    Andrew Gillum held that mayor's office before running against DeSantis.

    This will be a major Happy Place for Democratic boosters in '24.

      So Trump will have something else to slam DeSantis over.
      May we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worm, the spiderlings.
      Children who sense the rose needs the thorn and run into rainswept days the same way they turn towards the sun...
      And when they're grown and someone has to speak for those who have no voice,
      may they draw upon that wilder bond, those days of tending tender things and be the one.

                  Yeah, a lot of non-Floridians think Jax or Orlando is the capital.

Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)

                      I'm surprised this is considered major. It's a big city, of course it goes Democrat. It's also turning into a cesspool.
