Florida's Culture Of Corruption: Pam Bondi
Pam Bondi had shown that her priority wasn't the public.
Bondi joined the lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act. Last summer, Bondi also joined the lawsuit against the Obama administration's Clean Power Plan, which seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause global warming and sea level rise. According to a study no state faces a greater threat from rising seas than Florida. Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Jacksonville are the cities most at risk. Yet Bondi would block the program that allows states to create plans for reducing emissions by 2020. here
Given her resistance to the Affordable Care Act and the Clean Power Plan, it is no surprise that Bondi placed her political interests above the interests of Floridians who complained to the state that Trump University scammed them. The difference is the clarity of Bondi's selfishness.

Dezeray Lyn: Fuck Jails. Fuck Judges
"I have to let everyone in Tampa know that we are now safer... I sat in a courtroom this morning doing jail solidarity and watched the police/judge keep my community 'safe' by delivering 'justice' in the form of sentencing a young houseless man to a year in jail for stealing food worth less than ten dollars from 7-11.
This came from a judge who ten minutes earlier started shouting and had a young man arrested for his phone ringing in court. This is from the judge, "IF YOUR PHONE RINGS IN CHURCH, GOD SENDS YOU TO HELL! IN MY COURTROOM YOU GET SENT TO JAIL!"
One young man facing life in prison who wouldn't take a plea deal because he insisted upon his innocence was treated like absolute shit for it. And our friend... Navigating life with mental health issues and crushing poverty will have a year in jail to review his 'crime' of thinking that food was a human right. One might assume that the poverty driving people to steal food, and the fact that so many thousands of our community members are on the streets, food insecure, hungry and lacking adequate medical care, would be an indictment of the ciry rather than the community members themselves. Fuck jails. Fuck judges."

Florida's Right Wing Infestation: Joe Kaufman
Joe Kaufman is running against Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Tim Canova for Florida's 23rd Congressional District. On Sunday, he put out a call to shut down "every Florida radical Muslim institution" — though he couldn't say how he'd sort out "radical" from "nonradical" ones. Kaufman is running, in essence, on a platform that boils down to "Muslims are scary." He writes often for the ultra-right-wing FrontPage Magazine, where he calls Muslims "terrorists." here
