As part of a class project I'm going to be doing a weekly twitter space interviewing young organizers, elected officials and journalists in the state of FL.

I have two questions:

What should it be called?
Who should would you like me to interview?
Some names I have heard suggested:

-Sawgrass Roots
-The sandbar
-The Florida Reef / The Reef
-Orange Blossoms
-It's not a swamp, it's a river of grass
- Fire coral/ Fire coral chat
-Florida Organizers weekly brief
Suggest more below
The format is not totally set yet- it will probably expand beyond young people. It’s just I want to make sure young people are included in these conversations as we’re often not.
The State of our Sunshine Republic?

If “god will protect you from Covid so you don’t need a vaccine” why do you need a gun?

Yikes looks like pointing out this little thing called logic has really triggered some conservatives.

Funny how emotional the “f*ck your feelings” crowd can get when you point out basic logic.

They were literally chanting "hang mike pence", while wearing "Civil War" t-shirts and were armed. January 6th was an insurrection, do NOT let Republicans rewrite history. If we do, the next insurrection won't be unsuccessful.

Every conversation I have with friends including Republicans about how to start create a more representative, less corrupt system of government always comes back to the fact that we basically can’t do anything until we abolish the filibuster.
If you want people to lose faith in our republic- letting a rule that’s not even in our constitution stop us from passing laws the vast majority of Americans agree on is a great way of going about it.
Universal Background checks have 97% support but has a snowballs chance in hell at passing because the filibuster.

If 97% of us agree on something and we still can’t pass it- I think that’s a pretty good sign something needs to change.

If they don’t end the filibuster we should end their political career.

Tens of thousands of people are dying from gun violence every year that wouldn’t if we passed gun reform.

We need leaders make the choice to protect our republic and not the filibuster.
It’s time to get to work on future primaries in AZ and WV
And get more Dems in the senate that are for abolishing the filibuster

This decade will determine the course of the next century.

If we don’t do anything about global warming now billions will be displaced and millions will die from climate driven war, famine and disease.

If we don’t rebuild the crumbling pillars of our republic we will fall.
The worst part is it won’t be us that deals with the leathal impact of our generations inaction, it will be those who aren’t even alive yet. What world are we leaving them? It’s still up to us to decide.
There are enormous dangers but if we are strategic, steadfast and collaborative in our effort to leave the world better than we found it- there are unprecedented opportunities to reduce poverty, disease, war and leave a better world for the next generation.

It’s deeply disturbing how romanticized armed conflict is here.
I don’t understand how people can immediately go to “well we always just start killing each other” -which is what you’re saying when talking about taking up arms- as your go to answer. War is horrible and is probably the closest thing to actual hell on earth.
You don’t need to be in war to know it’s bad- you can read any book from those who’ve been in it or talk to them. The real losers are the civilians that get caught in the middle and become millions of refugees. War has horrific human costs.

War should never be your go to answer
