It is because @barackobama.bsky.social signed the Affordable Care Act 15 years ago that for the last 9 years I have had the life saving immunotherapy drugs that fight my Chronic leukemia. A drug I will have to take for the rest of my life and I will defend the ACA for the rest of my life.

LAST THING: This is a development in a GOP state where Republicans like Diaz-Balart, Salazar, Gimenez, and DeSantis have tried to paint DEMs as communists/(which, ofc, is a lie

There is going to be a TON of punditry and about what this means for the FL Dems — so here’s my FL Man analysis
1. Republicans at the state/local level are in disarray
2. Higgins (MIA) follows a similar upset by Deegan (JAX)
3. The BS election conspiracy has no room to stand in GOP dominant state

CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.
She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

This IS the Dark Ages I think. What did the ‘Dark Ages’ even mean? The age before Science, before literacy, before Art, before progress? Who would have thought we would have a need to revisit those times?? Trump and republicans think so!!

I've been teaching the Canterbury Tales, focusing on social disparity, for years. The parallels between the Dark Ages and NOW are wretched. The powerful didn't give a shit about the suffering of others in 1400, and they give less of one in 2025. Difference is: WE know better.
