Antifa is not an organization. "Antifa" simply means "Anti-Fascism." America has been Anti-Fascism since its founding. Aren't we all Antifa? Yet Trump has designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, and Sen. Rick Scott filed the "Stop ANTIFA Act." As if Anti-Fascists are our enemy.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran β and, believing that itβs good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made βRick Stevesβ Iran,β a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Power and profit: Developers gained government status, then got bonds to build big
By Josh Salman and Derek Gilliam / Suncoast Searchlight
I've long been concerned about CDDs and their impacts on homeowners and the larger community. This is the best report on the topic I've seen. If you're concerned about the impacts of growth, and the power of developers in Florida, this is essential reading.

In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carterβs clean energy funding.
This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

The behind-the-scenes story of the Florida state park scandal
Hereβs how one of the stateβs biggest controversies of the year came together β and quickly fell apart.
Without the brave whistleblowers at FDEP, & great reporters at @tampabaytimes.bsky.social, DeSantis wouldβve sold out Floridaβs parklands to his golfing buddies & developer cronies before we knew anything about it. www.tampabay.com/news/environ... Thx, @maxchesnes.bsky.social

The bill, filed by a Republican lawmaker, continues the bipartisan backlash against controversial plans to develop parks.
Thank goodness there are still some lawmakers in Florida willing to stand up to DeSantisβs attempts to sell out our parklands. And thanks to @maxchesnes.bsky.social for keeping us informed.
