Over the past 10+ years, the "DD" in the name of my blog has stood for "Developmental Disability." Starting today, it also stands for "Defending Democracy," since nothing could be more important in our city-which-one-day-will become a state. I will still be focusing primarily on issues important for the disability community, but, as reflected already in my profile, " I strongly support statehood for DC, where I have lived since 1978, since without it no DC resident, disabled or non-disabled, will ever be fully empowered." It's obvious we have a real fight ahead of us, so let's get busy!
I couldn’t agree more. Except for 3 years, I’ve been here since 11/70, and I really believe that DC desperately needs to transition from Home Rule to become a State. And, wouldn’t you know that the current president is threatening Home Rule? 🤯 That would be a horrible step backward.
