Florida has been controlled by the Republican Party for 30 years. Republican have run all 3 branches of government here in Florida for 3 decades. So serious question for my fellow Floridians…… If you are concerned with the homeowners insurance issues we have, the over development of our state, the rising cost of living, the education system not operating to the best of it’s ability, and the healthcare system deficiencies we have……. Why do you continue to elect the same people that led us here?

To everyone dismissing today’s No Kings rallies: Symbolism is not weakness. Symbolism is how movements announce themselves to history. Not everyone can file a lawsuit. Not everyone can run for office. Not everyone can break a story or fund a campaign. But two hours in the street says something that cannot be ignored: We are here. We are counting. We are watching. Philadelphia filled. Atlanta marched. DC is building now. This is not the beginning of the resistance. This is the resistance announcing its size. Trump dismissed the Women’s March. Trump dismissed the George Floyd protests. Trump dismissed every crowd that showed up before. Like retweet and comment so this message goes far and wide!

@AirFlawdaJordan I remember when they made the NIT during Sloan’s second tenure and I was ecstatic- it’s mind blowing for me to have this level of success.

When Florida hired Billy Donovan all we hoped for was to upset Kentucky every other year & make the NCAA Tourney. Winning the SEC or Natty wasn’t even a thought Look at us now. Billy’s name is on the court. We have the games next bright young coach. Natty’s. SEC’s. 6 Final Fours

President John F. Kennedy believed that one day this country would live up to its promise of justice and equal rights for all. For those beliefs and for his sacrifice, Congress voted to make The Kennedy Center a living memorial to him, as a place built by the people for the people to celebrate what connects us.  While this trespass on the People’s will is painful, President Kennedy would remind us that it is not buildings that define the greatness of a nation. It is the actions of its people and its leaders.  So, do not be distracted from what this Administration is actually trying to erase: our connection, our community, and our commitment to the rights of all.

Senate Democrats say they won't vote for ICE funding without reforms. Good. Now, we must negotiate hard. At least five demands must be non-negotiable before the bill comes to the House: 1. ICE and CBP leave Minneapolis and stops terrorizing American cities; 2. We get a full, independent investigation into the killings; 3. No more detaining and deporting U.S. Citizens; 4. The masks come off; 5. The mass arrest quotas and warrantless arrests end.

BREAKING: Donald Trump is erasing American history because he doesn’t like what it says. This is happening at Independence National Historical Park’s President’s House in Philadelphia, where exhibits on the people George Washington enslaved are being removed after Trump’s administration ordered reviews of content deemed to “disparage” America. It’s state-sanctioned amnesia. You don’t honor history by hiding it. This is what Putin does. This is what Hitler did.

@CBSMornings @landmanpplus Sorry we no longer watch See BS in our home

Ali Larter says auditioning for her role in @landmanpplus was an intense, months-long process that included three auditions and a screen test against 10 other actors. She said the experience nearly burned her out, leaving her so raw that she reached a point where she “almost didn’t care” anymore.

Here’s what happened. With Scott Stricklin in tow, the big boosters basically cornered Billy Napier after 2024 and told him to hire an offensive coordinator. Napier said no. So the message back to him was clear. Go 9-3, or you’re fired. So here we are. Stubborn, stupid, whatever you want to call it— Billy Napier had every available opportunity to course correct. Forget the unprecedented resources at his disposal. He was given a lifeline after that four-game winning streak to finish 2024, and the man simply refused to take it.

It ain’t September 21st till you see this on your timeline

Today, our country feels leaderless. The temperature is rising, anger is boiling over, and truth itself feels fragile. But here’s the truth: each of us can step into that absence. Each of us, in our own way, can be the kind of leader this moment demands. Call it pastoring, call it tending, call it guiding whatever word resonates. Real leaders don’t bully or extort. They don’t pit us against each other. They listen. They allow silence. They speak truth. They hold space for grief and for hope. And every single one of us is capable of that kind of leadership right now, in our own lives.

@halehawk Sending healing energy your way!

Two bones. Three cracks. Surgery done. Eight weeks to heal..Sigh.

@SEVHistory Pet peeve of mine as well.

Why do people need to say things like "As a 6th generation Floridian..." That's so self important, yet ultimately meaningless. Does it get you an extra biscuit at Cracker Barrel or something. Why would I care or believe you. Do people in other states do this?

@SEVHistory That’s rough. History seems easier.

So far, one brewery is out of business, a retail store is "having to move", a business name change, and I misnamed an old TV show. Sigh.

Florida’s last Civil War veteran, Bill Lundy, poses with a jet fighter, 1955.

@jenafish17 I said Auburn before but Kentucky might be better

Your picks for Florida’s three SEC opponents: Georgia, Tennessee, and __________? (And yes, I realize there’s a debate about Tennessee, but there shouldn’t be.)
