The climate chickens have definitely come home to roost. We just got power and internet restored after seven days in the dark. My favorite memory is of this little tiny red-headed woman who BLEW UP at a guy twice her size in the Lowe's. It was something like "The HELL it isn't climate change!" Loud enough to blow him into the parking lot!

Great to get a reminder that some people are working very hard, and very conscientiously, and not giving up. I admire Mr. Jones.

Wasn't it Martin Luther King Jr. who said “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”?

Sigh... yeah... now when shit is hitting the fan, they cry out, "Save us! Save us!" instead of listening fifty years ago when it would have done the most good.

As a Florida Democrat, I truly appreciate the leadership and optimism of Sen. Jones.

The Florida Democratic Party was almost defunct in terms of its influence in the State and advocacy for statewide candidates. There is no question the ascendency of Kamala Harris has energized Dems in Florida. Our democratic club in central east coast Florida just topped 300 members, where the previous record was around 225 in 2020. Our local campaign office is humming with activity 6 days a week and FL Municipal, State and Federal candidates are co-hosting phone banking and Meet & Greet events with constituents there. The Harris Campaign has already hosted 2 phone banking events lead by campaign staffers as well. All these actions foster an incredible feeling of connection, which leads to a deeper commitment from volunteers. I know, because I am one of them!
