Yet again, another Governor DeSantis press conference sucking up to Elon Musk, this time threatening to eliminate 740 state jobs and pursuing more politically motivated audits targeting our state university system. My statement in response:

Proud to announce that we’ve earned the Central Florida AFL‑CIO’s endorsement—uniting thousands of union members from Orange, Osceola, Lake & Seminole counties behind our campaign to serve as Orlando's next mayor. Join us TONIGHT at our campaign kickoff! Learn more at annafororlando.com/kickoff

@annaforflorida.bsky.social is the best of us. Support her campaign if you are able.

This is the greatest campaign launch video I've ever watched in my life. I have never interacted with a single person who is more committed to public service as @annaforflorida.bsky.social, and she's an amazing person as welll!

Hearing my fellow Americans say, "We need a leader in the room." We have them: AOC, Crockett, Warren, all giving us marching orders. Our local Democratic reps like @annaforflorida.bsky.social too.

And now the Trump administration has opened an investigation of the Maine Department of Education

Press conference with elected officials and community leaders in Little Haiti right now to denounce moves by the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for 500,000 Haitians.

Haitians who have lived in the US for 15 years will be at risk of deportation for no reason other than being Haitian— this is shameful. www.bbc.com/news/article...

You have my vote!

These people are nazis. They don’t even try to hide it so people need to stop making excuses for this shit.

The child labor bill from last session that we defeated has been filed again. This legislation essentially strips current protections Florida has for child labor.

Want to give a very special shoutout to the incredible vendors who are helping to make our @annafororlando Mayoral Campaign Kickoff a success! THANK YOU! It’s been wonderful to work with you and we can’t wait for Monday! Learn more and RSVP at AnnaForOrlando.com/kickoff

We have been so busy these past few weeks that we never had a chance to say THANK YOU to Riley, and WELCOME to Victoria!

I'm not crying, you're crying! 😭 Love you Anna and wish you best of luck from Tampa. I'm very proud of you. I will never forget what you did to help EVERYONE AND ANYONE get unemployment benefits during COVID. Oh, and your sister is pretty cool too. :)

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

Musk/Trump/NYT is going to call firing IRS agents savings, but the lost revenue will be many times their salaries: this all about making it easier for rich people to cheat on their taxes.

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.

“A Tampa-based Fortune 500 fertilizer giant is eyeing a place to put its industrial wastewater: thousands of feet underground.” 🤦🏽‍♀️ www.tampabay.com/news/environ...

I have a lot of thoughts but am in my Human Services Subcommittee right now so I’ll respond ASAP but I feel confident that nightlife can and should co exist with a revitalized & reimagined Downtown. That’s one reason why we’re hosting our kickoff Downtown too. 🫶

Let’s go Orlando!

Ana Eskamani is gonna make Orlando the best city in Florida!!!

She has my vote. I want this woman to be president someday.

I'm so excited to support Dr. Eskamani for Orlando's mayor!

My beautiful, brilliant, amazing friend is running to be Orlando’s next mayor and she’s going to win. Support @annaforflorida.bsky.social !!!

There's a lot to be unhappy about when it comes to Florida Democrats...but Anna V. Eskamani is one of the bright spots and rising star for the Democratic Party. Orlando will be lucky to have her as their mayor.

Thank you 😭

Our happy warrior is running for City of Orlando Mayor. So excited to support @annaforflorida.bsky.social . She is the hardest worker I know. She is ready for this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYzm...

Thank you @annaforflorida.bsky.social for meeting with FAU @faumedcollege.bsky.social! Also, congrats on your Ph.D. In Public Administration! Happy to be a part of a great doctoral program as well!

Orlando is my home. I’ve spent my life working for you and fighting for us. And now, I’m excited to take that fight to Orlando City Hall. youtu.be/KYzmepTg2uA

A bipartisan group of Florida senators are going after one of Ron DeSantis' most controversial appointments: Scott Yenor, a far-right Claremont Institute fellow who recently became the chair of the University of West Florida Board of Trustees.

Thank you @annaforflorida.bsky.social for sharing this horrific example of erasure and violence against trans folks as well as the immediate route for direct comments and feedback. Don’t stop the fight!!

Love to see it 💪

Thank you for being there! Find a full recording here: youtu.be/mniwBsc8yKY?...

Florida’s crackdown forces local officials to comply with ICE or risk removal. For State Representative Anna Eskamani, a Democratic critic: “It erodes that ability to decide who serves you... The idea is to scare people into submission.”boltsmag.org/florida...

Hey #florida folks! What do we think are the top three issues we really need to go after? Listen to a great zoom with @annaforflorida.bsky.social yesterday and since there are so many things being thrown at us, trying to sift through to see which bad Bills will have the most negative impact.
