(THREAD) This article is from December. Since then, ex Key West mayor and #DeathSantis commission appointee Craig Cates has lost his wife and his 35-year-old daughter to COVID. All 3 got sick at a super spreader election party he hosted. 1/5 local10.com/news/local/202…
35-year-old Crystal Cates was being cared for at Jackson Memorial in Miami for 8 months. She had a double lung transplant on New Year's Eve. She passed away 2 weeks ago. Says fam friend, "Her father is a #DeathSantis Monroe County Commission appointee & has been silent about 2/5
COVID since losing his wife in December and still silent after just losing his daughter. She died a horrible death. I've known the family for 40 years and I have zero respect for him for not screaming from the rooftops about COVID after his wife's passing.If it were the other 3/5
way around, his wife would already have had a survivor's and awareness foundation and she'd be on every news show preaching about COVID safety and vaccines. Now his daughter is gone and he still hasn't publicly said a word and he's a fucking county commissioner and former 4/5
long time Key West mayor. It's infuriating."
Crystal Cates's birthday was yesterday. She would have been 36. "The Cates were decent folks but they were Republicans who loved Trump." RIP Cheryl and Crystal Cates and the other 38,395 Floridians who died preventable deaths.
5/5

.@benjaminwittes' tiny cannons were bigger than Trump's pitiful 21 gun salute. Meanwhile the (lack of) crowd at Andrews is completely the #TrumpCrimeFamily and assorted griters. Trump looks defeated and I've never seen Melania look so animated. #ByeFelicia #GTFO 🖕🖕🖕
THE...SPACE FORCE!

@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews Under your Turd Reich racist regime: Black Americans still continue to be concentrated in lower sector jobs, which do not have adequate healthcare or paid sick leave and have disproportionately exposed them to COVID-19. PPP from the Small Business Administration left Black
@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews businesses out in the cold. Over 90% of Black-owned small businesses that applied for PPP funding were denied. This has led to over 40% of Black-owned small businesses being shuttered during COVID-19. For many Black people, Trump’s law and order rhetoric and dismissal of the
@realDonaldTrump @BreitbartNews Movement for Black Lives unearths collective memories about his full-page advertisements in four New York newspapers including The New York Times, to crucify the now exonerated Central Park 5. In big, bold letters, Trump’s headline read: “Bring Back the Death Penalty.

This whole Matt Gaetz outing of his so-called secret 'son' is so on brand for the repulsive #FloridaMan, trying to convince people that he is not a repugnant racist who took a Holocaust denier as his plus 1 to the #SOTU, and that, look here, I have a brown helper--er, son, see?!
But, since Matty has now thrown his big reveal party for the entire American public, there are a few questions to be answered beyond those involving pool cleaning. That's just none of our biz. What we do want to know is, who is Maisbel Mendez, why did the Gaetz family buy her a
Beemer, why does she have the same Fort Walton Beach, FL address as Matty (and a mug shot too), and why was she involved in a 2016 court case against Nelson SENIOR in which she petitioned for 'concurrent custody by extended family"? Also, who is Marbelina Matos, who lives

First we muted it. Then we had to teach our kids what "grab her by the pussy" meant. Then we had to explain kids in cages. We explained why the white boys with tiki torches chanted "Jews will not replace us" while the "president" said there were 'very fine people on both sides.'
Then they learned what collusion, witch hunt, obstruction, impeachment & quid pro quo meant. They learned about real& fake news, learned about the murderous dictators that the "president" spoke so highly of & they learned about 'shithole countries.'They learned the word pandemic,
Covid-19, neither a hoax nor a flu, which has killed many of their friends' grandparents, aunts & uncles. Now they are learning more about the "president's" very fine people, a police officer supposed to protect them, who suffocated a black man with his knee as three others
