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…

We did it. SS 1 for SB 1, renters' right to representation, is heading to the Governor's desk! Thank you for sending messages, showing up, and supporting the fight to ensure no renter has to go it alone. To every renter, community member, and advocate — this victory is yours.

Delaware’s four largest police departments paid out more than $3.2 million in legal settlements to people who said they were harmed by officers in just the past three years.
Uses of force and police crashes drive total: The settlement total for the four departments includes a previously unreported $975,000 payment to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the family of a man who died − and who a judge said may have already been restrained − when a Delaware State Police officer tasered him for a third time in 2015. It also includes a $650,000 payment to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a man who was a teen when he was shot at four times and struck twice by a Wilmington officer while fleeing in a stolen car in 2019.

This is a legacy defining moment for Joe Biden. He is going down as one of the biggest disappointments in labor history.

I'm calling on Congress to pass legislation immediately to adopt the Tentative Agreement between railroad workers and operators. Let me be clear: a rail shutdown would devastate our economy. Without freight rail, many U.S. industries would shut down.

JUST LAUNCHED: Delaware's most secretive police force, Operation Safe Streets (OSS), is harassing our communities — with devastating results. Our new investigative story builds a case for ending the abuse of power that fuels this harmful program. 🧵

How do you measure the impact of a primary? At WFP, we know how important every shift, text, knock, and call can be. It's one more step to making the Delaware Way work — not for corporations, but for everyday people.
