[Monique H. Worrell @MoniqueHWorrell]

Today we mourn the loss of democracy. I am the duly-elected State Attorney for the Ninth Judicial Circuit. Nothing done by a weak dictator can change that. This is an outrage. I will not be bullied by DeSantis or used as a tool in his failing and disastrous presidential campaign.

[Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost @RepMaxwellFrost]

Wanna-be dictator DeSantis unconstitutionally suspended a duly elected official to breathe back life into his dying campaign. State Attorney Worrell is a public servant who has done her job. We see this for what it is- a fraud suspension & blatant abuse of power.
My full statement:

The state's largest teachers union, @FloridaEA, says record number of teacher vacancies caused by @RonDeSantis' policies, which the group says have turned the state's classrooms in a culture war battleground

Florida ‘s new educational standards will assault the emotional health of Black children.

If the Supreme Court found segregated education hurt Black children in 1954, THIS segregated white supremacist version of Black history will do the same in 2023 👇🏾

[Holly Bullard @HollyBullardFL]

The history of the Ocoee massacre is being distorted by these FL Dept of Ed rules.
And it intentionally continues to memory-hole WHY the whites went on such a rampage in 1920. It was not 1 person voting.
Have you EVER heard of The Florida Movement? No? That's purposeful. 🧵1/10

[Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, PhD 🔨 @AnnaForFlorida]

“The notion that enslaved people benefitted from being enslaved is inaccurate and a scary standard for us to establish in our education system.” State Rep. Anna Eskamani said.

[State Rep. Angie Nixon @AngieNixon]

Please see my statement on the Florida Board of Education’s new Black History Standards that reject teaching accurate Black History.

[Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, PhD 🔨 @AnnaForFlorida]

The petition to codify abortion rights will be from "Floridians Protecting Freedom" and that will be printed on the form too.

The anti-abortion extremists are also STALKING Floridians who collect petitions to codify abortion. This is literally on their website. 2/

[Planned Parenthood Florida Action @PPFLAction]

COURT UPDATE: The Florida Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments for the lawsuit challenging the 15-week abortion ban for Sept. 8th. Abortion remains legal in Florida until 15 weeks. Visit https://t.co/tJphjgjbKQ or call 1-800-230-PLAN to find a trusted abortion provider.

[Womens March Florida @WMW_Florida]

CORRECTION: Abortion is legal up to 15 weeks while FL Supreme Court reviews lawsuits filed on existing 15-week law passed in July 2022. Until a ruling is made, the 15-week law remains in effect. If Court upholds 15-week ban, then new 6-week ban goes into effect 30 days later.

[State Rep. Angie Nixon @AngieNixon]

Hundreds of bills go into effect in #Florida on Saturday, July 1st. Here are a few of the more harmful ones. #FloridaForAll #FreedomForAll

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

This.

[Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, PhD 🔨 @AnnaForFlorida]

Wow— some bad bills just signed into law by Governor DeSantis including:

1️⃣HB1417: Totally eliminates tenant protections put into place by local governments and preempts all of it to the State of Fl. 1/3

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

Today's decisions from the Supreme Court on Affirmative Action represent a significant setback for Civil Rights in the U.S. and are a cornerstone of the conservative movement's coordinated effort to roll back access to opportunity for systemically marginalized Americans.

[SisterSong: National Women of Color RJ Collective @SisterSong_WOC]

“Today we celebrate the passing of The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act as it is an important step towards protecting the human rights & well-being of pregnant and birthing workers. Historically, pregnant people have faced discrimination & challenges in the workplace." - Leah Jones

[League of Women Voters of the US @LWV]

SCOTUS squarely rejects the dangerous "Independent State Legislature" theory.

This is a clear victory for #peopleoverpoliticians.
