Now would be a great time to condemn the NAZIS parading around Orlando today. Anti semitism is alive and well among your constituents. And they definitely support only one political party.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we must never forget the tragedy of the Holocaust and also continue to confront antisemitism wherever it rears its ugly head.

@GovRonDeSantis

Disney’s sloppy and futile attempt to subvert the will of the Legislature and Floridians was uncovered by our state oversight board and their 11th hour agreements will be nullified by the Legislature.

It’s not their child’s health that’s at issue. It’s the other children to whom they are transmitting. What about the other students’ rights and their parents’ rights to stay healthy? Why don’t you all understand this? It’s the community that we need to care about not self.
Students should not be bullied because their parents exercised their rights to make decisions about their child’s education and health. Thankful the Board of Education made it clear that such harassment would make a child eligible for a Hope Scholarship.

The Florida Department of Education says mandatory mask policies for students qualify as "COVID-19 harassment."
"Unnecessarily isolating, quarantining, or subjecting children to physical COVID-19 constraints in schools poses a threat to developmental upbringing."

Appalling to see Nazi flags and such raw displays of

To all the smart people out there who believe in doing their homework and being prepared, Kamala Harris’ performance shows why. And it shows such a lack of respect for your vote and for the office of the President by Trump.
“In fact, we often dismiss or even degrade all the
At the debate, Kamala Harris “had the better night by far, and it was partly because she did her homework,”

My closing argument against the awful don’t say gay bill. We have lost our way, lost our humanity when nonsensical and hurtful bills occupy our time to the detriment of the real economic issues we face. FL is going backwards.

Zeek is a real charmer. How many times does Trump have to scream that he is a misogynistic pig for every single woman to vote against him? And most men for that matter. I can’t believe I could be even more disgusted but every day it gets worse. 😡
Donald Trump reposted this. Is this really who you want making decisions about women’s freedoms and safety?

If you care about inflation, here’s
@GovRonDeSantis
plan: cut gas tax (that was only Oct), cut tolls, diaper tax break (Dem bill). That’s it. That’s what he said at debate. Nothing on rent, housing or insurance. Care about the economy? vote D. Bc gov doesn’t care about u. We do.
Shout it from the rooftops, folks.
This is the closing argument we need to be making. Tune out the noise. Tune out the lies. Keep it simple. Keep it clear. Stick to the facts. Stick to what people care about.

First, to my Parkland families, I am so sorry. I know it opens up all the wounds every time there’s yet another school shooting. 2nd, to Republicans in FL and in Congress- what’s your plan? Keep doing nothing? We’ve got ideas. How could you NOT TRY to save lives? NOT ACCEPTABLE!
Guns are a uniquely American problem.
The rest of the world has mental health issues.
The rest of the world has ideological & philosophical division.
They have social media, pot, porn, cellphones & video games.
What they don’t have — is more guns than people, they don’t have

I would expect more from you
@JeremyRedfernFL
. At least get your facts straight. What evidence do you have that she is transgender? You guys just like to rile people up on these bs issues. We have plenty of real issues to be upset about - like property insurance rates in FL!

@GovRonDeSantis
signed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act to prevent this in Florida.
But below is what the Biden-Harris Title IX rewrite would do to female sports across the US.
FL schools won’t be implementing the Biden-Harris rule and will continue the fight for fairness.

This is the man in charge of insurance in our state for the past 5 years! I have constituents sobbing to me they can’t afford rates. And this is the crap the R’s worry about and waste our time with in session. Do your job Jimmy and stop pandering. (After you cash those checks).
We did what it took to help stabilize Florida’s insurance market. If they pull out of the Florida market but are still embracing ESG and DEI, we’re going to call them out on it.

And this is FL now. I call on every Republican legislator to condemn her behavior and let’s send a message to
@GovRonDeSantis
and vote this hateful bill down. Join us and do the right thing. You’re either with your LGBTQ constituents or you’re not. There’s no in between

@GovRonDeSantis
’ spokesperson has said the quiet part out loud: that this bill is grounded in a belief that LGBTQ people, simply by existing, are a threat to children and must be erased.
He chose
@ChristinaPushaw
to speak his mind. He owns this unbridled hate.

Wow. From a coward no less. Is there something wrong with being respectful of the culture from where she is reporting? And also isn’t safer for her? Is this your attempt to score some cheap anti-Muslim points?

This is a good time to remind everyone why

signed the don’t say gay bill. They can say all they want it is not about gay kids or gay parents but listen to why the bill sponsor brought this hateful bill: “too many gays.” His words not mine. I just got it out of him

There has never been more anti-semitism and hate in this state and this country as we are experiencing now. I have personally been the target of this vile behavior. It is incumbent on every human being and especially our leaders to speak up and quell this tide now. Never again.

We fight against unconstitutional bills. We vote against them. They pass. They get sued. They lose. We pay.
Governor DeSantis is paying lawyers $675/hr -- more than what most Central Floridians earn in a week -- to defend his unconstitutional laws in court. The good news: they’re losing.

This is now the law of Florida. You could be arrested if a peaceful protest turns violent through no fault of your own. Violent behavior is already criminal- this bill is just meat for the base. He is hurting Floridians. Remember this 💔

This is beyond outrageous. When Covid first hit we asked for a special session to address among other things the horrible unemployment assistance system. When Floridians needed help, they said no. Now, for political expediency, we have a special session. Shows you their values.
