I ran for Senate because Delaware needs #MedicareForAll #HousingForAll #GreenNewDeal | Now I'm focused on making our state put people over profits | She/her

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.

[Madinah Wilson-Anton @MadinahForDE]

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.

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.

These data are on page 53 of Vanguard’s report. They refer to defined contribution retirement plans such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s. https://t.co/1Nr5mrpeZK

[Jess Scarane @JessforDelaware]

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.

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

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.

“Joe Biden said he would ‘restore the soul of this nation’. Well, where the heck is that, Biden? Where’s that moral leadership?”

@MadinahForDE among group of state reps and activists at White House launching a hunger strike for Biden to demand a ceasefire #FreePalestine

[Jess Scarane @JessforDelaware]

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.

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

During this holiday week, I'm so thankful to hear of the release of the first group of hostages held by Hamas.

[Jess Scarane @JessforDelaware]

@MadinahForDE @willmenaker @ByYourLogic "quirks" is the undersell of the year. loved this obviously.

[Delaware Working Families Party @DelawareWFP]

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. https://t.co/RtqxOuAnw5

[Jess Scarane @JessforDelaware]

@MadinahForDE lmao

[Jess Scarane @JessforDelaware]

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.

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

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:

@CPthreeio 💜

[Jess Scarane @JessforDelaware]

An absolute baby. https://t.co/TlwlCTlScu

[Aaron Maté @aaronjmate]

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.

[Jess Scarane @JessforDelaware]

Free, free Palestine 🇵🇸

[Jess Scarane @JessforDelaware]

@realschopenhaur Same answer applies. I encourage you to ask this of someone who holds a legislative or executive seat.

[Jess Scarane @JessforDelaware]

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.

[Carlos Ballesteros @ballesteros_312]

I asked Illinois Sen. @TammyDuckworth at a news conference today in Pilsen if she’s willing to call for a ceasefire.

“I 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,” she said.

[Jess Scarane @JessforDelaware]

@Fieldkorn @VanHoAdam All of those things are much cheaper than housing. I sure hope that if you’re ever in a difficult position, people show you a lot more humanity and solidarity than you seem to possess yourself.

[Jess Scarane @JessforDelaware]

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

@5h09un @NathanJRobinson I know it’s hard for people like you to get your heads around this, but it’s not about the money it’s about trying to be an actual country rather than just a funder of endless war and subjugation.

Fuck out of here with wanting to do both.
