The legislature has taken us in a dangerous direction and turned our classrooms into political battlefields. I’m fighting back and running for Florida Senate to give our community HOPE that we can still elect people who care about helping people. Together we win in 2024.

SEVENTY EIGHT. That’s the number of verified child sex-trafficking victims who were groomed and recruited out of Ron DeSantis’ state-run foster care in 2021. ZERO. That’s how many were recruited from Drag shows. Guess who’s being investigated. theblaze.com/news/desantis-…

The rainbow crosswalk was APPROVED by FDOT years ago to honor the 49 + enhance pedestrian safety for those who come to pay their respects. You looked survivors in the eye + promised they would never be forgotten-- then betrayed them for political ambition. They won't be erased.

The Governor told us on the site of Pulse nightclub, that he wouldn’t leave the LGBTQ community behind. He not only failed to follow thru— he betrayed us, vetoed funding for shooting survivors and endlessly attacked demonized us with impunity. Ron DeSantis is a two-faced fraud.

Approximately 9,000 transgender Floridians woke up today to find out they no longer have life-saving Medicaid coverage. DeSantis bypassed the legislature and weaponized state agencies against his own constituents for simply minding their own business. This is not freedom.

Ron DeSantis just suspended a state attorney, who was twice elected by Floridians, because he’s not willing to send women to prison for getting abortions. This administration is morphing into an authoritarian regime in plain sight. We can stop this. 🗳

UCF professors are renaming courses and removing phrases like “human rights”, “social justice”, “equity” and “equal” to avoid being targeted or tracked by the state. This is happening in 2023 in the United States under the new McCarthyism of Ron DeSantis.

For the record, the State of Florida operates exactly ZERO COVID testing sites. #Desantis shut them all down in May since prevention isn’t really his thing. If he opened even a single testing site, it would be a huge improvement over their current effort…which is ZERO.

Florida Republicans want to ban books. Me and my fellow Democrats want to ban assault weapons. Vote accordingly.

Just left Florida’s Everglades immigrant detention camp. 750 humans in cages. Not allowed to speak to detainees. No walk through of occupied areas. Immigrants without criminal records. $450 MILLION in no-bid contracts for GOP donors. I am ashamed. Shut this facility down now.

The DeSantis’ state government regime installed a puppet Board of Trustees at New College and invited a far-right commencement speaker for graduation. Things did not go well. 🤣

This is NOT the place I call home. It’s not Orlando, it’s not Florida. It’s a dystopian upside down world contrived out of an era of unchecked political extremism and overt bigotry. I refuse to be a bystander. We will not let hate win.
