Just in: That Minneapolis cop illegally voted in Florida elections in 2016 and 2018, a third degree felony. He has more charges coming to him.
- Just came to my attention that a Muslim woman arrested in a Miami protest last week had her hijab removed & was forced to take a mugshot without it. That was later broadcast and posted online. I'm taking off my reporter hat here: this is an inexcusable violation of her rights.
- Ace Hardware has an unconventional business model in the US. The stores are independently owned purchasing cooperatives.. so the stores are all owned locally, but they buy in bulk together. Unlike Home Depot, its profits stay in the neighborhood, not extracted by shareholders.How does Ace Hardware stay in business? 15% higher than Lowe’s and Home Depot while having nothing you need in stock
- All that sand is imported.. The shoreline was already totally washed away in the 1970s. The feds (under Carter) had to step in and spend millions on "beach renourishment" to protect the condos and resorts. Miami Beach is a sandbar.
GIF - BREAKING: Florida AG just sent this letter to the FBI and Florida Department of Law Enforcement asking them to look into "potential violations of election law." Bloomberg's effort to pay off fines and fees of people w/ felony convictions is the target.
- Replying to @TooMuchMeHer brother is circulating this petition asking for accountability from the @MiamiPD. The mere existence of her mugshot without a hijab is evidence of a human rights violation, according to federal and state laws.
- Replying to @TooMuchMeThis is very bad. Don't do this. Not at the airport for the TSA, not anywhere. This is a fundamental human right: the right to exercise religion. This even applies when you are in police custody.
- What people who don't live in Florida do not understand is that it is not about the beaches eroding. It is about gravity-based drainage systems not functioning because the tides are higher. Water comes *in* now. Your city starts drowning from the inside, not the coastline.
- It's flown under the radar, but a thing happened on Tuesday: Black candidates won every countywide race in Florida's second most populous county, Broward County. That's sheriff, state attorney, public defender, clerk of courts, and supervisor of elections.
- Replying to @TooMuchMeI would also like to go on the record as saying the Washington Post article that is cited was incredibly sloppy reporting. It suggests the effort will only help Black and Latino would-be voters. FRRC's fund is not denying white applicants.
- Fort Lauderdale today, three days after the floods started. Residents have lost everything and are frankly pretty angry. More rain expected tomorrow.

Day three of Fort Lauderdale floods. Residents of Edgewood tell me no services have been here at all. "You're the first one to ask us if we need anything," resident Steve Allen told me. - Day three of Fort Lauderdale floods. Residents of Edgewood tell me no services have been here at all.

- When Jesus said "love thy neighbor" he really meant wear a crown of bullets and brandish an AR-15 while worshipping himWorshippers clutching AR-15 rifles and some wearing bullet crowns, participated in a commitment ceremony today at World Peace and Unification Sanctuary, in Newfoundland, Pa. The event led a nearby school to cancel classes for the day. Photos @jacquelinelarma
