Hiding data, using vaccines to repay political favors and as political tool, actively making it harder for working class, immigrants, blacks and Latinos to get the vaccines. He was elected to govern the state, not to kill us!
I caught Ron Desantis at his press conference and called him out on giving vaccines to his rich donors while the average Floridian is struggling to get one. 30,000 Floridians died under Desantis and he is using vaccines as a political tool. Of course Desantis ran away from me.

They roll on the mud solely to hold on to power. Doing the right thing: strict gun control, shoul not be this hard.

Children, teachers, aids, assistants, bus drivers, janitors, administrative personnel, and their families are all connected to families and people at higher risks. If the freedom of a few can kill and risk many, then it’s not such a great thing.

2 of 2. It must feel pretty nice not having to worry, but the fact is that a lot of people in your district are uninsured or have debilitating medical debt. Stop fear mongering. We are already paying 2-3 times as much as any developed country in the world for the worst outcomes!

@SheldonforRI
@DNC
Let's be clear: This is NOT the resolution we wanted. Condemning is NOT banning. Not even a motion, no discussion on the ban, and trying to recover democracy is not the same as saying “taking dark money is not nice.” Calling for disclosure is not the same as mandating it.
On top of being sanctioned, limited, persecuted, disrespected, and violated in the constant basis. No wonder we have a severe teacher’s shortage. Higher education in Florida is even worse, 70-80% of higher Ed faculty is adjunct, work in 2-3 places and make around 18k per year.
I can’t believe this is 4 years old already. It's as tangible a feeling now for me as it was then.I’m inspired, moved, shaken, and grounded by a long list of women in my life. Some who I know and some I don’t know personally.But all of them play music with the strings of my life.
