If Florida GOP Trump supporter Joe Gruters from Sarasota has his way.  He filed a bill that would add discrimination against "political affiliation" to the list of infractions Florida classifies as hate crimes, and though he insists the law would apply to both Liberals and conservatives, Gruters' social media posts make it pretty clear which side he's worried about. here

Hugh Hefner RIP

Hugh Hefner, or "Hef" as he preferred to be called, played a crucial role in the early days of NORML. At a time when most Americans were accepting the government's "reefer madness" propaganda, Hef, through the Playboy Foundation, provided NORML with our initial funding in early 1971, and became our primary funder all during the 1970s. Hefner was a fearless cultural crusader who believed deeply not just in the right to sexual freedom, but also in civil rights and the right to privacy.
May he rest in peace.
-From NORML co-founder Keith Stroup

Progressives Win In Florida

Susan Smith, President of the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida, released the following statement:
Congratulations to DPCF member Annette Taddeo on her hard-fought win in the Senate District 40 Special Election! This was a big victory for Annette, but more importantly, for the people of Florida.
Yesterday with the election of Annette Taddeo, the voters of Senate District 40 said yes to progress. They said yes to an academically sound, well-funded public education system and no to unaccountable, for-profit corporate charter schools. They said yes to safe drinking water and no to dangerous practices like fracking that can destroy Florida's precious environment. They said yes to improved infrastructure with better transit options and no to high tolls and road privatization. They said yes to putting the interests of the people over the interests of the powerful.
In the SD 40 race, the voters chose a progressive voice to represent them in Tallahassee. They chose Annette Taddeo because she will support policies that protect the many, not the few.

Tragedy In Plant City, Florida

 "Jesus Cervantes, a man who called them for help... a young father who was in mental health crisis, a human being with children a family and a wife, who was heard on the 911 call grunting and crying and hoping that someone would see he was in trouble and do something to help him. Rather he was met by police who shot him to death
 on the spot."
 Dezeray Lyn's words on what happened last night in 
Plant City.
