My tiny state once again showed up - stronger, louder, more people and even more determined. Went to two events today in Rehoboth Beach and another in Georgetown. Incredible crowd at both. #NoKings

Alert: Buffalo State U (part of SUNY) hasn’t had hot water for almost a week. Students have to shower in hot water stations outside. The cafeteria is closed - student meals are sandwiches and chips. Officials just say they’re working on it. Students aren’t being informed. Come on SUNY, do better!

Yet another egregious example of unchecked presidential power- this time aimed at Puerto Rico. PROMESA has kept much of PR impoverished, and the island deserves so much more than it gets. The people have no voice in the federal government. But it’s about to get a whole lot worse.

A blue state plea: Show up for EVERY election. Assume there are lots of closet Republicans despite this dumpster fire that we’re living in.
Yesterday, a Democrat in my very blue state won a special election by just 121 votes! 😳 We worked hard but let this be a warning. Nothing will be easy. VOTE

A glimmer of hope in this madness. My state just became the latest state to prohibit law enforcement from cooperating with ICE.
It’s a huge victory and I’m so proud of my state’s lawmakers for taking a stand. ✊

Anybody else get a weird email from the Social Security Administration?
“Social Security applauds passage of legislation….
Tax relief bill passed; nearly 90% of beneficiaries pay no taxes …”
It’s creepy that agencies are sending political messages. It’s like Trump signing Covid relief checks.

Everyone, especially in red states, call your senators NOW. Urge them the vote against the tax bill.
Millions depend on Medicaid, and communities need it to fund hospitals and doctors.
It WILL affect you even if you have private insurance because access will be slashed. Your local hospital? GONE!

So proud of my fellow Delawareans who continually show up, voice their opposition and speak truth to power. Very grateful for our AG Kathy Jennings who has battled this administration w other Dem AGs and won. Music, marching, and lots of inspiration. #nokings #delaware #protest

Pushing legislation in my state that would limit ICE from entering sensitive spaces (schools, churches, courts, healthcare facilities, etc). Also limits cooperation w ICE.
The community wants this but the FOP and other top officers opposed it at today’s hearing. Frustrating! They don’t get it.

Just wanted to share a bright spot! A local PD just signed a 287g agreement with ICE - the 1st one in my state. The community pushback was so fierce and IMMEDIATE that the town rescinded its agreement within the same day.

Spouse spent the weekend with MAGA relatives. It’s shocking how much crap they believe: conspiracies about vaccines, autism, immigrants, “wasteful government spending” (except what they get), confederate history, Democrats, voting … etc. Guess it will be two more years before seeing them again. 😞
