south florida, especially miami, was built brick by brick by the hands of bahamians and african americans, i’ll be DAMNED if the GOP makes me forget the rich history of my city and county
i hate living in florida and, once i leave, id rather die than come back. HOWEVER!!!!
i will defend the beautiful parts of florida like our cultural history, the massive queer, socialist, multi-racial, progressive population, even if overshadowed by conservatism.
@thotsui this statement was in agreement!!! it just was an example of how they didn’t. miami was pretty Black and white for a while (small groups of asian n hispanic rail workers). this WAS the south, after all. we were colored together whether they like it or not
@thotsui the ones who were barely here when henry flagler decided to build the railroad… right, right. (i personally really hate their erasure of black history in soflo too many are extremely antiblack
the thing no one can seem to grasp about FL is that it was never THIS bad in decades past. its largely been made worse by the swathes of boomers from yalls blue states who move here and vote in the republicans who use this state as a cash grab
Do not do this. Not only should you not submit this kind of history to the torment nexus, you don’t get to submit other ppl’s messages to it
Think about what you owe others in terms of basic decency and privacy
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
I hope @AngieNixon wins to help win back the senate but honestly more so to rub it in the face of people from the north.
She is an amazing candidate in her own right but people dismiss her and her politics because she’s from Florida. She is who she is because she of this state
I live in Puna Hawai'i and my area is on our 6th day without power and now 3 more storms are coming.
The government does not care.
Not your local government*, not the state government, and definitely not the Federal government.
*Except Mamdani.
Angel Reese becomes the first player in WNBA history to record 20+ points, 10+ rebounds, and 8+ assists without missing a single shot.
NBA players to accomplish the same include Wilt Chamberlain, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic.
If this exact cocaine trafficking ring had been operating out of an HBCU fraternity house, I suspect the headlines would've focused on the school first and the individuals second. At Penn State, much of the coverage feels framed as a fraternity scandal rather than a reflection of the institution itself. Coincidence? I think not.
