Ron DeSantis keeps explaining away old Social Security, Medicare stances
“So when people say that we’re going to somehow cut seniors, so that is totally not true,” DeSantis added. “Talking about making changes for people in their thirties or forties so that the program is viable: You know, that’s a much different thing and that’s something that I think that there’s going to need to be discussions on.”....MORE

On the abortion front, Florida faces a clash between potential ballot proposals in 2024
Last weekend in Miami Beach, organizers behind a constitutional amendment protecting abortion access on next year’s ballot say they’ve gathered more than 420,000 petitions and raised more than $4.7 million in just two months — but opponents are trying to slow their momentum.
While it’s received little media attention, a group called Protect Human Life Florida is working on their own effort to collect signatures for what they are calling the Human Life Protection Amendment, setting up a potential clash on abortion proposals on the November ballot in 2024.

USF later acknowledged some officers had not yet received small-unit crowd control training.....MORE

The Tampa 5 are facing 10-plus years in jail! Drop the charges now!
Florida state prosecutor Justin Diaz it trying to put the Tampa 5 in prison.
The Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) members, arrested at a campus protest against the racist agenda of Governor Ron DeSantis, each face a trumped-up felony charge, alleging “battery on a police officer,” carrying five years of jail time. When the activists rejected a plea deal requiring them to apologize for doing the right thing, the prosecutor added on more felony charges. This means that three of the activists are facing more than ten years behind bars. In addition, the activists face ten misdemeanor charges.
The five facing charges are Chrisley Carpio, Laura Rodriguez, Gia Davila, Lauren Pineiro and Jeanie Kida. They have done nothing wrong. They are heroes who are standing up to injustice.
