Is it really another day in Jacksonville if we aren’t watching the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office get everything they want while real community services suffer?

But to call it WOKE? To call giving nearly half of a billion dollar budget to the cops WOKE is WILD work! Not to mention that Councilman Rory Diamond’s issues with the budget are fake issues.

What a time to zone out, right?
Trust us, we have choice words regarding Donna Deegan’s proposed budget. Throwing more money to JSO and increasing their pay while giving a shoestring budget to programs like parks, libraries, and housing services is WILD work.

We're joining the call for a boycott of Mambo's Cuban Cafe--because if Raul Arias wants to jeopardize his community, the least we can do is jeopardize his pocketbook. Jacksonville Deserves Better than a councilman who throws fellow immigrants under the bus and then sells their culture.

Arias believes the people who make what he sells aren't worth feeding. But their ideas, tax dollars, and food? Delicious!

With his yes vote, Ordinance 2025-0138 passed the council. If it's signed into law by the Mayor, anyone found to help an "alien"--whether it be a meal at a soup kitchen or emergency care at a medical center--will be subject to fines and penalties from local govt.

Councilman Arias is perfectly happy to sell food from other cultures, but the people? He'd rather they starve.

If Mayor Donna Deegan vetoes this bill, it then goes back to the council--it will have to pass a 2/3rds vote to then become law. It didn’t even get that the first time.
(Do note that councilwoman Ju'Coby Pittman was not present to vote on the bill last Tuesday)

What’s Scaredy Cat Carrico scared of THIS time?
You’d have an easier time listing what he ISN’T scared of! But lately he seems to be scared of Matt Carlucci! That’s right, a member of his own party! On May 30th, News4Jax posted an article regaling the tense event between these two council members.

In fact, make sure you flood the inboxes of everyone who voted on these bills! We need to stand with those who stand with us, and oppose those who stand for hatred and fear in Jax.

Our Nice councilperson of the week is Tyrona Clark-Murray, who gave an impassioned and honestly absolute BANGER of a speech in opposition of the racist xenophobic 2025-0138 and everything it and Rory Diamond stand for! Incredible work Ms. Clark-Murray--we see you and we hear you!

Recent polls even show that immigration is NOT a priority concern for residents, but it sure seems to be a priority concern for Rory Diamond and 11 of the 19 city councilpeople.

This bill CLAIMS to save taxpayers' money by ensuring it doesn’t go to ‘the wrong people,’ but in reality its going to COST taxpayer dollars to investigate these orgs, all while Jax residents have to fear that their support will be ripped away.

Our Naughty councilperson of the week? Who else could it be but Rory Diamond! He introduced and stubbornly pushed for ordinance 2025-0138, to force organizations and nonprofits around Jacksonville into paranoia quadruple checking to make sure they aren’t knowingly assisting undocumented immigrants.

Whether its starting their sessions hours before most people get off work, adding new rules to silence those who DO show, or ordering their police to expel--and sometimes brutally arrest--those brave enough to speak out, it’s becoming increasingly apparent they don’t want to hear their constituents.

Jax Deserves Better than for our voices to be silenced and our participation to be unwanted.
Jacksonville’s City Council has done everything but outright state that they don’t actually want to hear what their constituents have to say.

Where's Carrico?
This is one of the hundreds of times Kevin Carrico has not shown up to work while on the taxpayer's dime.
When you don't show up to work, you lose your job. When Carrico doesn't show up to work, he gets elected City Council President.
Make it make sense.
