1/ #BrevardCounty, FL schools is facing a $100 million lawsuit for it's life-saving mask mandates issued in the face of threats by Governor DeSantis and others. But, it looks like a conspiracy to commit fraud. 😬🧵
2/ Why did Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Brevard Sheriff Wayne Ivey, and State Atty Phil Archer denounce the "feds" talking about the @FBI and @TheJusticeDept in a shocking press conference?
Full video link:
3/ Also in this conference, State Rep. Randy Fine, and Dr. Jeffery Steel claiming Steel's 7 yr old step-daughter had suffered abuse as a result of wearing a covid mask. Rep Fine promised a "special place in hell" for those responsible.
Full video link:
4/ Anti-mask Dr. Steel used the publicity to raise over $100k on a Christian knock-off of GoFundMe called GiveSendGo based on these false claims. It appears to still be active, but it has not raised any more money recently. Here's the link:
5/ "A 35-page report released this week(Dec. 3) by Indian Harbour Beach police contradicts many of the details of Steele's story, including allegations of child abuse."
6/ "The report also showed that the photos that Steel used to broadcast the episode were staged by him and his wife days later based on her recollection of the event, according to metadata embedded in the pictures."
7/ Randy Fine and The Mom's For Liberty are closely connected. During the COVID surge he did all he could to prevent mask mandates while peddling vouchers to private schools that did have mandates.
8/ His campaign of terror directed at School Board Member Jennifer Jenkins, who defeated Mom's For Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich in 2020, is also very well documented at length:
It's been so prolifically bad that he's under criminal investigation for it. But there's much more to Randy Fine's corruption. He is the k-12 Appropriations Chair, Gaming Committee Chair, and he's Vice Chair for redistricting aka #Gerrymandering
10/Phil Archer has documented history of not prosecuting crimes involving his racist or political friends, including Former Seminole County Tax Collector Joel #Greenberg. But there's much more in our next slide...
Thread 🧵 1/ How Trump can still go to jail and not be president: 1) Merchan locks him up, and Hochul does not pardon him. 2) Democrats force a vote in congress to remove Trump's disqualification for office, and then vote against removing it.
#14thAmendment
#LockHimUp
2/ In November 2023:
"The court found that, “Petitioners have established that Trump engaged in an insurrection on January 6, 2021 through incitement, and that the First Amendment does not protect Trump’s speech.”

#HurricaneMilton did plenty of damage on land, but it's underreported how much TOXIC water pollution every hurricane creates in Florida and floods into the ocean. Sewage, toxic waste, farm runoff, yard chemicals...After 25 years of Republican "rule", our lakes, rivers, estuaries, and nearshore waters are in a state of unmitigated toxic death.
#DemandCleanWaterFL
2/ These are 4 threads that cover a lot of it. Great reading for any environmentalist, journalist, candidate or elected official, or just if you like fishing and are wondering wtf is wrong with Florida.
3/ The problem with Florida's waters are myraid. Developments in wetlands where they flood are just the tip of the floating turd. When they flood, household and construction chemicals of every kind are mixed in with all the plastics and debris that get washed into the river.
Thread 🧵 1/
James Okeefe claims to have infiltrated the #DNCConvention wearing a disguise where he secretly filmed attendees, and says he is about to "expose" Democrats using the hash tag #DNCExposed. But who is he?
#ProjectVeritas
2/ Many people remember him as the Republican operative who "exposed" A.C.O.R.N. about 15 years ago, when he used a hidden camera and heavily edited video to smear a group of community organizers who were helping people register to vote. He was sued for that, and lost.
3/ But why did he target A.C.O.R.N.?
"Obama, in 1992 did some work for Project Vote, an arm of the group, and he frequently told voters during last year's presidential campaign that he understood their concerns because he had worked as a community organizer."

Despite what the press is erroneously saying, Trump was NOT legally eligible to vote in Florida when he cast his ballot the other day, because our state constitution prohibits it. So what happened?
2/ Election denier Cord Byrd is Florida's Secretary of State who oversees our elections. He has claimed on Florida's Dept of State website, that because Trump is eligible to vote in NY, that he can vote in Florida. This is false:
3/ Florida's Constitution is very specific about who is disqualified from voting. It makes NO EXCEPTION or deference to other states' laws. Article 6, Section 4 👇
Thread🧵 1/ James O'Keefe is the creator of #ProjectVeritas, and he has been sued, charged with crimes, and been under a federal investigation for his "journalism". So, right now he's f-ing around with @mcuban
and he's about to find out. Again.
#JimmyQueef
2/ "James Edward O'Keefe III (born June 28, 1984) is an American political activist who...uses deceptively edited videos and information gathering techniques to attack mainstream media organizations and progressive groups."
3/ "In 2020, The New York Times published an exposé detailing #ProjectVeritas's use of spies recruited by #ErikPrince to infiltrate "Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda".
1/ Short thread🧵
Florida's waterways are so dead and toxic, you can see it from space. If you've never seen how vast and interconnected florida's waterways are, you can't fathom how massive the problem is. It was not like this 25 years ago.

2/ If the midwest is America's bread basket, The Everglades Agricultural Area is it's sugar bowl. Sugar Farming in FL has destroyed hundreds of sq. miles of wetlands and estuaries, and their corruption is only outsized by the amount of subsidies they get.
3/ Phosphate mining is how chemical fertilizer is mass-produced. It involves strip mining, and creating gigantic toxic radioactive waste piles called "gyp stacks". #PineyPoint is a gyp stack. They want to use the waste to build #RadioactiveRoads.
