Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis diverted more than $35 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to defeat two ballot initiatives last year.
I’ve got the @miamiherald.com‘s blockbuster reporting on how DeSantis cheated needy Floridians and children from their already-earmarked funds.

The United States government is already waging war on its own citizens. Martial law will just be the official confirmation. Anyone who thinks that we can simply vote this regime out of power is willfully ignorant of the fact that the regime controls how votes are counted.

If ICE can threaten arrest for filming, then journalists, watchdogs, and protesters can all be silenced the same way. You don’t have freedom of the press if recording police is treated as terrorism. #holdfast
