The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission – the "conservation" agency run by developers and political fundraisers appointed by the governor – has spied on dozens of environmental activists.
And, it turns out, their families.

I’m one of the individuals who were surveilled for documenting the manatee unusual mortality event in Brevard County. What we are seeing is a government acting out of control to monitor its own citizens. This should be a wake-up call. 👇🏽 By @craigtimes

Had a blast last night at @TomboloBooks listening to #Florida native @DeeshaPhilyaw read from & talk about her hilarious new novel THE TRUE CONFESSIONS OF FIRST LADY FREEMAN. She made me holler amen!

We really need more of these wildlife crossings on our Florida highways. Florida's wild beauty isn't only due to the water and plants. Our ecosystems need balance provided by all the links in the food chain. I hope the next governor will care about stuff like this
Column: #Florida panthers, our state animal, benefit greatly from once-controversial critter crossings. My latest column for the @FLPhoenixNews also features shout-outs to Bruce Springsteen, RFK Jr. & the Skunk Ape. floridaphoenix.com/2026/10/2…

Florida’s Craig Pittman, @CraigTimes, posted this new gem.
Could Border Patrol Agents be so stupid that they think they can vote in counties where they aren’t registered?
Maybe they’re that dumb. It’s possible. It’s also possible they just wanted to hang around and intimidate.
It's "Oh, #Florida! The Newsletter," popping up in your TL like a cop secretly moving into a dead guy's house and fixing it up!
