For anyone who remembers the years of litigation and re-drawing of maps after the 2012 redistricting ... Who's ready for more?!

Our editorial:

[Sun Sentinel Opinion @SoFlaOpinion]

Unconstitutional congressional district maps in Ala. and La. have been overturned after U.S. Supreme Court rulings, and the court has also found that such maps are subject to state court review in a case out of North Carolina. Florida's maps could be next. https://t.co/OWryn9jYw0

"Fine declined to comment to the Sun Sentinel when reached Wednesday on his cellphone.

“I’m in Ireland. I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t talk to the Sentinel,” he said before hanging up."

@BrittanyWallman @ABLichtenstein @TweetDeck I feel like whatever Twitter clone Meta's working on right now, if it turns out to just be "Twitter, but before the purchase," it'll be a huge hit -- and let's face it, Twitter pre-Musk was no great shakes either, but def. better than this dumpster fire.

[Dan Sweeney @Daniel_Sweeney]

@ABLichtenstein @BrittanyWallman @TweetDeck And after 30 days you'll need to give Musk money to use it anyway.

[Sun Sentinel Opinion @SoFlaOpinion]

The jury in Scot Peterson's trial made the correct decision on the law. Should the law be changed to stipulate that armed law enforcement officers have a duty to protect citizens? What would such a change in the law look like specifically? https://t.co/7Tx73P8JAF

At its last meeting, in which it was supposed to approve the contract of Broward's new school superintendent, the School Board failed to do so because there wasn't a quorum -- only three out of nine members were in the room.

[Sun Sentinel Opinion @SoFlaOpinion]

For most of us who work for a living, showing up on the job on a work day is a minimal expectation. But for some members of the Broward School Board, just showing up appears to be asking too much, writes @browardschools' former communications director. https://t.co/d5OBZIVQk8

[Sun Sentinel Opinion @SoFlaOpinion]

Florida's ban on discussing sexual orientation in schools was worded as vaguely as possible, writes columnist @Scott_Maxwell, and then schools were warned to err on the side of caution. What happened next was all too predictable. https://t.co/kqtHsAuBay

This Fourth of July, we celebrate @FLFreedomRead, @FLRightsRestore, @jack_petocz, @FLCTRGA, @ProudTwinkie, and all those who have pushed for the recognition of the rights of all Floridians.

Our editorial:

[Sun Sentinel Opinion @SoFlaOpinion]

Freedom and liberty are not destinations, they are journeys. Today, there are many who carry forward the work begun by our Founding Fathers. https://t.co/HZrtJN6jKX

[Sun Sentinel Opinion @SoFlaOpinion]

Extreme, pro-censorship authoritarians are ringing in July 4 by calling for book bans, writes @SvanteMyrick, president of @peoplefor. That’s un-American and wrong. https://t.co/nncvoi30mx

@doctorow Hey I know, Cory retweeted this, but guys, please, no need to retweet. Don't you know this is just adding to the extremely limited number of tweets people can read?

Of course, I'm sure this can all be fixed if we all just pay more money and give away more personal information.

[Dan Sweeney @Daniel_Sweeney]

We may be seeing the final boss level of what @doctorow has termed #enshittification. Stunning stuff.

[Dan Sweeney @Daniel_Sweeney]

@MollyJongFast What is normal anymore?

[Sun Sentinel Opinion @SoFlaOpinion]

One example among many: DeSantis has promised to not merely build Trump's promised border wall, but to have suspected smugglers shot on sight and invade Mexico to battle drug cartels. https://t.co/ejqaQAsCCQ

Are you following me @GoodyearBlimp? 😂

Update: This movie was freakin' great. Ignore the haters

[Dan Sweeney @Daniel_Sweeney]

I'm just so happy 😭

@TheRickWilson Now, now. It's just to _study_ the use of. Of course, after the state hands the industry a glowing (pun intended) study extoling the many virtues of using phosphogypsum in road construction, you can depend on the Legislature to greenlight the practice in the '24 or '25 session.
