Do you have a plan to vote?
Let us tell you the information you need to register and cast a ballot in D.C.
When federal agents swept through the home of Ward 5 D.C. Councilmember Harry Thomas Jr. this morning, people around the District turned (where else?) to social media to react. There was plenty of snark, glee, and anger vented Thomas’ way.
But not every comment made online about Thomas was negative, even after the IRS and FBI seized an SUV and motorcycle that Thomas had, apparently, spent a combined total of $63,089 on. Here’s a look at some Twitter and Facebook posts defending the councilmember—and also the last few tweets Thomas sent out from his account today before the raid.

The forces that target Afro-American politicians is at it again as usual. We will not be mislead by false and misleading forces.

Harry is my friend and I fully believe that he will be exonerated. I call on all of my people that love our brother to pray for him and his family in this time of need. We love you Harry. Stay strong and just call on the name of Jesus. He will protect you.
