Redistricting guaranteed long term dominance. The governor rejected legislative maps, drew his own, and dismantled a Black access district protected by the constitution. The new maps delivered a supermajority disconnected from actual voter preferences and the courts approved it.

Universities were refashioned through aggressive board takeovers. New College became the test case. Leadership was fired, DEI dismantled, faculty pushed out, and programs erased. The goal was not improvement. It was ideological control of knowledge and culture statewide.

Florida’s transformation was not loud or dramatic. It happened thru quiet procedural shifts that removed guardrails & concentrated authority in executive. A swing state became a controlled state through routine actions that seemed normal at the time. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #ProudBlue #USDemocracy

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.
I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.
