I wish we lived in a world where I didn't feel constantly compelled to post this video, but until then here's Tony Benn speaking on war with clarity and moral conviction that you won't see from the evil people running the world today
This is to send it to the ballot in November, and it needs to get 60% to pass. We're crazy in Florida, but I still suspect 41% of us are sane enough not to destroy our local governments.
Like 31% of us rent, why on earth would that 31% vote for worse services with no return?
Made it over to St Pete, FL to cover the launch of city councilman Richie Floyd’s reelection campaign for St Pete City Council. He was first elected to city council in 2021 as an open democratic socialist and DSA member @cl_tampabay
I'm incredibly excited to announce that we're having our campaign launch Saturday January 24th at 7pm at Bananas Records! We'll have food, live music, and you can even buy a record or CD while you're there! Join us for a great time! RSVP at https://t.co/VOXFUr23Gj
Four years ago I was elected as the first democratic socialist in FL in 100 years. Since then, we've delivered results on tenants' rights, fought to end corporate handouts, and won funding for safer streets. Now we're running for reelection to continue the fight to make St. Pete a city that works for everyone! We're pushing for public power, social housing, safer streets, and more. Our campaign is going to stand up to the oligarchs and bullies in Tallahassee and DC, and we won't cede an inch to them when it comes to the rights of St. Pete residents. But we can't do any of this without you! Please visit https://t.co/SS9RL0Zme2 today to donate, and sign up to learn more!
Yesterday, I was honored to be elected Vice Chair of City Council for 2026. I was also appointed to serve on the PSTA board (our local transit authority) which I may be even more excited about! I'm looking forward to working hard for our city's residents this year!
Trump's first act in 2026? An illegal act of war against another country. Our government can always find money for violence and war. Not a penny for health care.
What do St. Pete residents REALLY think about Duke Energy? St. Pete City Council Member @richiejfloyd asked around at Halloween on Central a few weeks ago to hear what they had to say.

I urge Heads of State and the leaders of nations to listen to the cry of the poorest. There can be no peace without justice. The poor remind us of this in many ways, through migration as well as through their cries, which are often stifled by the myth of well-being and progress, which does not take everyone into account.
Politicians are back home and need to hear from us. Don’t miss your chance to speak out about what matters to you! Find your local town hall at https://t.co/PF36wBvjkl
Was proud to stand in solidarity with Sayfollah's family and community yesterday, calling for a full investigation into his death and an end to abhorrent behavior by Israeli settlers
