On a mission to make ALL public transit in Miami-Dade County, FL ♿ accessible, but that requires campaign finance reform first!
🧵1/3 Here's the updated contributions from GL Homes to the @MiamiDadeBCC & @MayorDaniella. 252 contributions using approx 56 different names totaling $593.5K. $388.5K (65.5%) to current & $47K (7.9%) to those who resigned in 2025.
Around 9:30 pm last night, after working an 8 hour shift & using Metrorail & bus to commute, my husband got stuck in the middle of the @CityofMiami street. It hurt too much to stand & he couldn't get his wheelchair to move. He had to call kiddo & I to push him home! @commescalona

1/3 Not only do disabled & elderly people struggle using public transit in @CityofMiami, the pedestrian infrastructure is a nightmare! Missing & broken sidewalks, most not wide enough for wheelchairs, along with no curb cuts!
1/3 This was today just before 2 pm on @CityofMiami Trolley 2097, operated by the City & @GoMiamiDade paratransit (STS) contractor. Driver pulled far away from curb, only kneels upon request, pax had to help me board. Trolley not designed for wheeled mobility devices to be stored
I’ve spent nearly two decades in Florida politics building campaigns, crafting messages, and helping candidates earn the trust of voters across this magnificent, complicated, deeply misunderstood state. I’ve watched Florida drift. I’ve watched it stumble. And I’ve spent the better part of the last few years asking myself the same question a lot of Floridians are quietly asking: how can we restore decency, respect and a commitment to improve the lives of our families, friends and neighbors. Today, I have an answer. And his name is @davidjollyfl! @laurajollyfl floridapolitics.com/archives/79738…
Ulvert is a primary reason Democrats have been a non-entity in Florida since 1999. This political grifter is a cancer on the party and has profited from every loss. He, along with his puppets @MayorDaniella and @EileenHigginsFL, conspired to turn the Miami-Dade Commission red — by coronation NOT election.
To accommodate the new I-395 highway in downtown Miami, a Metromover pier will have to be relocated. These photos show the steel sheet piles put in place to begin work on the foundation for the new pier. FDOT tells me this pier is expected to be completed in Q1 2027. The guideway will be supported temporarily by falsework until the load is transferred to the new pier. Foundation work is a slow process because they can only operate while Metromover is offline for upgrades on Saturday mornings
I'm just extra frustrated b/c I have literally spent all my productive hours this week fighting with our Medicaid HMO over stupidity. They won't pay for my husband's wheelchair. They won't pay for my seizure meds. They refused to pay for my PAP & mammogram after approving. Etc.
My husband's wheelchair arrived last night. Within minutes of him leaving in it to go to work, he was sending me expletive filled videos b/c @CityofMiami refuses to make their pedestrian infrastructure walker & wheelchair accessible. Here's his rant & another video is below 👇

We took $129 meant to pay FPL to buy the wheelchair just so my husband can keep working. The Homeless Trust refused to help us get fully accessible housing so Medicaid refused to pay for a wheelchair which resulted in us having to apply for FPL assistance. Death by 1000 cuts.
Medicaid will not cover a new wheelchair b/c our apartment isn't fully wheelchair accessible, only walker workable. My husband works for a billionaire who doesn't pay taxes nor his workers enough to afford fully accessible housing &/or the medical devices they need to work.
