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.
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. 
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: 
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."
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.
2/ It's a campaign finance violation to not have a "paid for by" disclaimer on campaign ads. Someone should look into that. "In 2006, the Florida Elections Commission fined him nearly $68,000 for 40 counts of "willfully" violating the election code."
2/ The migrant flights to Martha's Vineyard and California, likely broke many laws. Fraud, human trafficking, and misuse of COVID funds to name a few. 
2/ “...the (Joel Greenberg) investigation progressed from allegations [of] sexual activity to allegations of obstruction of justice.” However, the DOJ never charged [#Dorworth] with either crime—and he largely avoided the limelight."
2/ It's not just humpback whales, but NOAA declared an "Unusual Mortality Event" in 2017, and it is ongoing.
2/ Article from 2020, USA Today. 
2/ The big three sugar interests in the Everglades Agricultural Area are U.S. Sugar, Florida Crystals, and The Sugar Growers Cooperative. This thread will focus on Florida Crystals which is owned by the #Fanjuls, Pepe and Alfie, who are octogenarian refugees from Cuba.
