Muslim Women Speak Out About Florida

Latest Florida Presidential poll (Sept. 15-22, 2020)  shows Biden with a mere 3% lead 
in Florida

We are in troubled waters and about to drown in Florida unless the Biden campaign snaps out of its reverie and steers this ship in the direction of victory.

As you probably have guessed by now, we want Florida Democratic Party Chair Terrie Rizzo to spill her morning coffee when she reads this piece, then sit up, wake up and 
seize the moment.

Matt Gaetz Chronicles: Coronavirus Rules Ddon’t Work

Gaetz argued on Fox News that Trump catching coronavirus means that the guidelines put forth by the Centers for Disease Control don’t work.

“What I can tell you is if this virus can get into the Oval, into the body of the president, there is no place where it could not possibly infect one of our fellow Americans,” Gaetz argued, ignoring the fact that Trump had constantly engaged in risky behavior like holding packed campaign rallies across the country while refusing to wear a mask.

Florida Stop the Ppower Shutoffs

Even though the pandemic continues, Florida utilities are set to resume power shutoffs — which they paused at the beginning of the pandemic — threatening the health of one million Floridians. Earthjustice responded by filing an emergency petition to the Florida Public Service Commission (PSC), which regulates the state’s utilities, requesting action to stop the disconnections and protect Florida families during the pandemic. Shutting power off for people who have lost income because of COVID-19 does not serve the public interest. We might be able to stop this ill-advised decision — but we’ll need your help. 

The PSC is taking public comment on our petition, and we need to show overwhelming opposition to continued utility disconnections. HERE

Endorsing a Republican is not OK in 2020 in Tampa Bay

"If you are OK with any Democrat endorsing a Republican over a Progressive, we are likely not a good fit. In our estimation, to be a registered Republican and run for an elected office in 2020 means you stand for very different issues, policies, and political representatives than Progressives. Being a Republican candidate in 2020 is also a statement about your character. Furthermore, to run in a non-partisan race, and NOT change your party from R to NPA, but to stand your ground as a registered Republican, is just a doubling down on those deficiencies in progressive principles. Thus, we find that endorsing a Republican is not OK in 2020 in Tampa Bay."

Luis Viera Takes On Tampa Slumlord

Elected officials are looking into the claims from residents living in some of Tampa’s affordable housing units. Residents say the conditions they’re living in are deplorable.

Tampa City Councilman Luis Viera heard from residents during a recent virtual workshop. Each person detailed their living conditions at apartment complexes owned or managed by Tzadik Properties.

“Well you know I’m not gonna get into name calling right now,” Viera said. “Let’s just put it this way. What I saw out there, was deplorable. What I saw out there was shameful.”

Viera said he teamed up with the city’s code enforcement and paid a visit to Tzadik Properties Timberfalls Apartment Complex to see the conditions for himself. HERE

Caitlin Johnstone End of Illusions

So in case you missed it, the first US presidential debate was everything the US empire deserves and a fair reflection of everything the US empire is.

If Vladimir Putin were every bit the election-meddling demon the Democrats say he is, and if he had unlimited time and unlimited resources to create the perfect ninety-minute propaganda video to discredit the US-led unipolar world order, he could not have designed one more effective than the performance that was just delivered by President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden with the help of moderator Chris Wallace.

Florida Voter Suppression

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody’s call for state and federal investigations into billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s effort to raise millions to pay off court fees to help Florida felons restore their voting rights was a “gross abuse” of power, “voter suppression,” “a fear-mongering tactic used before” and based on a “fundamental misconception” of anti-corruption laws, according to experienced campaign lawyers and former federal election regulators.

Florida GOP to Fight Amendment 2 Which Would Boost Minimum Wage

Two state Republican leaders added their voices Monday in opposition to a proposed constitutional amendment that would gradually boost the minimum wage to $15 an hour in Florida.

Republican Party of Florida Chairman Joe Gruters, a state senator from Sarasota, and incoming House Speaker Chris Sprowls of Palm Harbor, described the ballot initiative as “a Trojan horse,” “a trapdoor,” and “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” that will bring to Florida “failed policies

” From liberal cities where streets are “covered in poverty, riots, crime.” HERE

Jessica Marx Part-Time Witch In Ybor City

Jessica Marx is a full-time shop girl and a part-time witch living among the mortals in Ybor City, Florida. She uses her powers of divination and enchantment to help deserving customers at her boutique find love, turning special articles of vintage clothing into time machines, portals to other dimensions, and wearable glamour spells. Even though she’s still a new witch, her love spells seem to work (sort of) and Jessica gets a boost of good vibes every time she helps make a love connection. Too bad Jessica can’t conjure a love spell for herself.


Sarasota Rightwing school board member Bridget Ziegler

Has taken aim at the Black Lives Matter movement. On September 14, she posted a video about Black Lives Matter and the Civil Rights Movement from BrainPop, a widely used learning resource that creates instructional videos for schools. 

“Our job is to educate, not indoctrinate,” 

said Ziegler, referring to the movement to end violence against Black people in America. Now Ziegler is trying to find out which teachers used the BrainPop video, and looking into the company’s contract with the school district. HERE
