The playbook is clear: silence the voters, rig the maps, control the outcome. This is not just politics. It is a power grab. Floridians deserve fair maps, real representation, and a government that answers to the people—not the powerful.

Florida, don’t sleep. Texas just gutted fair representation with redistricting—and now Florida is eyeing the same playbook. This ain’t about fairness, it’s about control.

I served with @JimmyPatronis in the Florida House, and I’ve got to say — this move is as reckless as it is transparent. There’s no new population data to justify it, no real need, and no excuse for this blatant power grab. It’s undemocratic, unconstitutional, and gives a blank.
***STATEMENT ON REDISTRICTING*** . “I support a renewed redistricting effort for Florida. If Texas can do it, the Free State of Florida can do it 10X better. Also, ‘Fair Districts’ is unconstitutional because it violates freedom of speech AND elections are a states rights issue.

When the law becomes a weapon instead of a safeguard, no one is safe, not even those cheering it on. Power without restraint is the greatest threat to democracy.
"You got no rights here — you're an illegal, brother": 18-year-old U.S. citizen Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, born and raised in West Palm Beach, secretly recorded his false arrest by Florida Highway Patrol deputies and Border Patrol agent.

No one watching that video can justify what happened. A Black man with his hands up, and he still got punched in the face. We deserve answers, transparency, and accountability. Jacksonville, nor should anyone, look away.

They said this facility was for “the most vicious.” Instead, a 15-year-old boy ended up in an internment camp built by the state. No due process. No oversight. Just trauma. This is not justice, it’s government overreach at its worst.
Alligator Alcatraz isn’t meant for minors. A 15 year old ended up there anyway

As the men inside chanted “Libertad, libertad, libertad,” we were shown only what they wanted us to see. These are human beings, not props for a political show. I said it on @weeknightmsnbc because we can’t look away and call that justice.

They told you it was the “worst of the worst,” but that’s a lie. Detainees wear wristbands by offense. Red is serious. Yellow? That’s for traffic tickets. This is state-sponsored deception, and Floridians are paying the price.

The Governor says our lawsuit to inspect “Alligator Alcatraz” is dumb. What’s actually dumb?. Blocking lawmakers from doing our jobs. Turning a swamp into a secret prison. Thinking we’d stay silent while human beings suffer.
