We naturally try to make sense of senseless violence and potential hate-crimes. Sam Nordquist was tortured and murdered by evil incarnate.

As a trans man, Sam was hated and vilified by half of the political establishment, who also have his blood on their hands. #JusticeForSamNordquist 🏳️‍⚧️

Over two thousand people just jumped to their feet to cheer for mayor @donnadeegan.bsky.social, who gave one of the greatest speeches I’ve seen in person. It was a real homage to the life and example of Dr. King as we collectively ponder our “audacious faith in the future.” #ilovejax

“No one mourns the wicked.”

Anita Bryant is no more.

God bless and keep Jimmy Carter, the best of us.

He’s gone home to Glory. And he’s earned his rest for sure.

I visited Pearl Harbor in May of 2001 and was awed by the USS Arizona memorial. Let’s never forget the sacrifices made there by our American sailors on that infamous day in 1941.

I believe you’re right. We need to keep pressing forward, but guard our left flank as well. Coming out and having conversations with friends, neighbors, and coworkers is still important. Those basic lessons from the movement in the 80s and 90s are relevant today.

It really does feel like old Twitter around here. Can we repurpose the #failwhale? Pretty please?

I feel safer already.

#jaxpol shake-up in the making. Trump II forming up will send ripple effects through lots of smaller political ponds in Florida and beyond.

A funny thing happens when you count all the votes. I’ve been basically tuned out since Wednesday. Not planning to tune in anytime soon, but these numbers are very comforting.

We owe more to our Veterans than can ever be paid.

Thank you for your service.

Being from a military family, I know the sacrifice that can attend important national service. Both for the Veterans and their loved ones.

Today my thoughts are with all who have worn the uniform of the United States of America. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice.
