Recently convicted Proud Boys leaders Enrique Tarrio & Joe Biggs have also sported the RWDS (Right Wing Death Squad) logo. Biggs has it tattooed on his arm. The Allen, Texas shooter was apparently wearing a RWDS patch. 
Roger Stone’s longtime assistant Jacob Engels has sported the RWDS (Right Wing Death Squad) logo, just like convicted Proud Boys leaders Enrique Tarrio and Joe Biggs (close associates of Stone) and the Texas shooter. h/t @JenCousinsFL #flapol #CultureOfViolence
Poetic Justice that Andrew Gillum was exonerated on the day that Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was convicted. It was Tarrio who worked w/ Jacob Engels (Roger Stone’s longtime assistant) to take down Gillum after Gillum ran for Florida Governor in 2018. 1/ #FlaPol
The more I think about it the more I am convinced there is the same existential threat posed to @RonDeSantisFL by the @Disney lawsuit as there was to Fox & Tucker Carlson by the Dominion action.

Why?
Because @RonDeSantisFL made fighting Disney central to his re-election campaign and his political operation writ large.
This makes the entirety of the DeSantis re-election vulnerable to discovery.

AGAIN: A couple in Broward County said they were shot at after they went to the wrong address to deliver Instacart groceries. The couple said police told them there would be no repercussions for the shooter because no Florida laws were broken. #flapol wfla.com/news/florida/f…
Florida’s Shoot First laws (aka, Stand Your Ground) allow people to shoot to kill - even when they can safely walk away from danger. Recently, @RonDeSantisFL signed a permitless carry law that will further endanger Floridians - especially Black people. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
Florida police say the shooter was “justified” in opening fire on these teens. nbcmiami.com/news/local/cou…

Zev & E. Garland are the ones who started this whole Chuck Johnson “reinvention” dangerous folly. IMO, Zev was vulnerable to undue influence 4 a variety of rzns. Under CJ’s guidance, he has made serious, unsubstantiated claims about a pro-Democracy advocate. He ruined himself. 1/

@RonDeSantisFL To be clear, there are also guides for Donald Trump and Joe Biden, among others. There is also a Kids Guide to the Reagan Revolution.
@RonDeSantisFL From the website: "It’s no secret that Ron DeSantis has the potential to make it to the White House. Even before he became Florida’s beloved governor, he’s demonstrated incredible leadership."
Permitless carry - widely opposed by police - would remove Florida’s background check and safety training requirements. Florida doesn’t require background checks on unlicensed sales so this may be the only background check a person has before getting a gun.orlandosentinel.com/politics/os-fl…
This would enable people who currently cannot get a permit to carry hidden, loaded handguns in public, including violent criminals. Under current Florida law, people recently been convicted of violent misdemeanor crimes can’t get a concealed weapon license.
And teens. Florida law requires a person to be 21 years old to get a concealed weapon license. Under permitless carry, people as young as 18 years old could carry guns throughout Florida. 18 to 20-year-olds commit gun homicides at triple the rate of adults 21 years and older.
Today, the @FLGOPMajority and @FLSenateGOP @FLSheriffs announced PERMITLESS CARRY here in #Florida, flanked by special interest groups like @CarryInFlorida and @NRA.
As a @MomsDemand volunteer, let me tell you the TRUTH ABOUT PERMITLESS CARRY.

As a @MomsDemand volunteer, let me tell you the TRUTH ABOUT PERMITLESS CARRY.
🧵
#flapol
Florida’s concealed weapon license requires training on how to carry firearms responsibly in public. Permitless carry would strip away this critical safety component.
So yes, @SheriffIvey our families, children will be less safe in public.
So yes, @SheriffIvey our families, children will be less safe in public.
Permitless carry legislation allows concealed firearms in public places without a permit, criminal history check, or safety training, dismantling Florida’s system of responsible gun ownership.
@Paul_Renner wants you to believe none of that will happen, when it is FACT.

In 2012, Liberty County, a rural dixiecrat part of N FL, elected NPA Nick Finch as Sheriff. Finch was part of the emerging far-right constitutional sheriff movement
He'd only get 6% in 2016 - his saga is below

I will summarize. Finch worked to help a man keep guns he did not have a license for. This actually led to Rick Scott suspending him for a time in 2014
Finch would eventually be reinstated - but the man he helped would shoot and kill a man in 2016
And that tanked him

While Eddie Joe White would return Liberty to the Democrats (granted a very conservative democrat) - that would only last one term. In 2020, Liberty elected local republicans for the first time in its history
This from 2018 is WACKED. The Sheriff of Broward County was Sheriff Israel who was very close w/ Roger Stone. What did these miscreants do in Broward County??? Broward is the county they did NOT want recounted. @TheJusticeDept #flapol 1/
In the video, Ali says the Broward “sheriff’s Dept called in a bomb threat, when they knew it wasn’t a bomb threat.” Per Ali the “suspicious package” was “fake ballots.” He says “Israel’s deputies” called in the supposedly fake bomb threat. TY to @gal_suburban 4 sending to me. 2/
Anything involving Sheriff Israel, Roger Stone, & Ali Alexander is suspect. Why were they so afraid of the recount in Broward???? 3/
In a memo sent earlier this month, the office of @GovRonDeSantis has asked the presidents of all the state's public universities to provide information on any services they provide "to persons suffering from gender dysphoria."
#FlaPol
#FlaPol
@GovRonDeSantis The memo was sent by Chris Spencer, DeSantis' director of budget and policy. "The universities are to ensure responses do not contain personally identifiable information or protected health information and are provided in an aggregated and de-identified format."
@GovRonDeSantis Their responses are due by Feb. 10. And I need to correct: the memo actually was sent to the universities' board of trustees chairs. In his memo, Mr. Spencer notes that state universities are under the executive branch of state government.
33/ I wonder what Greenberg told prosecutors about the #StopTheSteal effort in 2018, which stopped the recount in the races won by DeSantis & Rick Scott… Were bogus third party candidates involved? Were election officials or others bribed & paid w/ crypto to stymie the recount?
34/ This happened during the height of convicted crypto criminal Joel Greenberg’s tenure at the tax collector’s office in Florida. Did he help fund any aspect of this effort? link.medium.com/7WxYzCjGMvb
35/ Now I get it.
Wow. A great article on Eryka Gemma who reportedly gave the 1776 Returns document to indicted Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio. Seems she’s a crypto queen & may also have been Tarrio’s girlfriend. Per post 2, she protested outside Marco Rubio’s house with Tarrio & Roger Stone. 1/

There’s just something about Ronny (DeSantis). firstcoastnews.com/article/news/l…
Several weeks back, I wrote about Ron DeSantis appointing a white Republican to replace a black Democrat on the Gadsden County Commission.
Gadsden is the lone maj-black county in FL
Well last month, Democrats took back the seat in the elections.

Gadsden is so Democratic that this election marks the first time this century that Republicans have even bothered to run for office there. After DeSantis' appointee resigned, the GOP replacement was always an underdog #flapol
The vote for this seat, like past races for it, was heavily racially polarized. White voters around Havana backed more while the heavily black west end voted for Simpkins - who also notably won white Quincy (which tends to be a swing vote) #flapol
