Florida Justice Institute
@fji.law
This month, we honor pioneers who paved the way for justice. Like Virgil Hawkins, who fought to desegregate Florida's law schools. And Harry and Harriette Moore, who built the groundwork for civil rights advocacy. Keep their memories alive and bring the spirit of advocacy into your work.

All Americans should pay close attention to this. Trump is trying to cheat in the next election. Now is the time to mobilize & speak out for democracy.
The corruption from the Trump Administration is sick. He’s negotiating against himself right now for $10 billion settlement. And it doesn’t stop there. They are out for themselves and the Trump family — not the American people. And the cuts from HR 1 prove it!
ESPN's Lisa Salters and Mike Breen salute Knicks C Mitchell Robinson for opening up about his mental health struggles this postseason. Salters: "Good for him for acknowledging that it's OK to not be OK, and that it's also OK to talk about it. We of course are wishing him nothing but the best."

It is one of my favorite halls of Kyiv Picture Gallery. The gallery is housed in the former mansion of Fedir Tereshchenko (1832–1894), a Ukrainian industrialist and art collector. I visited it today to see a new exhibition. Ukraine hides so many treasures.
Thanks to #Medicaid, Corinne, an individual on the autism spectrum, has a care attendant & a job coach to support her health & career — allowing her to live independently. But with Republicans in Congress threatening Medicaid cuts — how many people with disabilities could lose their independence?

Congress needs to step in. SOMEONE needs to stop him. I just can’t believe this is happening with NO ONE doing anything to stop him. WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY???
Corrupt gerrymandering is not a political strategy. It is voter suppression with a pencil. Democrats need to stop playing nice and start fighting back.

Last year Parliament passed legislation to cover diabetes and contraceptive medications through our public healthcare system. Budget 2025 promised to protect pharmacare—but didn't allocate any money to it. The Liberals must keep their word and fund pharmacare for all Canadians.
