- Listening to @GovRonDeSantis explain why he thinks Tallahassee's homes will hold up okay to a Cat 3/4 hurricane is a good clue that he has never, ever been through a hurricane of any substance.
00:00 - So Nazi symbols were projected on buildings in Jax and West Palm Beach for extended periods of time this past weekend. We all know why this is happening now. We all know why these people feel comfortable operating in Florida. But no one says anything. The silence is deafening.
- Cuts tens of millions of dollars from the budget for the arts but plenty of money to pay for a family day trip to Miami to watch the Dolphins. Your tax dollars at work, fellow Floridians.
- Someone should do a documentary about how @GovRonDeSantis spent tens of millions of tax dollars setting up a base camp in the Keys staffed with state LEOs & national guard assets in order to embarrass the federal govt and stop a Haitian migrant surge...and then nothing happened.
- "A federal judge in Boston has ruled that migrants flown from Texas to Martha's Vineyard in 2022 can proceed with a lawsuit against the Florida company that took them there." I hope they all become millionaires.
- Only in the "Free State of Florida" do plainclothes police officers visit your residence after you've signed a petition and interview you about your actions. How many times does @GovRonDeSantis have to punch Floridians before we start punching back?
- The Marathon, FL Locals Facebook page has video of a pod of orcas that was encountered off of Key Largo today...

- "About 18,000 Dade high school students not currently immunized against measles, mumps and other diseases could be banned from school until they get their shots." [Miami News - November 17, 1981]
- "Florida's average SAT scores have dropped to 948 in 2024, 18 points lower than last year and nearly 70 points lower than 2017, raising concerns among educators." "The Education State," as @GovRonDeSantis likes to call it, is now ranked 47th.
- From a @Publix news release dated March 1, 2024... "Net earnings for the fiscal year ended Dec. 30, 2023 were $4.3 billion, compared to $2.9 billion in 2022, an increase of 49%" 49%. Think about when it was you were paying $7 for eggs, folks. source 👉🏼
- A collection of the best photos from Obama’s presidency, according to The @guardian | the below is my personal fav. theguardian.com/us-news/galler…
