Florida! Please call your State Senators and ask them to oppose HB133 (lowering the purchase age for guns) and your State Rep and ask them to oppose HB289 (nonsense fetal personhood snuck into a liability law we don’t need). #DWXWOC #FloridaPolitics #StopHB289 #StopHB133 #Democrats #BlueDot

Florida Folx - Our state legislature is being terrible again and trying to fast track two bills. Please call your State Senator to oppose HB 133! Also call your State Rep to vote NO on HB 289! #floridademocrats #voteblue

Floridians are being crushed by rising costs. The DeSantis-appointed Public Utilities Commission approved the largest utilities rate hike in U.S. history. Apparently, FPL needs more of your money to keep the lights on,…

Democrats just MASSIVELY overperformed in 2 Florida special elections. House 40: Harris +35 → RaShon Young +50 (75–25). Senate 15: Harris +23 → Lavon Bracy Davis +45 (73–27). That’s 15- and 22-point swings toward Democrats.

When you understand that Christian nationalists are changing the public’s beliefs around empathy, specifically calling it a sin and harmful, it’s so much easier to see how MAGA is so angry, callus, and inhumane. Imagine believing that your biblical teachings are incongruous with love and empathy.

There's a growing movement, among some conservatives, pushing back against traditional notions of empathy. What's behind it, and what might it mean, especially for Christian conservatives?

Florida’s unelected Education Commissioner is officially banning books statewide by tweet and just disregarding the Equality Florida settlement that says limitations on classroom instruction do not apply to the voluntary nature of materials in the library.

We will continue to ensure that the material in Florida schools focuses on enhancing academic achievement, not gender ideology. 

@VanAyresHCPS was wise to pull these books. All school districts remain on notice and should govern themselves accordingly.

The book Trans Mission by Alex Bertie will be removed today, August 8th, from all Hillsborough County Public Schools. In addition, at the September gth School Board meeting, I will bring forward a recommendation to remove the books Blankets and Identical based on recent additional information.

Excellent points from Commissioners Semrad and Uribe! Demings acted out of procedure with no true legal justification. He claims he was “buying time” by ratifying an amendment with no discourse from our elected body. There was no clear threat. His rationale was that the governor was coming Orl-AND?!

Gerrymandering undermines the power of marginalized communities by manipulating district boundaries to weaken their collective voice. For Black, Latino, Indigenous, immigrant, low-income, and other disenfranchised groups, this often means remaining unheard in the places where decisions are made.

🚨 The Senate is voting soon on cuts to public broadcasting, global health programs, and foreign aid funds. This would dismantle local NPR and PBS stations, yet another way the Trump regime is attacking institutions. Use 5calls.org or call 202-224-3121 to tell Senators to vote NO on the Rescission.
Poster titled “Tell Your Senators: Vote NO on the Rescission Package” with the “AID on the HILL” logo. Subheading in red says: “These GOP Senators Have the Most Power to Stop the Cuts.” The text explains that members of the Senate Appropriations Committee control federal funding, and the proposed rescission bill would cancel $8.3 billion in already-approved humanitarian and development aid.

Two red columns list the following GOP senators:

Left column:
	•	Sen. Collins (Maine)
	•	Sen. McConnell (Kentucky)
	•	Sen. Murkowski (Alaska)
	•	Sen. Graham (South Carolina)
	•	Sen. Moran (Kansas)
	•	Sen. Hoeven (North Dakota)
	•	Sen. Boozman (Arkansas)
	•	Sen. Capito (West Virginia)

Right column:
	•	Sen. Kennedy (Louisiana)
	•	Sen. Hyde-Smith (Mississippi)
	•	Sen. Hagerty (Tennessee)
	•	Sen. Britt (Alabama)
	•	Sen. Mullin (Oklahoma)
	•	Sen. Fischer (Nebraska)
	•	Sen. Rounds (South Dakota)

Footer in blue directs readers to “CALL THE CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD AT (202) 224–3121.” Background is white and navy with red highlights
