Way closer and unsettling. I hope the Delaware Dems realize they have lots of work to do in the southern part of the state. This is especially true considering there’s a massive wave of new construction.
The Dems need to mobilize everywhere not just Wilmington and Dover.

Penske = ICE Trucking Inc.
Avelo = Deportation Airlines

Good to know who are the enablers. Our tax dollars being used for criminal activities and trampling on civil rights.

My DNU (do not use) list keeps growing.

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

Delaware governor signs bill blocking local police from enforcing federal immigration law Delaware Gov. Matt Meyer signed House Bill 182 into law on Monday, prohibiting local law enforcement agencies from entering into agreements with federal immigration authorities to enforce immigration ...

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. ✊

I got this message in my email. Didn’t click on it. But wow! They’re only supposed to email you on official business. This is downright nefarious, creepy and wrong.
How many people will actually be influenced by this?
Disgusting propaganda. It’s only the beginning folks

Anybody else get a weird email from the Social Security Administration?
β€œSocial 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.

No words today. Just devastated.
FU to every Republican who allowed this to happen. FU to the billionaires. FU to the Supreme Court. FU to everyone who elected a criminal.
FU to the swing states - y’all FA now you’ll FO.

Too bad the rest of us WILL suffer and die.

My tiny blue state sends more money to the federal government per capita than any other state. We help subsidize people in red states who actively vote for the most heinous policies.
It’s insane. And we’re tired of it!

It’s their warning. Self deport or face a concentration camp and/or die in ICE custody. They don’t care. In fact, they’re celebrating their atrocities. I’m crushed over the fact that people can treat human beings this way.
HOW CAN WE STOP THIS?????

Definitely but right now, they have to hear from everyone. We must stop this bill! It’s devastating

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!

Thank you senator! I’m one of your constituents, and I applaud your efforts to highlight and vote against this disgraceful bill.

Detaining Dem leaders, unconstitutional ICE detentions, condoning violence, blue state targeting …
The red line is here. Dems across the country:
*Walk out, stall Rep. legislation
*Refuse to cooperate
*Investigate ICE
*Create a 24/7 media team
*Flood the zone w clear messaging
*Rise Up

Not to mention that Iran has already qualified for the World Cup, which makes for a very interesting political situation.
Don’t forget corporations from the US (like Coke, Visa, McDonald’s), are literally paying $75M to $100M to sponsor this event.
It’s a true clash of big money and bad politics.

Wanted to highlight 4 other protests in Delaware, including a massive one in Newark, which drew 3,000 people. Add 1,000 from Dover, and two other protests in our tiny state!
S/O to our Dem leaders: AG Jennings, Gov. Meyer, US Sen. Rochester, De Rep Bush, De Rep Paradee among those standing up.

Couldn’t get a good crowd shot but I’d estimate at least 1,000 in Dover, De. Our state had two other rallies in the Wilmington area and at the beaches. Our march wrapped around the historic city center for several city blocks.
