Helping my middle-schooler who is learning about the Declaration of Independence. We read it together. I was struck by the line, “A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”

@profmmurray.bsky.social I just started reading The U.S. Constitution. I’m already hooked by the line, “with the heat curdling their resentments.”

Please stay involved in FL politics!!!!! We need people with strong ethics and a record of service to work on improving our state and getting us on the right track.

I’m visiting Crystal River, FL for a kid’s sports thing. When I see this on a Crystal River tourism map, I see an agenda that divides. Do I spend my hard-earned money in an area that is not welcoming to all Floridians?

I want to get back to a time where I don’t have to have national park post cards on my fridge as a reminder that we can get back to decent, competent presidents.

Good luck. Work through the writing process and show ‘em what you know.

Yes. He learned about abrahamic religions in world history. He learned more about world religions/Ottoman Empire than I ever did in school. I’m in Florida and one of my kids does virtual. I am watching content. My biggest criticism is that they could teach kids more about importance of the census.

I believe civics education is critical for our children. I will say my teen is in a government class that has a unit on how to actively participate in government. He’s had history classes that taught about world religions and international relations. Adults need to vote & bring the kids when they do

It is my pet peeve when people use communist and socialist interchangeably. Did they not pay attention in civics class?

@avindman.bsky.social thoughts on 2.75 million in the FL budget to rename the airport?

I am trying to take comfort in the knowledge that the SC has made wrong decisions in the past and we’ve survived. Plessy v. Ferguson certainly wasn’t a shining moment for the court.

My teen is taking a government class. I’m looking at the material and there is a good line in his lesson. Every day you exercise your rights, you are protecting yourself from tyranny. I think I need to remind myself of that every day. It’s easy feel worn down by this hot mess.

Congrats! Library cards are amazing. When I fostered, one thing I always liked to do was take kids to get library cards.

It is my pet peeve when people equate communism and socialism. Did they miss civics class?

I’d like to attend a town hall but couldn’t find any info. Where can I hear her speak around Jax? I’ve heard good things and want to learn more about her vision for Florida.

This made me talk to my kids about Watergate. My high schooler recently learned about it in American History; it was new to my middle schooler. I did not ever anticipate discussing with my kids why a VP would minimize Watergate. I know I shouldn’t be surprised.anymore but some days I still am.

Seeing Vindman in St Aug on Wednesday. Looking forward to hearing what he has to say. Florida needs senators who work for us and not their party.

My teen is taking an online government class. I’m going over the material with him. He needs to be able to compare the Founding Fathers’intent to where we are today. I want my soon-to-voting age child to know how absolutely wrong this all is.

We need leadership that values all Floridians over party.

@amyray.bsky.social using the video for Let It Ring to help my son review for his American History exam. Good song and good video!

My son wrote to his state senator to share his opinion on Florida wanting to weaken child labor laws. The senator’s response was that he was too busy to respond to constituents. I’ll be reminding my son of that when he gets to vote.

I’m a supporter but think a name change is in order. Florida First is too close to America First. Even Put Florida’s Families First would be better.

I have a virtual student. Can’t tell you how many times we’ve talked about the themes of history coming around and the similarities between time periods and Nazi Germany. I’m always amazed at the things I have to explain about our politics to my kid at an early age because of current conditions.

Vindman should go. As a candidate, I want to see how my potential representative handles himself. Normally I would say we all need to listen to the message of our president to evaluate the direction of the nation. But today, I think we need to see how he looks and behaves.

My son is studying Japanese internment camps. We watched @georgetakei.bsky.social speaking about his experience online. Got his book, My Lost. Freedom, from the library. What an awesome read! The blend of personal story and history is really engaging. Good book to share together, especially now.

My kid is studying WW2. Can’t tell you how many Nazi references I’ve pointed out to him on the news and social media. Then we discuss if that’s a fair comparison. Surprise - it is! I didn’t expect to talk to him about why people are yelling “brown shirts” at ICE and “see you at Nuremberg.”

My family went to DC Sunday before Thanksgiving. We came in at the Federal triangle stop. A national guardman standing watch alone over the otherwise empty plaza. My husband spoke with him. Young pleasant guy from Mississippi. Tell me why the guard had to give up their lives/jobs to become a target.

Took my kids to Urban Air in Jacksonville, Florida. Their TV was playing Fox News. Now, I doubt anyone at Urban Air is there seeking news coverage. It was a disappointing experience for many reasons but the TV on Fox is why we won’t be returning.

One of my kids has a doppelganger. There is a picture of a “Wendy the Welder” from a Life magazine cover that looks exactly like her. Even her facial expression looks like my daughter. A friend of hers brought it to her attention. I’ve tried researching her to see if she’s related but no luck.

Aside from all the other issues, it’s so how people use socialism and communism interchangeably. This is Civics 101.

I have adopted children from foster care; they receive Medicaid as part of their adoption. I am so worried about what the future holds.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social saw Mark Kelly being interviewed on CNN. He spoke about a family like ours who has adopted children who receive Medicaid. We are worried and afraid that our adoption benefits will be compromised and our children will suffer. Thank you for fighting for families like ours.
