Heartbroken to learn of the passing of my friend and mentor, former longtime Wake County commissioner Betty Lou Ward. Betty Lou touched countless lives in her decades of public service to Wake County residents. Improving the lives of people throughout the region truly was her passion, and the positive impact of her leadership on our lives will forever be part her great legacy. She will be deeply, deeply missed by many. dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/ral…

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the anniversary of the delayed but welcome news of freedom reaching the enslaved Black folks in Galveston, Texas. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope — and a reason to keep building a country that lives up to its highest ideals.

Right now, it’s more important than ever to make it known that Orlando will always be a city that prioritizes compassion and inclusion. We want every person who calls our city home to know that your city will always have your back.

So excited to see @CarlosGSmith has been awarded a prestigious 2023 David Bohnett Leaders Fellowship from @VictoryInst to attend the renowned Senior Executives in State & Local Leadership program at Harvard's JFK School of Government! As a 2018 Bohnett fellow and JKF alum, I know firsthand how superior this program is in making proven leaders even better. Perfect timing before we **Vote for Carlos as our next Florida State Senator from District 17!** #LeadOutLoud

@HusbandAndDad2 @DACJazz @Bwary_gifthorse @CarlosGSmith Again, Tom, I encourage you to read the primary sources above and draw your own educated conclusions. It’s been fun down here in the rabbit hole with you, but it’s time to move on to the matters of today. Best to you. Class👏 dismissed. 👏

You read that right. Florida Republicans are so drunk with power, emboldened by Ron DeSantis' fascist tendencies, that they have filed legislation to ABOLISH the Florida Democratic Party. If you're not worried about how far Florida has fallen, then you are not paying attention.

@HusbandAndDad2 @Bwary_gifthorse @CarlosGSmith If you were a student in my American History & Government classes, you’d know better by reading primary sources. Here’s the actual 1860 Republican Party platform: americanyawp.com/reader/the-sec… Fortunately, both parties have since evolved. Still much to do though. 🇺🇸

First track meet of the season! Proud papas 😎😎

@Bwary_gifthorse @CarlosGSmith Absolutely. But the bill’s author is implying that the Republican Party was anti-slavery, which it most certainly was not.

@GregFordFL @CarlosGSmith He was trying to hold the Union together. That’s called compromise. Obviously when it came down to it he made the right move.

@bjoewolf Uncomfortable Fact Check: The Republican Party opposed the *expansion* of slavery into new western states and territories. The party and Lincoln himself asserted that states where slavery already existed could remain slaveholding as they always had been.

If you see this ridiculous performance art as what you’re elected to accomplish, it’s clear you don’t take yourself, your job, or your constituents seriously.

Democrats in Florida lost by huge margins in 2022, now Republicans here want to eliminate the party

Yesterday I led the youth panel for the @lgbtqdems. I tried to shed light on the issues of youth inaccessibility for the @FlaDems, but I also proposed some items of action for the audience. Here is part of what I had to say:
