Florida legislators want to protect phosphate giant from suits over radioactive land β€’ Florida Phoenix When I was a kid growing up in Pensacola, I’d come home from school and immediately turn on β€œThe Big Show” on WKRG-TV. The avuncular host, Max Goodman, showed a lot of ’50s monster movies, and that’s ...

β€œExposure to levels of radiation similar to those identified in the Angler’s Green and Paradise Lakes communities,” the suit contends, β€œtranslates to residents receiving over one chest X-ray per week β€” with obviously no diagnostic or health purpose whatsoever.” floridaphoenix.com/2025/05/01/f...

He was arrested under a suspended Florida immigration law. Turns out he’s a U.S. citizen In apparent defiance of a federal court ruling, a Florida Highway Patrol trooper arrested a Georgia man in north Florida under a new state law that targets undocumented immigrants who enter the state ...

The arrest and ICE hold against Juan Carlos is not just troubling because he is a U.S. citizen, he was charged under a recent anti-immigrant which we sued and temporarily blocked in court. Juan Carlos is free now but it’s clear that Florida continues to act in a lawless manner.

The Trump administration has turned its back on our community and other marginalized groups most at risk with the gutting of the State Department. NO MORE.

We WILL keep fighting for access to lifesaving healthcare and programs NO MATTER WHAT. hrc.im/ProtectHealth

Trump floats plan for undocumented farm and hotel workers to work legally in the U.S. The president's comments suggested a vague plan that would allow the government to bring back "great" people who are "working hard" and who "go out ... in a nice way."

As Trump terrorizes immigrants, he now wants to create a carveout for undocumented farm and hotel workers. Trump infamously used undocumented labor at his hotels and resorts.

We need their labor. Capitalists want them to be too scared to ask for a decent wage.

Chosen Morris should still be alive. When adults fail to securely store their guns, kids can access them and devastating incidents like this can happen. Each year, nearly 360 children under 18 access an unsecured gun and unintentionally shoot themselves or someone else.

Donald Trump betrayed Venezuelans.

On April 6th, they will lose their protections.

Miami-Dade Democrats are fighting back and urging leaders to restore TPS before it’s too late.

A federal court just blocked Elon Musk from interfering with the federal government’s payments system.

There is power in fighting back. We won’t let up until this block is permanent.

For years, Big Pharma protected their profits by convincing Republicans to block Medicare from negotiating lower drug prices.

I fought back, and Democrats came together to let Medicare bring down costs. Now let’s save even more money by expanding its price negotiations.
