FLA Deserves Better

The bad actions of bad actors have caused me to become overtly political.
Join me.
Let's DeSanitize the state of FLA and make it great again.

[FLA Deserves Better @FLAxResident]

Desantis is very proud of his 'school choice' bill.

Instead of subsidizing private education for the wealthy, why not focus on improving Florida's vastly underperforming education system?

Seems like Ron supports NAEP's assessment...
So, what about those 8th graders?

@maddow

Same Kavanaugh that dissented in this morning's scotus ruling against trump regarding USAid?

Funny how things change

Actually Justice Kavanaugh saw the law the same way when Obama was in office in 2013. He said the president doesn’t have authority to rescind or halt funds appropriated by Congress. Here’s his opinion from that case when he was on the DC Circuit:

@CryptidPolitics You like that?

Dig into Mrs Donald's connections to corrupt Kelly Mason Lichter and the insanity at Mason Academy in Collier County...

Felons on school grounds.
Litcher tried to repackage and sell a curriculum she did not own. Fraudulent PPP loans paid to her friends. And more!

If the state invested $4,000 more per kid (to bring us to the national average on state public education spending), that surplus would basically be gone.

This is not a brag when we continue to face the issue of access to uniform, high-quality public education in FL.

[Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith @CarlosGSmith]

The DeSantis administration grift is unbelievable. Florida law prohibits holding multiple public positions simultaneously.

Yet, Glen Gilzean claims he can get $400K to run the new Disney district + another $200K to oversee Orange elections. 💰

These GOP is getting filthy rich.

“The horrors inflicted by Christian& Bridget Ziegler on the LGBTQ comm are unforgivable. Esp for someone like Bridget who in a past life was a very liberal person w many friends in the LGBTQ community. Her total reversal 4 political, & financial gain makes it even more appalling”

“Policymakers are the stewards of taxpayer dollars, and so this eleventh-hour change to HB 1403 and the state’s failure to ensure appropriate guardrails for voucher purchases is particularly alarming." FPI's Norín Dollard, PhD

[Jeffrey S. Solochek @JeffSolochek]

Florida lawmakers proposed adding controls on how homeschool families spend state-funded education vouchers. They backed off after hearing complaints from parents.

[Holly Bullard @HollyBullardFL]

You think @GovRonDeSantis would be interested in vetoing a bill (HB1403) that, while originally said it would rein in families using taxpayer $ (vouchers) for things like DISNEY tickets, at the last minute stripped those restrictions? Is he ok w spending FL tax $ on Disney tix?

[Thomas Kennedy @tomaskenn]

Florida Legislature passed a bill removing ability for investigators to launch their own investigations into public corruption. This is after a Miami Commissioner is arrested for corruption, another was found weaponizing city agencies, and the Mayor is under five investigations.

[Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith @CarlosGSmith]

🚨 The Florida House of Representatives just passed a bill to lower the minimum age to purchase AR-15s to 18 years old.

I’M NOT KIDDING.

The GOP’s extreme supermajority is growing more dangerous every day. There are no Republican moderates.

It’s time we #TakeBackFL. 🗳️

[Thomas Kennedy @tomaskenn]

Here is Florida State Representative Alex Andrade arguing that slavery wasn’t so bad while debating another bill policing what can be taught in Florida schools.

[CathyNotToday2 🌿 @Cathy2NotToday]

Hey Florida

THIS IS ALSO HAPPENING HERE

They want to put unqualified/untrained chaplains in 🆘🆘OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS to “counsel” students

If this isn’t indoctrination, what is ?

Except Texas stood up and said NO

AND WON!

Where are all the Florida parents?

[Katie Phang @KatiePhang]

➡️ Florida public schools require vaccines for its students.

Folks, listen to what Trump is saying. They’re not idle threats.

[FLA Deserves Better @FLAxResident]

@fineout They want- no need this bill to go live in some form...

Remember, these same folks want anonymity removed from social media. By enacting an age requirement, they can and will require IDs for new accounts. They will also likely have close ties to the third-party verification co.

“Since DeSantis took office journalists& open govt advocates have found routine requests for public records take mos/yrs to fulfill

If the AG won't make enforcement of the Sunshine Laws a priority, then the courts must, & voters need to make open govt a bigger electoral issue”

Thread 🧵
1/ Congressman Bill Posey is getting a free pass from @January6thCmte, @TheJusticeDept, and the public in general, but he shouldn't be. His lies about the election, and his attempts to overturn the results are documented at length here.

Enjoy ☕

My parents paid taxes for almost 20 years that they were undocumented. The will never see any of the money they contributed to Social Security while having no papers.

[America's Voice @AmericasVoice]

It's Tax Day!

A reminder that undocumented immigrants and their households pay billions in federal, state and local taxes every year.

This money helps fund programs for the rest of us such as Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. #TaxDay

[FLA Deserves Better @FLAxResident]

Why?
How is removing all transparency a 'better way of governing'?
How is this justified?

[Jason Garcia @Jason_Garcia]

The Florida Senate just voted 28-12 to hide many of Gov. Ron DeSantis' travel records from the public.
