“Lynchings in America were not isolated hate crimes committed by vigilantes. Lynchings were targeted racial violence perpetrated to uphold an unjust social order. Lynchings were terrorism.”

In Florida and in State Government:
Note: Some proceedings below can be followed live on the Florida Channel. Most legislative proceedings can be followed through the Senate or House websites.
HEARING HELD IN POT SMOKING CASE: Leon County Circuit Judge Karen Gievers will hear arguments about lifting an automatic stay of a ruling that would allow patients to smoke medical marijuana. Gievers on May 25 overturned part of a law passed year by the Legislature that barred patients from smoking medical marijuana. The law was designed to carry out a 2016 constitutional amendment that legalized marijuana for a wide range of patients, but the smoking ban quickly drew a legal challenge. The Florida Department of Health appealed Gievers’ ruling on allowing smokable marijuana, which led to an automatic stay of the ruling. Plaintiffs then filed a motion seeking to vacate the state. Gievers will consider that request at the hearing. (Monday, 9 a.m., Leon County Courthouse, 301 South Monroe St., Tallahassee.)
