Inaction from Florida House on ‘Vile’ Social Media Posts Against Muslims and Palestinians from GOP’s Randy Fine

November 26, 2021 | FlaglerLive | 24 Comments

In mid-August, an official complaint was filed in the Florida House of Representatives against Randy Fine, the Palm Bay Republican, for “hateful” and “atrocious” social media comments directed to Palestinians and Muslims, whom he’s called “monsters,” “terrorists,” and “rapists,” among other Islamophobic bigotries, on his social media platforms.

What happened four months after the first Thanksgiving, starting in March 1622 about 600 miles south of Plymouth, is far more reflective of the country’s origins – a story not of peaceful coexistence but of distrust, displacement and repression.

On Dec. 1, 2021, the court will hear a case many believe will force the conservative justices — who now command a majority of the court — to decide if they will strike down Roe v. Wade or uphold the long-standing precedent. But a third path could focus a ruling on a more neglected aspect of the ruling in Roe — the court’s understanding of the facts of fetal personhood.

A Central Florida judge on Monday exonerated Black men known as the “Groveland Four” who were accused of sexually assaulting a white woman in one of the most-notorious cases from the state’s Jim Crow era. All four have died. They were accused in 1949 by Norma Padgett, then 17, of Lake County.

Cars, SUVs and trucks can be an efficient means of mass killing such as the SUV attack of a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and one that can be virtually impossible to prepare against. Furthermore, it is becoming harder to prosecute the driver involved in such fatalities in some states.

Continuing to contrast his economic approach to the Biden White House–which ensured that Florida would get billions in Covid and infrastructure subsidies–DeSantis said the approximately 25-cent-a-gallon “gas tax relief” proposal could save the average Florida family up to $200 over a five- to six-month period, while reducing state revenue by more than $1 billion. DeSantis wants lawmakers to approve it during the legislative session that starts Jan. 11.

Conversion Therapy Is Lethal Bunk, But Fewer Than Half the States Ban It

November 21, 2021 | FlaglerLive | Leave a Comment

Twenty states have enacted bans on conversion therapy for minors, but that leaves 30 states in which there is only a partial ban or no ban at all.

Many LGBTQ youth live in states, Florida among them, that have no ban in place protecting them from conversion therapy – a practice that the scientific community has long since shunned, and that nearly doubles the incidence of suicide among gay, lesbian and bisexual people victimized by the fraud.

The development of more precise missiles and guided bombs does not automatically mean a reduction in civilian deaths. For one thing, “precision” is not about protecting civilians so much as making these weapons “more lethal”.
