Judge #AileenCannon’s surprising dismissal of #Trump’s #criminal case in #Florida could jeopardize not just future special counsels but ANY federal prosecutor or senior ofcl serving in a temporary position.
#DOJ ofcls & #legal experts share that concern.

"Several large American #publishers sued #Florida…over a state law that prohibits sexual content in school #libraries. They argue that the law has ignited a wave of book removals in violation of the #FirstAmendment."

PS: This is one of the rare occasions when I side with publishers in a lawsuit. (FYI, see the next post in this thread for the last time this happened.) This is a case in which the interests of publishers, authors, and readers align.

Our voter assistance hotline has been ringing off the hook with #Florida's Puerto Rican voters making plans to vote. 👀👀
Calls spiked 325% in just two days.
And that's (833) 868-3352, available in English, Spanish, and Haitian Creole
Lawmakers in at least seven states are filing more than a dozen bills to expand abortion access.
Some were introduced in direct response to ProPublica’s reporting on the fatal consequences of abortion bans.
What idiots. 🤦🏻♀️

As the incoming Trump administration pushes back against water fluoridation, several #Florida communities are already abandoning the long public health practice.
What's this?
Orange juice for one cent?
These are #Canadian shelves, and these are #American products
This is at a Loblaws in #Ontario, photo taken on Monday
#Canada retailers pretty much have to give #USA products away as Canadians #boycott the #US and #Trump's bellicose verbal diarrhea and #tariffs
#Florida #citrus growers: you voted for this
(ps:
the food banks don't have any room for this juice, because so much unsold American food is already going to the food banks)
I think it's time for a re-introduction!
Hello fediverse! I am an admin for Veganism.Social, VoIP engineer, sim-racer with @ethixracing, gamer, foodie, and long-time ethical vegan. I'm originally from South Florida, but now living in the Orlando area as of 2020. I'm usually not a very social person, but I'm trying to change that! I want to make a difference in the world, and one person cannot do that alone, so connecting with others is essential.
My political and ethical views are all centered around equality, compassion, and environmental protection. I am anti-capitalist, but I also understand that it's impossible in the current state of society to avoid participating in it. So I try to make the best decisions I can with the options given to me in order to minimize the harm it causes.
Humans and animals all over the world are facing troubling times, and thinking about it has taken a massive toll on my mental health. Now, I am trying to focus my efforts on things that I can change, rather than spreading myself too thin and not helping at all. This doesn't mean I'm ignoring all of the other suffering, but simply trying to prioritize based on what is within my reach.
Thank you for taking the time to read, and if you feel like we have something in common, give a follow! I look forward to meeting like-minded individuals and organizations that seek to make the world a better place!
For a bit more info about myself and my sim-racing efforts, check out this interview I did with @veganeasy last year.

I can't believe I'm only just now hearing about this. #MarcyRheintgen, a young transwoman from Illinois came to #Florida and, in a planned act of #CivilDisobedience, flouted the #trans bathroom ban by entering a women's bathroom inside the State Capitol and simply washing her hands. She was arrested on the spot and has been charged with 11 months in a men's prison.

Have you looked into the MIRROR LATELY? YOU ARE #OBESE!
IN REALITY you have 2 MINUTES of fight in you UNTIL EXHAUSTED??
4 STARs?? ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
YOU SHOULD BE SUSPENDED FROM DUTY UNTIL YOU BRING YOUR WEIGHT DOWN under the acceptable OBESITY weight CHART limits!
Then hopefully 5 stars is what you should be 🔫 shooting for! Not #Incitement!
What type of Example are you portraying to your fellow officers as their #LEADER? NO LESS?
ALSO, This Type of Language you are using as an OFFICER Chartered to 🆘 #PROTECT AND 🆘 #SERVE the General Public CAN ONLY #INCITE_VIOLENCE?
In FACT the same LANGAUGE #White_Supremacists! USED! >> Jan 6 comes to mind..
🚔 YOU ARE ACTUALLY A DISGRACE TO OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN #LAW_ENFORCEMENT WHO ARE RISKING THEIR LIVES DAILY!
🚔 THIS IS NOT appropriate Language to #CIVILIANS as a #Professional? ON OUR DIME AKA 🇺🇸 TAX DOLLARS!
What you should be doing besides #Dieting and 24/7 #Tread_Mills >> is to make sure your officers DO NOT USE #UNNECESSARY_FORCE 💪 against #CIVILIANS >> should be your number #1 #Priority!!
Honestly?? INTIMIDATION can only INCITE VIOLENCE. Are you all Morons here in #Florida taught by your #Cracker_Jack Parents or were you all just #born that way.. DUH!

Fantastic turnout today No Kings March, Palm Beach Gardens. Probably 2000 people or so both sides of busy highway, very inspiring in the brutal 32.5C heat/high RH. Only 2 MAGAt problems, big black oversized trucks w big wheels (always trouble, those) speeding past, yelling, flipping off. If police weren't there, they may well have run into the crowd. My 89 yr. old father, USMC vet was with 👍🏽. Carlin Park run this morn., before, so taxing for me. #nokings #florida #running #birds

BREAKING: Supreme Court *denies* #Florida’s emergency request to let it implement a law barring undocumented immigrants from entering the state. There is no written opinion. No noted dissents.
My new crackly pot inspired another blog post because 500 characters just isn't enough.
"The cracks have a beautifully raw quality, like a dried lake bed or elephant skin. They’ve come to feel like a map of this place: a visual echo of our fractured geology, our sinkhole-prone foundation, our porous aquifers and eroding coasts. The fragility of the sig surface mirrors the fragility of the land itself."

Kat Cammack, a Florida Republican, struggled to get care for an ectopic pregnancy due to her state’s abortion ban.
Is she fighting to change the ban? Talking about those who’ve lost their lives?
No. She’s blaming the left. Saying it’s pro abortion “fear mongering” that caused the delay.
She’s blaming the very people who’ve been trying to save her & those like her.
Her delay was caused by healthcare workers fearing criminal prosecution.
They can’t intervene until it’s clear the life of the mother is in jeopardy.
It’s a horribly difficult judgment call no healthcare worker should ever be forced to make.
Shame on Kat for not taking her experience and using it to save lives.
