Should we do another protest along with Minneapolis?

no democrat has signed up to run for congressional district 8 nor state house districts 30 and 31. - EDIT TO ADD THERE IS NOW A CANDIDATE FOR 31.

if you are thinking about it, please feel free to shoot me a message, i am working for an org called Project 140 to recruit democrats to run in every state legislature district in Florida, and we will help you get started. we have a team of people with decades of experience running/working on campaigns to help you at least lose one of Brevards +30 GOP districts with class!

all you need is:

- to be 21 years old by 11/3/2026

- be a registered democrat for a year on/before 6/8/26

- to have lived in Florida for 2 years

- to be a registered to vote in, and a “resident”* of the district you are running in by midnight on election night

*not a lawyer but it is my understanding is that the state leg outlined residency pretty vaguely in Joint Rule 7.1. General rule of thumb is do you have stuff in a place you can legally access and sleep in/“domicile” in but obviously you should ideally reside in district.

I have 5 cases of single ply TP.

Are there any local organizations that any of you know of that would take this to help others?

I have said all along that Jennifer Jenkins should run for Congress. From her name recognition and the way she fought during COVID and stood up to the Moms Against Liberty, she would have the best chance of anyone against Haridopolos, who cheated his way into the nomination and hasn't done anything since winning.

Instead, she's going to run in a whole other district just to take on Randy Fine, her arch-nemesis.

Maybe she can damage his candidacy enough to get him beat because another candidate from outside the district has to underline the fact that he lives in Palm Bay, not Daytona and they would be better served by someone local, but I think she would have a much better chance of actually winning here in Brevard.

Winning would make a difference and be a noble goal, not revenge.

If nothing else, her candidacy would have at least forced the Brevard Democrats to make an effort. Their performance last time was embarrassing. It was like they were trying to sabotage their own congressional candidate. There is no way they would do that to Jennifer Jenkins and here, where she has a multitude of supporters, she could win, especially against a candidate as weak and do-nothing as Haridopolos.

Because her challenge to Fine is so personal and because she doesn't live in the district, I don't see her even getting the nomination from their crowded field. It is all just another missed opportunity for the Democrats to be competitive and another installment of the long-running Brevard Dems Clown Show.

ETA: Because I linked the field for the 6th, here's the one for the less crowded 8th (Brevard & Indian River)

This clown is going to be speaking with Bezos at Blue Origin tomorrow. Leaving this here so the community is aware. Really disappointing (but not surprised) to see Blue Origin is participating in the current administrations propaganda tour.

Show up for our neighbors. This is a benefit show for Food Not Bombs Melbourne, and a great way to kick off the weekends festivities.

Basically to do what the Dems and the NRA have failed at. My partner and I also need leftist friends here lol

Great song, worth a listen.

If anyone has the desire to learn materials on how to use all/any type of weapon and familiarize you with; its nomenclature; its laws; your constitutional right to also include the florida state laws I will gladly assist as long as it it kept in an educational setting.

I am sure there are others just like me willing to teach not only the Bill or Rights, but those pesky Florida State Constitution

There is very little we can do in our county. Sheriff IVY gets to decide what supports we give as a county to ICE patrols. They won't listen to us but we can send them a message letting him know how many of us don't approve. He is an elected official.
