[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...

📣 By request, I've created a HIGH-DEF PDF version of my healthcare enrollment pie chart for #DELAWARE!

ACA Signups · House District Enrollment: Delaware (now w/high-res PDF!)Over the past couple of months I've compiled a master spreadsheet breaking out enrollment in ACA plans (Qualified Health Plans & Basic Health Plans), Medicaid/CHIP coverage (both traditional & via ACA expansion) and Medicare (both Fee-for-Services & Advantage) at the Congressional District levels. With the pending dire threat to several of these programs (primarily Medicaid & the ACA) from the House Republican Budget Proposal which recently passed, I'm going a step further and am generating pie charts which visualize just how much of every Congressional District's total population is at risk of losing healthcare coverage. USE THE DROP-DOWN MENU ABOVE TO FIND YOUR STATE & DISTRICT. You can find the data sources & methodology explanation links here. UPDATE 4/9/25: Scroll down for a high-def printable PDF version!

"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.

This is absolutely fascinating, and deeply moving: donations from First Nations to Ireland during the Great Famine extended well beyond those well-known acts of generosity from the Choctaw and Cherokee Nations - from many Nations across both the so-called US & Canada.

"Indigenous Canadian famine aid was 'hidden in plain sight'"

Musk Triggers A Corporate #Deregulation Bomb

A bill, written by Musk's own lawyers, in #Dems-controlled #Delaware legislature would award Musk $56B, shield corporate execs from liability, & strip away voting power from shareholders.

If they don't pass it, a Musk- led mass corporate exodus from Delaware is threatened.

Delawareans, lawmakers speak out on proposed #ReproductiveFreedom Constitutional Amendment

“Eight years after #Delaware codified #Abortion rights, discussion is underway on a proposed constitutional amendment to enshrine reproductive freedom in the Delaware Constitution.

SB5 was before the Senate Health and Social Services Committee Monday for a hearing. According to the sponsor, Senate Majority Leader #BryanTownsend, the amendment would incorporate the rights and framework already in the Delaware Code into the #Constitution..

Text Shot: "People are concerned about different avenues through which these rights may be taken away or might not be realized. And so, this is coming at a time when in that context we are trying to do everything we can - as we did before - to try and make these rights as fundamental as possible in Delaware," Townsend said. Senator Bryant Richardson, R-Seaford, who historically has been staunchly against abortion, said "I think this is just atrocious to think that we need to put this into our Constitution." Reproductive freedom under the bill is defined as the right to make decisions about all matters relating to pregnancy, childbirth, prenatal and postnatal care, contraception, sterilization, abortion, miscarriage and infertility. During testimony, Planned Parenthood of Delaware President and CEO April Thomas-Jones highlighted why the amendment is important: "Ensuring that this right is protected in Delaware's Constitution will safeguard the ability of Delawareans to access care…

The Battle For Musk’s Evil Lair

States are quietly weakening corporate accountability to lure Elon Musk & other business interests.

"deregulatory race has been put into overdrive thanks to tech billionaire #ElonMusk & his crusade against America’s longtime incorporation capital #Delaware...

Delaware courts refused #Musk a historic $55.8 billion compensation package from #Tesla last year, the billionaire has been on a crusade against the state."

Text from article: As the federal government reduces criminal prosecution of white-collar crime, states are now courting businesses by competing with one another to further shield corporate executives from legal actions that aim to hold them accountable for wrongdoing. Aiming to attract companies to the state, Nevada has changed its laws to shield executives from personal liability for misconduct and to limit the power of activist investors. In Texas, Republicans recently created a separate new court system for corporations stacked with judges who once worked for Big Oil. And Wyoming advertises its specialized laws that help secretive trusts shield information about their ownership. And now this quarter-century deregulatory race has been put into overdrive thanks to tech billionaire Elon Musk and his crusade against America’s longtime incorporation capital, Delaware — which is now being bludgeoned into changing its laws to benefit Musk and other oligarchs. For decades, much of corporate America saw the tiny East Coast state as the best place for companies to incorporate, thanks to its legal system that offers companies secrecy and courts with expertise in corporate law. Yet ever since Delaware courts refused Musk a historic $55.8 billion compensation package from Tesla last year, the billionaire has been on a crusade against the state.“Never incorporate your company in the state of Delaware,” Musk wrote last January... He suggested two alternatives: Texas and Nevada.

Delawarians like me are so proud to have Sarah McBride as our congresswoman ❤️

#SarahMcBride, #Delaware’s pioneer in Congress, toiling to thwart #Trump

“McBride is an inspirational figure from Delaware who in January became the first transgender member of Congress.

“It’s huge to have a member of our community actually representing us but also her district so well in Congress and with such poise,” says Debussy, who does advocacy work on Capitol Hill

Then she pushes open her heavy wooden office door. It’s time to work

A law firm representing both Musk and Tesla has drafted a bill to change #Delaware General Corporation Law to allow Musk to get his billions.
