Jon Cryer Ruffled Matt Gaetz’s Feathers

Cryer, who frequently tweets about politics and his disdain for the Trump White House, ruffled Gaetz’s feathers with a post announcing he’d made a campaign contribution to Phil Ehr, the man running against him. In his tweet, the actor accused the Florida Republican, and prominent Trump ally, of inviting “a white supremacist to the State of the Union, [attempting] to intimidate a federal witness and [endorsing] a sociopathic bigot who applauded the deaths of migrants 
for Congress.” HERE

Opposition to school reopenings mounts across Florida

Opposition to the forced reopening of schools across Florida is building each day, as this policy has already produced over 1,200 confirmed cases of COVID-19 at dozens of schools. In just the first three days after reopening schools Monday, Hillsborough County School District, reported 28 cases involving 23 schools and the district office, bringing the total cases in Hillsborough to 37,821.
---
More broadly, the spread of COVID-19 continues to deepen throughout the state, with 637,013 confirmed cases and over 11,800 deaths as of September 4. Both figures likely represent only a fraction of the total as a lack of testing and an official misinformation campaign on the part of the right-wing Republican Governor Ron DeSantis and the Trump administration have deliberately concealed the true spread of the disease.HERE

On Friday, students in Leon County, home to the state capitol Tallahassee, protested the deadly conditions under which they are being forced to learn. HERE

Meet Katherine Norman Candidate for FL Senate #23

Katherine Norman is a mother, entrepreneur and lifelong Sarasota resident. She is a passionate environmental advocate running for Florida State Senate in District 23 to bring transparent and compassionate leadership for Sarasota and Charlotte counties. For too long politics has been divisive, overwhelming, and deliberately complicated. This precludes people from being involved with legislation and government policy that affects their interests. We deserve real representation comprised of transparent, dedicated individuals that come from diverse backgrounds and demographics. Katherine Norman is determined to advocate for our values - clean, healthy waterways, access to quality education, world-class healthcare, safe communities, and the individual rights of all Floridians.

Maura Cruz Lanz is wrong about the homeless

Florida GOP Maura Cruz Lanz who has many, many apartments said 
---
“I have met with many homeless people — some of them really just want to stay homeless, they do not want housing, they 
don’t want anything.”
---
Ms. Lanz, I have been taking pictures of the local homeless for almost 20 years and I can count on one hand the people that 
have told me that.

Please don't confuse those homeless with what we are about to experience 
because of evictions.

School Board Candidate Jessica Vaughn: Choose Wisely

"I'm incredibly disappointed that I have to write this but...if your "principles" encourage you to support a candidate who openly embraces the privatization of our public schools, a candidate who is best friends with Ken Hagan (a Hillsborough County Commissioner who was/is under FBI investigation for BREAKING THE LAW by leveraging his considerable influence to benefit developers by accepting HUGE BUNDLED contributions from them), a candidate who themselves have taken HUGE BUNDLED contributions from those same developers - despite the fact that accepting those donations put this candidate in a direct "conflict of interest" with the planning commission role he was appointed to by Ken Hagan and a candidate who can't even understand a question about equity within our schools; then you really need to re-evaluate your principles and who you claim to stand for.
---
Especially if you supported this candidate in a race with five other candidates whose platforms all embraced public schools, safety, education, equity and transparency. Who you support during times like these, speaks volumes about your character. In closing, I'm just going to leave this right here." MORE
