Morales: I don’t care if you’re the most individualistic person on the planet—because you “lift yourself up by your bootstraps” and think government should stay out of your business and “don’t tread on me.” Climate change is already treading on you, and you should care about this issue.

The goddamn nerve of Jeff Bezos' newspaper to talk shit about raising the minimum wage at a moment when workers at Jeff Bezos' online superstore -- who are paid so little half of them in one study were on SNAP benefits -- are going hungry. The fucking arrogance.

We really need a constitutional amendment to limit presidential pardon power even if it is only possible to pass it after Trump’s term. The founders obviously never envisioned any president using it this brazenly and corruptly while remaining impervious to impeachment.

People on the far right are literally citing the fact that a lot of women voted for Democrats, and instead of saying, "hmm, maybe we should try to rethink how not to alienate them," they're saying, "let's repeal their right to vote." Via @aselrod.bsky.social

Darren Brown was drawn to Florida by Brightline to be a part of something exciting, a new, fast train, privately owned, luxury on wheels. He was incredibly proud to be, as he called it, a “badass bullet train conductor.” Until the deaths started happening. 🧵

Time to focus on 2026. As a Floridian, that means we will be electing a new Governor. My friend @davidjolly.bsky.social deserves our support and our vote in both the primary and general elections. He understands the needs of Florida, AND HE CAN WIN!!! www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...

We Floridians are not made for this shock to the system!! (I’m not) ~55 degree drop in feels like temperatures. Humid Weekend heat index near 90. Blustery & Cold 30s Tuesday wake-up!

The bottom line is that the Supreme Court would be doing Republicans in Congress a big favor by taking away Toddler Trump’s Tariff Toy. They won’t stand up to him, and are hoping SCOTUS bails them out from the Mad King’s economy killing fuckery.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you! Next week's cold blast is going to be near historic for early November. The models are very aggressive and if they are right we may tie or break records set ~100 years ago. These are wind chills… 1/

🧊✈️ EVERGLADES‼️ 😬 Another Creepy White Avelo Jet™️ (tail: N803XT) is arriving to the Everglades Concentration Camp 🐊

The officers involved in this detention say they feel like a “newborn giraffe with wobbly legs” when conducting immigration enforcement because their training consists of a “one hour class online”. You can’t make this up.

It's the exact same ideology embraced by the elite enslavers before the Civil War: some people are better than others, and have the right-- and maybe the duty-- to rule. It was the Mudsill Theory then, and it's the Mudsill Theory today, dress it up in whatever elegant language you may.

Looking at the Federal Register this morning, DHS is moving up the effective date on a June rule that expanded its authority to charge people for certain criminal conduct around federal buildings. It was originally set to go into effect on January 1. It will now go into effect TOMORROW.

Yet #Florida environmental regulators never deny a single request to destroy a wetland, and "mitigation" measures routinely fail.

Here you have a Florida Fish & Wildlife officer detaining an individual who was fishing and admitting they have been directed to “check with immigration on anyone who gives us a passport and doesn’t appear to be a citizen”, which sounds a lot like racial profiling.

#Florida city commission fires city manager, apparently for telling code enforcement it would be OK to throw away political signs illegally posted on city rights-of-way. The 3-2 decision will cost the city $100K. www.tcpalm.com/story/news/l...

🧊✈️ THE OTHER FLORIDA CAMP 👉 An Eastern jet (Tail: N625SW) has arrived to the Lake City Concentration Camp dubbed "Deportation Depot" in Florida 👀

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

On the weekend millions lost SNAP benefits and saw their insurance premiums skyrocket, President Donald Trump proudly showed he doesn’t give a damn. My column on a Gatsby party, a marble bathroom and flaunted cruelty: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

This is what happens to parked vehicles belonging to people who are detained when called for routine appointments at the Miramar (and other) ICE processing centers. Their vehicles are often towed, which is a racket for the towing companies involved.

Researchers have connected neurotoxins from algal blooms to brain changes associated with an Alzheimer’s-like disease in dolphins in Florida. This connection does not bode well for human communities exposed to those same substances. www.popsci.com/environment/...

The shutdown is ultimately a legislative negotiation about a budget. Hard to resolve it when the controlling party in one part of Congress refuses to negotiate, will not re-open the House, is not in DC.
