Rubio hasn’t had a real job since he babysat his brother-in-law’s cocaine stash house in 1985. His sugar daddy, Miami car oligarch and former Philadelphia Eagles owner Norman Braman, financed his entire political life and even bought him a teaching job at FIU. #BecauseMiami

Florida @GovRonDeSantis recommendation for new Education Commissioner @SenMannyDiazJr is VP at state’s largest for-profit charter school company, accused of being a "pervert" and "inappropriate teacher" by former students at Hialeah Miami Lakes High School miamiherald.com/news/local/edu…
“Manny Diaz has done a great job in the Legislature on education issues ranging from teacher pay to parental rights and choice. I am confident that he will serve our state well as the Commissioner of Education." — @GovRonDeSantis, April 21, 2022 flgov.com/2022/04/21/gov… Image
Florida ranks lowest for education spending: @SenMannyDiazJr colluded with @ErikFresenFL (in-law of his charter school employer) to give charters more money with less accountability. Fresen went to jail for not filing a tax return during 8 years in office. miamiherald.com/news/local/edu…

This is why buildings fall in Miami: @MayorDaniella supports and @MiamiDadeBCC approves ANOTHER extension to airport contract with MCM, the bankrupt construction company — owned by @RepCarlos's wife's cousin — behind the FIU bridge collapse that killed 6 people #BecauseMiami /1
Here are the Miami-Dade Commissioners who voted yesterday in favor of the airport contract extension for collapsed FIU bridge builder MCM, disrespecting the victims and families of this tragic act of deadly negligence: District 2 Commissioner Jean Monestime #BecauseMiami /2
Commissioner “Pay 2 Play" @KeonHardemon’s former chief of staff now works for MCM! So, of course, he voted yes. And, as everyone in town knows, Keon and his political crime family will do anything and sellout anyone if the price is right. #BecauseMiami /3

Jury orders Miami-Dade School Board @MDCPS to pay $6 million to former student of ex-Palmetto High creative writing teacher Jason Edward Meyers, accused of harassing and sexually abusing a string of female students #BecauseMiami: miamiherald.com/article2547451… Image
“The verdict found Meyers ‘posed a substantial risk of sexual abuse or harassment to female students,’ yet the @MDCPS district was ‘deliberately indifferent’ in how it handled the accusations.” #BecauseMiami
The lawsuit claimed that the principal and administrators at Michael M. Krop High were notified in 2008 and 2011 that Meyers was having sex with underage students, but no investigation was done — instead, he was transferred to Palmetto in 2011. #BecauseMiami
