Why is a board member of SCF telling people not to go to college? Doesn't he have a fiduciary responsibility? This certainly can't be helping SCF President Tommy Gregory, or our community which needs nurses, teachers, cybersecurity specialists, construction project managers etc that SCF produces....

Somehow this musical story of the Jim Crow South at Westcoast Black Theatre last night was as relevant as ever. Great job by the cast and production!

No Kings Day 2.0 in Sarasota by UTC Mall area with 2,500-3,000 attending was the biggest event I've ever seen there. The inflatables & silly costumes stole the show but patriotic messages buoyed the event. It's not in our DNA -- We don't do kings in America! #NoKings /1

Rep. Vern Buchanan, representing a strongly right-leaning district in Manatee & Hillsborough Counties, is having a hard time convincing his voters that the government shutdown is bad, even when he lies about what healthcare subsidies Democrats are standing up for.

What is going on in Florida right now with the Schools of Hope story is legit the craziest story I've ever heard about public education in this state. /1

Looks like constituents in Rep. Vern Buchanan's Republican-leaning district narrowly support the fight by Democrats to restore healthcare spending as part of government shutdown negotiations. But Vern is not listening...

Last day for early pricing for Manatee Democrats' Blue Denim, Boots, and Bling event, with country music's youngest African-American star, Trey Taylor. This is not a typical gala with political speeches, it's a night of good food (country BBQ buffet), music & dancing.

Great to be with Indivisible Manatee for #WorkersOverBillionaires protest for Labor Day. We had 150 by UTC in Sarasota. Billionaires & their allies in Congress are firing workers & cutting Medicaid & social security, but we are showing solidarity with workers, unions, & communities under attack.
