UF Students Fight Voter Suppression

Ana Rivas Logan Flees the GOP

 A former Republican congresswoman in Florida has left the GOP and joined the Democrats, citing her former party’s increasing attacks on women

and other minorities.......more

“The GOP of today is not the party I joined. It’s not the party of my parents. It’s a party that has been radicalized and held hostage by a group of extremists.”

Florida #1 Anti Women Destination

women change their vacation plans

Tourism is one of the biggest industries in so many of the states pushing attacks on reproductive health. Florida, Texas, South Carolina, Arizona, Michigan—all of them depend on tourism dollars, and all of them are on the front lines of the war on women.

Take Florida for example. For the last 3 years, Florida has been on the front lines in the War on Women. Mandatory ultrasounds. Budget cuts to rape crisis centers. Banning insurance coverage for abortion care. The list goes on.  
No politician wants to put one of their state's key industries at risk.

  Can you chip in to get this project off the ground?

Scott and Bondi: Florida's Culture Of Corruption

The state of Florida has joined a lawsuit aimed at blocking a massive cleanup plan for Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay.  And, no, you can’t make this stuff up.

Last week, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a brief — paid for with your taxes — attacking the legality of the Chesapeake Bay Clean Water Blueprint.

Why would the state of Florida try to obstruct the cleanup of public waters hundreds of miles away from our own?

Because Bondi and Gov. Rick Scott are complete tools.

They aren’t suing on behalf of the citizens of Florida; they’re suing on behalf of big agricultural and development interests that don’t want the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency enforcing clean-water laws anywhere......more
