Good luck with your property values, Winter Park: weaponization of law enforcement for bigotry & personal gain is a terrible thing. When violations and misuse of resources are left unaddressed, they appear to have the sanction of the community, leaving the community vulnerable.
The Winter Park Police Department has received numerous inquiries into a call that was received over the weekend and would like to provide the following information to the community. On October 24, Winter Park Police received a call for assistance. The caller was a youth sport's director at a local child's soccer game. The caller alleged that the parents of a young player were being disruptive and that as the league director, he wanted the parents to leave the park. Upon arrival, officers encountered the parents, who were already in the process of leaving the park on their own accord. This call did NOT prompt officers to trespass any individuals and was considered a civil matter between the league and parents. Despite some social media rumors, there was never any suggestion that the call to police was prompted over the child's on field talent. Officers did help facilitate communication between the league and parents over refunding registration costs to the family. The department has posted a link to the officers' body worn cameras, along with call to police. The materials can be accessed here: cityofwinterpark.org/departm…

She sure did.
She had Garland’s number early. Even I didn’t believe it at first, but it really ties together. I hold him chiefly responsible for the mess we are in now, because he had some latitude early in his tenure to do something.

It's also interesting how the holdouts to resisting fascism see themselves as part of some America that's "great again" without asking themselves whether the the people who have the power to exclude them think so.

Many more have been finding out the hard way recently that they're not of the great, and that trend will also grow exponentially as we continue living yet another iteration of Niemöller's "First, they Came"

Gosh I'd like to see Zuckerberg held accountable for election interference in the US, Brazil, and anywhere else he's trying to control.
This story is extremely important: A whistleblower revealed that Brazil's far-right Bolsonaro family dynasty met with Meta to discuss US plans to interfere in Brazil's election, to prevent Lula from winning. Lula's Facebook and Instagram accounts were censored a few days before the first round of the presidential election. This had a huge impact on the election, because Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, which are all owned by Meta, are the most popular apps in Brazil, and are hugely influential all across Latin America. (Jair Bolsonaro's son Flávio was declared the winner of the first round of the vote, by a narrow margin.) Meta later admitted that Lula's accounts had been restricted, but it claimed that this was supposedly due to a "technical error"... The whistleblower who disclosed this is Nadia Beller, a Bolivian journalist who was almost killed by hitmen hired by Fernando Cerimedo, a far-right Argentine political operative who oversees election interference, bots, and disinformation campaigns. Cerimedo is closely linked to the US government and has worked for pretty much every right-wing leader in Latin America. He was photographed with Donald Trump Jr. and members of the Bolsonaro family, and he received an award at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida a few months before he was arrested for the failed assassination attempt against Beller, his pregnant ex-girlfriend.

Another person has died in ICE custody — this is the 28th known death this year. The cruelty of this rogue agency is beyond unconscionable. Abolish ICE.

Federal law prohibits armed federal agents from conducting activities in and around polling places. Last week, 2 FL counties reported seeing immigration enforcement at or near polling places open for in-person early voting hours. tampabay.com/news/florida-po…

ITS THIS. I’m around the public all day and I can tell you it’s exactly this. Sarah tried to tell us in 2019 & sadly it’s still the case. It’s getting better but it’s still the case. That & most of us don’t know history.
Replying to @sarahkendzior
Part of the reason some people are reluctant to accept the sheer horrific scope of what the Trump admin does is lack of consequences. They think "If it's that bad -- if he's an asset, they're criminals -- surely someone would have stopped them!" They didn't. But they must.
