#Liberty and #Independence indeed. Inspiring statue infront of Legislative Hall.
Officially a sit-in, so not many people visible from here.
Beautiful Saturday to gather with fellow peaceful pissed-off folks. Good speakers. A good new Hands Off song!

MAID data shows no ‘slippery slope’
“As we approach a decade since #MedicalAidInDying legislation was first introduced in #Delaware, residents and lawmakers alike should be well versed on how this established #EndOfLife health care option works in the United States.
Sadly, we are still hearing arguments based on fear (at best) and lies (at worst), perpetuated in legislative hearings.”

[Thread] Oh boy...! I made the *mistake* of looking at the US #ProtestLaw Tracker I had posted on Mastodon a while back. YIKES! Not just state laws, but some pretty nasty federal ones. And interestingly enough, #Maine, #Vermont, #Delaware and #NewMexico are the only states who haven't considered passing laws restricting protest. Many states ended up not passing those laws, but some did... Read on...

"Delaware just passed a law this week that would shield tech billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk from an array of potential misconduct, which could impact active litigation against them alleging theft from shareholders. The bill was crafted by Democratic governor Matt Meyer’s office in direct consultation from Meta’s own legal team and a roster of corporate defense lawyers representing both billionaires, according to documents released last week by CNBC.
Those outside lawyers consulted by the governor include an attorney at a firm that recently represented Meta in a Delaware court and Leon Strine, a former Delaware Supreme Court justice who now works at a major defense side law firm, Wachtell Lipton. The firm is currently defending Mark Zuckerberg against an ongoing shareholder lawsuit over an improper settlement Meta struck in 2019 regarding the Cambridge Analytica data breach.
Separate from that court case, Meta is currently being investigated for potential wrongdoing by shareholders who recently filed multiple “books and records” requests to obtain company documents. Changes in the new law would shut off legal avenues for any evidence in those documents to lead to lawsuits that could be worth billions of dollars in violations.
The bill makes it easier for companies to deny disclosure requests and hand over fewer internal documents. Additionally, the criteria for an improper transaction that may be reviewed by a Delaware court will be much more lenient to corporate executives. As long as a majority of so-called independent directors approve a deal, without shareholder input, executives won’t be subject to liability for potential conflicts of interest."

#ElonMusk’s lawyers are pushing #Delaware Senate Bill 21—the Billionaires' Bill—a dangerous proposal that would strip away critical protections for #pension funds and everyday investors. If passed, this bill would shield corporate executives from accountability, putting your #401k, pension, and other investments at risk while prioritizing billionaire profits over public interests.
