Just tried to get into a Ron Desantis press event in Miami and they literally had military personnel with FL Department of Law Enforcement documents with my photo and information waiting to stop me. This how terrified Ron Desantis is of criticism.
Here is a video of military personnel and police reviewing documents with my picture and information after they stopped me from entering a tax payer funded Ron Desantis press conference.
This is after police detained me at another publicly funded Ron Desantis press conference after my information was shared by state law enforcement. They refused to give me a reason and turned off their body-cams against department policy.
At that same event in which I was detained, police trespassed me without giving me reason but public records we obtained shows they targeted me for my past criticism of Ron Desantis. I never actually attempted to go in the Desantis event and did nothing to merit being detained.
Here are public records we obtained showing how FL Dept of Law Enforcement labels me a “known agitator” and shares my info to target me for my criticism of Ron Desantis. We are suing for more records and have some already that we will release soon. Follow me for updates.
After military personnel blocked our access, police told us that as media we had to go across the street to a made up “media staging location” despite us being in a public access. We knew our rights so we did not comply. Video via @grantstern.

Horrific conditions detailed to us by family members of those detained in the Everglades detention camp:

The humidity is intolerable, and the fluorescent lighting is on all day and night. The air conditioning is turned off during the day for five hours.
Those detained often have as little as two minutes to eat. Some have thrown up because the food is expired.
They take people’s Bibles. They don’t have medicine for detainees, for example asthma inhalers. We are hearing of multiple severe medical incidents inside the center.

Got footage from inside this event. They admit the bill is “100% meant to scare” immigrants and beg the crowd to “urgently” convince “your people” to not leave Florida since folks in the agriculture industry are mad workers are leaving. The hypocrisy is so brazen and disgusting.
There you have it. The same scumbag politicians who voted for this anti-immigrant crap admit they did so to scare people from coming to Florida while also begging immigrants in a church to talk to their community so they don’t leave and keep working here. It’s all so disgusting.

The backlash against DeSantis’ new anti-immigrant law in Florida is growing. Latino truckers are refusing to drive into the state and worksites are struggling with labor shortages. The state is being ruined by a racist governor who only cares about his presidential aspirations. ImageImageImageImage

The wife of Randy Fine, same Florida Republican who stated allowing children to attend “Drag Queen Storytime” is child abuse and who is sponsor of a bill that bans drag shows, participated in a burlesque show for a sexually charged fundraiser for children.

Randy is also a secret Disney enthusiast who pretends otherwise. I’m not a fan of Disney due to their poor treatment of workers but if you like their cruises, all good, just admit it and don’t make excuses based on some bullshit culture war against “wokeness.”
I don’t have any problem with drag events or burlesque shows. If you enjoy Disney cruises, all good. I don’t live my life in a never ending moral panic but I share to show that Fine and other Republicans don’t care about children. They are just hateful bigots and hypocrites.

Some really awful bills moving through the Florida Legislature this week including a six week abortion ban (SB300) being heard March 28th at 8:30am in the Fiscal Policy Committee.
The expansion of the Don’t Say Gay law that will be heard on the House Floor this week. Call your State House Representative and tell them to vote no on HB1069.
A union busting bill that targets public sector unions will be heard in the Senate Floor this week. Contact your State Senator and ask that they vote no on SB256.

Some truly awful bills were heard in the Florida Legislature last week. They include HB 1, a handout to millionaires and a $4 billion corporate giveaway of public school money to unaccountable charter schools designed to defund public education in the state.
SB 494 would allow landlords to charge perpetual, nonrefundable fees instead of a one time refundable security deposit. It’s obviously meant to squeeze cash out of desperate renters and is being pushed by out of state special interest groups.
SB 256, a union-busting bill that decertifies public sector unions with less than 60% membership while also making automatic dues deduction illegal for public sector unions. It’s meant to undermine workers’ ability to collectively bargain and fight for better wages and benefits.
