Over 50 Democrats in Congress voted to limit DC’s local democracy. The immigrant community continues to be integral parts of DC culture and non the non citizen community deserves to keep their voting rights. We need statehood to stop all federal oppression into our way of life.

Yesterday’s Federal Workers Town Hall was a reminder: DC runs because you do. From pay equity to workplace protections, I hear you, I see you, and I’ve got your back. Let’s keep pushing forward. #FederalWorkers #RepOye #DCStrong #PolicyInAction

DC’s voice is under attack again. Our Congress voted to overturn our local laws on police reform and noncitizen voting. This isn’t just policy interference, it’s a direct assault on our democracy and our immigrant neighbors. The people of D.C. deserve to govern ourselves, hold

🗣️ The Supreme Court’s ruling endangers trans youth, undermines parental rights, and puts politics where medical decisions should be. Families—not politicians—should decide what’s best for their children.

Came back for a rematch with Nathan, the teenage chess prodigy who beat me last year. Played him twice this time… and took two more Ls 😅. Still had a blast! Big thanks to Vaughn Bennett and DC Chess for keeping the game strong in our community. ♟️ #CheckmateAgain
