As a reminder, the unelected CLC sets the corporate law for Delaware that governs the majority of corporations in the country. And they are again trying to do it without time for the legislature to adequately assess and deliberate changes.
I am incredibly perturbed by the fact that we were promised adequate time to deliberate on substantive bills coming from the CLC earlier in session & yet here we are again. SB313 will likely be fast tracked through the Senate when we get back on June 12. 🧵 1/

The Congresswoman supports continuing to fund Israeli bombing of civilians and journalists. But congrats to the comms team for picking a nice quote.
"It seems that fighting is a game where everybody is the loser" - Zora Neale Hurston On Zora Neale Hurston's birthday, I am reminded of this powerful message about unity and peace. Her impact and legacy continue to inspire us today.

Retirees with the median balance and, let’s say, $1,500 a month in social security who live another 20 years would have to live on about $21,000 a year. It’s absolutely shameful to be this wealthy of a country and leave anyone, especially the elderly, to destitution.
For those between 55 and 64, the average and median balances are $207,874 and $71,168, per Vanguard.

We’re so lucky to have Madinah.
ā€œJoe Biden said he would ā€˜restore the soul of this nation’. Well, where the heck is that, Biden? Where’s that moral leadership?ā€ @MadinahForDE among group of state reps and activists at White House launching a hunger strike for Biden to demand a ceasefire #FreePalestine

By simply not acknowledging it was a swap, the senator can pretend Israel wasn’t holding Palestinian children as hostages and turn an aggressor into a victim. Intentional and ghoulish messaging.
During this holiday week, I'm so thankful to hear of the release of the first group of hostages held by Hamas.

Over 3/4 of Democrats support a ceasefire in Gaza. We had over 1000 people march in Wilmington on Saturday. It’s time for our elected officials to get on board. delawareonline.com/story/new…

This is such a perfect distillation of who Chris Coons is. Condescending, dismissive, more worried about rules than justice, and unwilling to engage with people he sees as beneath him.
Sen. @ChrisCoons sat across from me on the train. With Israel using US weapons to kill thousands of Palestinian civilians, including 4600 children, I asked him why he refuses to call for a ceasefire:

Update: I was removed from the train, apparently at Sen. Coons’ request. I’ll catch the next one. The people of Gaza have no escape from the mass murder campaign that the Senator is supporting.

Preventing bombs from being dropped on people in Gaza would not help them? Be serious. Every single senator proving there’s nothing but cowards among them.
I asked Illinois Sen. @TammyDuckworth at a news conference today in Pilsen if she’s willing to call for a ceasefire. ā€œI am not willing to call for a ceasefire at this point because that would not help the residents of Gaza nor would it help the security of Israel,ā€ she said.

I don’t think it’s ever been clearer just how much work we have to do to rebuild an actual society.

Posting about US support 3 hours after news broke of Israel bombing a hospital. Sickening.
Jack Lew is a highly qualified, experienced nominee for U.S. Ambassador to Israel. I was glad to meet with him to discuss U.S. support for Israel and express my support for his swift confirmation. We need the Senate to take up his nomination as soon as possible.

Just to be clear, you stand with this?
Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant: "I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we will act accordingly."

Sorry guys I fat fingered in my rage. Classic me. It’s HB 189 and you can see it here: legis.delaware.gov/BillDetai…

There’s a bill in the House (HB 159) that would stop this and ban corporations and other entities from voting in municipal elections. It hasn’t been heard in committee yet, while this Republican-led bill has repeatedly made it on to the House agenda.
