It's time to end unconstitutional religious invocations at the Duval County Public Schools' board meetings.

The litter and blight equipment we're putting into service today gives our hardworking crews the firepower to back up our commitment, with cleaner streets and faster response. We’re going to be putting up cameras in spots across Jacksonville to catch more people in the act of illegal dumping so that they can be held accountable. We also have to change behavior and stop littering in the first place. That's why we launched Keep Jax Cute, Don’t Pollute, our citywide call to action that says: this is our city, and we're going to treat it that way by keeping it clean.

.@realDonaldTrump…I say this with the utmost disrespect. Unless those aliens are going to lower gas prices, we the American People don’t give AF! -the soon to be Senator that will be happy to vote for your removal after your impeachment.

@NateM_Tributary And now NextEra wants to buy up the Dominion Energy behemoth in Virginia!

How much longer should FL families wait for accountability?

When asked what transparency measures were added to track taxpayer $ in the voucher program, the K-12 budget chair replied: “Maybe next year.”

Families deserve oversight & transparency now: https://t.co/2b6xpiXrb7

It's called a "dream" for a reason. Too many Americans are left dreaming for better schools, healthcare, housing, and jobs while the wealthy keep more and more for themselves like the corporate landlords Corporate Kirwan did work for. VOTE @Lj4CONGRESS IN CD4 for a better day!

[Kirwan for Congress @votekirwan]

The American Dream is the idea that anyone, regardless of where they were born, or what class they were born into, can attain success and upper mobility through hard work, determination, and initiative. Last year the Wall Street Journal did a poll and found that 69% of Americans said the American Dream was no longer true. I believe this is our greatest problem as a nation. Our country has been held together by a shared belief in the American Dream. We must work quickly to restore faith in the American Dream.

This FL mom shares how her neighborhood public school became her daughter’s village & made sure her child got the support she needed.

Public schools work best when they’re fully funded & empowered to support every student.

TODAY at 5pm! Come speak at the city council meeting in support of the resolution to keep any jail out of redlined communities!

It’s exhausting having to fight the same unconstitutional Christian nationalist nonsense over and over again.

But when officials openly act like church/state separation no longer matters, we have to keep pushing back.

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and defend our freedoms.

[City of Jacksonville @CityofJax]

☀️ Good Morning ☀️

Happy Monday! What a gorgeous start to this Memorial Day. We hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend. Hopefully you can join us for our Memorial Day Observance at the Veterans Memorial Wall as we honor those who gave all for this great nation.

[FFRF @FFRF]

We’re trying to figure out how this agenda is meaningfully different from the “Sharia law” conservatives keep fearmongering about.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Facts are annoying to Republicans.

“I don’t think that the disparate impact of prejudicial and racist policies of the last 100 years has now expired and now we’re a moment of great equality and equity, I don’t,” @davidjollyfl said. “I think the disparate impact is still real today.” https://t.co/xgWxxt16ih

[Florida Education Association @FloridaEA]

This #MemorialDay, we pause to remember and honor the heroes who gave up their lives for our country. Their courage and ultimate sacrifice will never be forgotten and we are forever grateful.

[City of Jacksonville @CityofJax]

Happening now 💦 The City and @jaxparks are excited to announce the opening of 30 community pools starting this Memorial Day Weekend.

“Our strength is our oath to the Constitution” rings hollow when you end the speech with “ONE NATION UNDER GOD” and push government-endorsed religion.

Unity doesn’t require religious conformity. It requires respecting everyone’s right to hold their own beliefs — or none at all.

[Firepit @FirepitMike]

@NancyMace Keep your ancient ignorance out of our public policy.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Lifted off food stamps?

Trump and Republicans RIPPED food assistance away from millions of Americans to pay for giant tax giveaways for billionaires.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

Republicans knew the War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s Iran War was about to pass—so they pulled the bill off the floor.

When they can’t win, they hide. Vote them out.
