Gov. DeSantis would rather collaborate with foreign dictators while throwing due process out the window, than actually help Floridians. He wants you to foot the bill for his power grab while he breaks up our beautifully diverse communities. It’s shameful.

Florida Politics said it plan and simple. I work as the Orlando city Grants Manager. I commute to work on the bus, and am focused on fixing Central Florida’s public transit.

After the USDA Secretary announced that assistance would be disbursed today, the Trump administration is reportedly going to require everyone to reapply to receive SNAP benefits. This will undoubtedly lead to longer delays as food banks run out of food. This is an emergency, and

Existing in this country shouldn’t depend on political loyalty. Silencing naturalized citizens for their views isn’t democracy — it’s authoritarianism.
Democrats got us so focused on illegal immigration, that we weren’t focused on “legal” immigrants who don’t share our values and hate America. Zohran Mamdani is a prime example. Any immigrant that lied about their loyalty to America during the citizenship process should be

Now is the moment to be bold. If our elected officials truly appreciate the contributions that Hispanics have made to this community, they should stand with us.

In the wise words of Lady Gaga, I’m “born this way” What a pleasure to join so many in celebrating Orlando Pride today. LGBTQ+ people deserve a Florida that recognizes us and celebrates us. That’s what I’m fighting for everyday. @OrlandoPride #comeoutwithpride #orlandopride

Today is #NationalComingOutDay — a day to honor the courage it takes to live openly and love fully. I grew up in Brazil knowing I was different. When I came to the U.S. at 14, undocumented and scared, survival became my focus. Being LGBTQ+ was something I hid — even from myself.

Tomorrow, October 11, is National Coming Out Day - a day that honors the courage it takes for our LGBTQ+ community to live openly, speak our truth, and be seen for who we are. Visibility is a critical part of our continued fight against marginalization and oppression, and I

When a hurricane inedibly hits Florida this year, we will be $30 Million less prepared because of Republicans. Less money for relief from flooding, for temporary shelter, or for food. All so that DeSantis can kiss the ring of Trump by committing human rights violations.
Florida taxpayers are starting to pay the bills on the immigrant prison camp the DeSantis administration built in middle of the Everglades. The Governor's Office has approved nearly $30 million in payments to 'Alligator Alcatraz' contractors over the past 10 days:
