in the opinion of the chair, Hillary Clinton is the nominee" rang out over a very surprised, outraged majority, who watched as their voice and vote, was tossed aside.

This repeated throughout the election process, across the nation, and partly leadership would then argue in court, that as a private party, the primary election was just a formality and that they were free to pick whomever they wished.

Joe Biden, was in last place, before any vote had been cast. His campaign was not funded, and even I, found their office empty (though there were many YouTube videos, nationwide showing this fact). The mass media, themselves, were asking when Joe Biden would drop out, and was America truly ready for a democratic socialist (Bernie Sanders). 12 Candidates came forward, to split and divide the vote, only for them to all drop out, and endorse, last place.

The Democratic Party, made Donald John Trump, possible. You empowered that man by ignoring the will of the people. You disenfranchised millions of voters who frankly decided they had enough of, you. Then you told them to once more, once again, to pick YOUR choice, not theirs, as the lessor evil.

You are the problem that enabled Donald John Trump. Your actions encouraged people to either vote for him out of spite or just stay home, because it did not matter.

You were and are complicit in Donald Trump raise to power. And you continue to be complicit with every moment of silence and inaction to stop, Donald John Trump. And the excuse that you do not have control over Congress (The House and Senate) is just that, an excuse, to take no action. You need to try, even if you may fail, because anything less is being complicit.

Lastly, assuming there are elections, you need to step aside your ego for the will of the people, if you claim to love this country, because otherwise, you killed, the United States of America, well, before Donald Trump and his people had the authority to do so - Authority you bestowed upon him, with your shenanigans.

Are you coming to DC for World Pride? Do you dance tango? (Or want to give it a try?) We will be hosting a milonga the night before the Pride Parade.

Be Here Queer! Tango Milonga
Friday, June 6th, 2025
8 to 11:30pm

Join the DC Queer Tango Collective and the Cultural Arts Center and Visual and Performing Arts Department of Montgomery College for a night of social tango dancing, with live tango music! We'll get started with a beginners' queer tango dance class at 7pm, followed by dancing from 8 to 11:30pm. Everyone is welcome to our queer-centered space. We gather to celebrate, in joy and community, and we dance to honor those who have fought for, and continue to fight for, safe and inclusive dance spaces. DJ Alicia Michelle will spin the tango tunes, and we will be joined by tango music duo Arco & Aire, Heyni Solera on bandoneon and Max Wollam-Fisher on the cello.

Everything is free of charge and will take place at the beautiful Dance Studio (CU205) of the Montgomery College Takoma Park Campus, 7995 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland.

See you there!
