FL voters! Amendment 3, the property tax amendment, is a rush job, the “kind of decision we usually regret, like a drunk text or a bad karaoke video.” Here’s the catch: Amend. 3 doesn’t make the cost of local government disappear. It changes who pays for it. edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dyn...

I love this! 🏳️‍🌈 I love it even more because it's in Florida. Don't tell the governor. 👀 @stpetefl on IG #Pinks #ProudBlue

Here’s my piece on the “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act in @thenation.com The VRA is the most important piece of legislation in American history. It more than anything is what ended American-style apartheid. And now Republicans have killed it.

Beautiful. I was walking down North Shore Park by Tampa Bay in St. Pete this week and snapped this pic of the stately white pelicans who hang with us in the winter.

We live in the stupidist timeline. The Pope said that war is bad so Trump posted a rant saying the Pope is weak on crime & then posted a picture of himself as Jesus. Then this morning the Pope said he wasn't intimidated & the Iranian President (who we are at war with) tweeted support of the Pope.

I am listening to Ron Desantis talk about elections as he is about to sign a new voter suppression law. He is every bit as unhinged as Trump. Amazingly unhinged. As soon as he stops rambling and signs this bill, Florida will be sued. Stand by....

“‘They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…’ One can’t help but wonder who’s going to be left to clean up the mess made by Trump and his enablers.” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-iran-h...

I’m part of the St. Pete #NoKings protest picture seen here in the Tampa Bay Times. Well, my legs are seen here anyway.

Thank you for making No Kings 3 the biggest day of mass protest that America has ever seen. #NoKings

No member of Congress should allow the Trump administration and this lawless paramilitary squad to continue stomping on our rights and terrorizing our communities. They have endangered everyone in America. Call your Senators to DEFUND ICE. Info, numbers, and scripts @ 5calls.org

St. Petersburg, Florida No Kings

Infuriating. The FDOT provides no proof that street art is a distraction to drivers. Taxpayer dollars were not used to create the art. This is yet another attempt to wipe out any signs of diversity, inclusion, and history of anyone who isn’t a straight, white male. stpetecatalyst.com/state-bans-p...
