Downtown Festival and Art Show! Tom Petty Weekend! Downtown Gainesville does it again …

And while it is of little comfort today, there is another election on the horizon and another after that. 4/4

I also know that many of you are more than bewildered, you are tired and hurt and frightened. I can’t tell you that I or anyone else can make it better, but I can tell you I will have your back in any way possible. I will listen. And Gainesville will continue to be Gainesville.3/

If you believe - as I do - that constitutions and charters and the “social contract” itself matter, that they are worth more than the paper they’re written on, then you have to listen to the people when they’ve made (all of) their choices. 1/

Hey, look, it’s Election Day! Make sure you’re in line by 7 PM. You know what to do. Make good choices, check on your people. @kamalaharris @DemMayors

In other news, I’ve been looking forward to this Florida Gator basketball season since March. I feel like Coach Golden has put us in a great position, and it was nice to see Clayton and Richard put up the big numbers this evening. Go Gators!

Not too sure that Republicans going from calling Puerto Ricans garbage to calling a woman garbage is the whiz-bang political chess move they think it is

Tuesday’s Assignment: To-do lists, not enemies lists; Joy, not fear; Neighbors, not enemies.

We might get some gusting winds and as much as three inches of rain, but none of that before Wednesday. It doesn’t seem like our area needs much additional prep, but you already know the drill regardless. Make good choices, check on your people. And vote on Tuesday 2/2

Looks like tropical storm Rafael is going to be a thing. It’s a reminder that we are not out of hurricane season. Know this: Not a single projection has this storm directly threatening Gainesville. 1/

Omg they did a male version of the ‘secret vote’ ad and it’s even better than the female version.
