Thanks to AAN for this! My article "Straight Time" for the Orlando Weekly looks into the discriminatory actions of a Christian rehab that punished a woman for kissing another woman.
Politico article today: "Ron DeSantis thinks pot is a menace to society. His biggest backer is working to legalize it." I wrote about this topic last month for @CannabisWire! cannabiswire.com/2023/08/24/…
"DeSantis is not just guilty of a failure of words but of imagination- and of course of introspection...One can't pack the barn with TNT and then act shocked when it explodes. This very rational logic would trouble a leader burdened with empathy or even a hint of self-awareness."
Column: Mourning Jacksonville needed a leader. Instead, it got #Florida@GovRonDeSantis "lacking even the vocabulary to speak lucidly about the awful thing took place the day before." jacksonville.com/story/news/… via @NateMonroeTU
.@Trulieve, by far Florida's biggest cannabis player, has contributed a staggering $39M to an adult use legalization campaign in the state.

If you want to know the back story behind DeSantis's declaration of war against "Soros-funded prosecutors," check out @EricTegethoff's story from last month on the right's effort to remove and disempower pro-reform prosecutors. theappeal.org/conservatives-…
Monique Worrell just became the latest casualty in the right's war on pro-reform prosecutors. @EricTegethoff took a deep dive on conservatives' motivations and strategies last week -- check it out! theappeal.org/conservatives-…
Between 2019-2022, 16 states introduced bills to curtail prosecutorial power. At least four more have passed similar laws in 2023. @EricTegethoff explains that this is all part of a broader anti-democratic attack on progressive prosecutors. theappeal.org/conservatives-…
It was great to work with @theappeal on this article about the right's attack on the "progressive prosecutor" movement. It likely comes as no surprise that this story starts in Florida. theappeal.org/conservatives-…
Here is an article I wrote for The New Republic on Florida exploring using radioactive waste in roads. Cool, Florida. Cool. newrepublic.com/article/1741… Follow @newrepublic
The Taintsville Puppy Mill project seems to have come to end. To quote one of the public commenters on it: "You can put all the sound buffering on Abu Ghraib that you want to, but this is not something anyone wants in their neighborhood."

This letter from State Attorney Monique Worrell to Gov. Ron DeSantis is the spiciest thing you’ll see on the internet today orlandoweekly.com/news/this-…
I'm back at it for the 420 Issue. Even came up with the headline! "Joint resolution in Tallahassee could leave cannabis measure up in smoke." orlandoweekly.com/cannabis/t…
