One lesson that we Christians have not learned in the last +2,000 years is that Jesus had no political control over the Roman Empire and he still changed the world.

We keep trying to change the world the way the Roman Empire did, instead of the way Jesus did.

Patrick Braxton was elected as Mayor in the majority Black town of Newbern, Alabama.

But the previous office holder, a white man, and the town’s council, also white, have refused to vacate the office.

For years. https://t.co/cJYEyuqgNb

Over the past four years Florida’s 67 districts will have seen 61 new superintendents by the time July 1 rolls around…“Could you imagine if you had 61 new sheriffs in Florida in the last four years, what kind of impact that would have on law enforcement?”

Going back to at least 2016, Florida election officials advised state committees that they could not transfer $ to federal super PACs

That has now changed as a state committee likely prepares to transfer $80m-plus to a pro-@GovRonDeSantis super PAC

When I was a building principal, we had a group of boys who were consistently getting office referrals during lunch for aggressive and disruptive behaviors. In the past, these behaviors had led to increasingly severe consequences that did not reduce the negative behaviors (and caused some students to be sent home and to miss instruction). I sat down with the group and we worked together to come up with a plan on what to do during lunch. One of the boys asked if we could start a knitting club, since his Auntie had recently taught him how to knit. Since he was a leader of the group, the other boys agreed. I asked them to come back tomorrow with some ideas of what to knit. The next day one of the boys said that he wanted to knit little hats for the preemies at the hospital, since his little cousin was there and that a nurse mentioned that they had run out of the little hats. The boys knitted daily and we delivered the hats to the hospital. We received many heartfelt thank you notes from families, nurses and doctors (and even an in-person visit with a personal thank you and cookies from a newborn's mom). This group continued to grow as did our ability to create knitted hats for preemies. This became a huge success for the participating students. There was significant improvement in the students’ behavior, attitude, achievement, and attendance. It is so important to think outside of the box for “win-win” solutions. It really isn’t the WHAT you do that is important, it is the WHY you are doing it! Our knitting group become a team, family, and community.

Gov. Ron DeSantis frequently touts how he fights COVID-19 restrictions.

But the stated reason why he hasn't selected anyone for the Florida Civil Rights Hall of Fame for multiple years?

To prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the induction ceremony.

On Sunday Supervisor of Elections Mike Hogan spoke about how we could save up to $3 MILLION and increase voter participation to nearly 80 PERCENT by moving the dates for our city elections. It's time.

Hard to overstate how much worse things are going to get in a country where the population is armed to the teeth then conditioned to live in a constant paranoid state of fear.

Florida has 5,294 teacher vacancies, the state education association says, compared with 2,217 vacancies in January 2019 when DeSantis took office. Teachers say they are leaving because of low pay and DeSantis' education policies, dubbed the "war on woke." https://t.co/vKhHTaHwke

Oh please! Let’s stop with the “liberal press” BS. I’m a conservative and I know like YOU do that this stinks. $500,000 of free stuff—and that was just one trip?! ANYONE in PUBLIC SERVICE knows that kind of spending is not just “hospitality”. #Ethics https://t.co/iXcZOnjkrO

There you have it.
A strong majority of Florida voters—including 52% of registered Republicans, 59% of independents—think Florida lawmakers shouldn’t have extended K12 vouchers to the wealthiest Floridians.
