This shutdown is now the longest in history, thanks to the Trump administration and their allies in Congress. They *could* fund the government and fix the health care crisis - but instead they’re prolonging the suffering of workers, just to break the Affordable Care Act.

Amazon is quietly raising prices much more than its competition. While many companies are raising prices and blaming tariffs, Amazon prices have skyrocketed by an average of 12.8% this year. Their biggest competitors, Walmart and Target, have raised prices about 5%. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/05/a...

Who would’ve thought that kneecapping public education institutions/facilities and terrorizing ESL students would have resulted in this….? Oh, right. Anyone with an understanding of cause-and-effect. Education is suffering statewide. Support educators, students, & community initiatives!

Not surprising whatsoever. The more I learn about PERA (the NLRA law equivalent for public employees) the more apparent it becomes how this state is an employer haven & how workers have never mattered here…almost as if it’s rooted in brutal traditions… www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...

Repubs are going after voting rights however they can. Why? "As of 2024, the majority-minority states: Hawaii, California, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Maryland, Georgia, Florida, & New Jersey. These states have a higher percentage of people of color than the U.S. as a whole." Any questions?

To start...you may remember I was one of three UF "Americanist" political scientists who risked our jobs for the right to participate in Florida litigation protecting voting rights. We had violent threats to ourselves and our families www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
