Please consider financially supporting my campaign finance research if you are able! The more tips I receive, the more time I can dedicate to the research rather than doing online work for less than minimum wage! For just $300/w, I can do it full-time! linktr.ee/daniriveramiami

Here's a very fast pull of the NextEra (FPL) contributions listed on the Florida database. Link to the spreadsheet below. $19 MILLION
Donations drastically increased starting in 2021. Preference for Republicans. This is the reason your electric bill is ridiculously unaffordable.

If you're in a position to do so, please consider financially helping my family out. We need $2200 by Friday. In return, I can provide campaign finance research into all Miami-Dade County races, M-D area state legislature races, & all state-wide races.

Got to celebrate the 4th by taking kiddo to his favorite place in Miami: @MuseumofMiami!
Remember: Disabled people are still denied our freedom & dignity. Our elected officials feel perfectly comfortable telling us to divorce, be placed into institutions, &/or kill ourselves.

July is Disability Pride Month. This month, all I want is for non-disabled people to care about us. I want them to not only know this month exists, but to want us in society. Disabled people have been begging to be included in the world since the beginning. Please listen to us.

Another of the 'tragedies' of city leadership. Imagine a beautiful waterfront library on Biscayne Bay.
Did you know that Miami once possessed a distinguished Miami Public Library, gracefully presiding over Bayfront Park?
Completed in 1951, this elegant structure fused classical proportions with the optimism of postwar modernity - a transitional gem that bridged traditional typologies and the emerging future. It stood as a temple of knowledge, welcoming students and citizens of all walks of life.
Tragically, it was demolished in the mid-1980s.

For decades, mobile home communities offered many older Floridians an affordable place to retire. But as parks are bought by investors, redeveloped, or damaged by storms, many low-income seniors are facing a housing crisis. #DefendDemocracy floridatrident.org/rising-co…

A3 Foundation, the controversial nonprofit org tied to MDC chairman Anthony Rodriguez, has the same corporate address as Anthony Fiore, the treasurer for PAC, that has supported MDC clerk Juan Fernandez-Barquin, who is supposedly auditing A3. Fiore also prepared A3 tax return.
Could the delay of the audit into controversial nonprofit A3 Foundation have something to do with its executive director landing a job at lobbying firm co-founded by political ally of Miami-Dade Clerk Juan Fernandez-Barquin?

Fyi, #PoliticalCortadito is temporarily down due to some malware introduced via a subscriber or comment or something. @bluehost is on the case. I'll let you know when the site is back up. They may also find out where it originated. So I'll let you know that, too.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just struck down restrictions on political parties’ coordinated campaign spending, saying that they violate the First Amendment.
The 6-3 decision means political parties will be able to coordinate with candidates, and raise unlimited amounts of money.

Since mid-April, Fire rescue has been called seven times to get people out of a Hollywood building elevator.

🧵My husband has given me permission to name names. @WholeFoods hired my husband as a BTK amputee ambulatory wheelchair user, but suddenly roaming TMS decided it's unsafe for him to work using his chair & after a month of not being allowed to work, Segdwick can't get a response.
Basically my husband's employer has decided he's not allowed to work as long as he requires the use of his mobility devices. Yes, we know it's illegal & have begun to file w/ appropriate gov agency, but that takes time & bills won't wait.
ALT Slight update on why we may need to crowdfund again soon: My husband, a below the knee amputee & ambulatory wheelchair user, was told by his employer, a nationwide retail chain, late last month he's not allowed to work as long as he requires the use of mobility devices. They claim it's because he would require assistance to evacuate the building in an emergency. He was hired about a month after he got his prosthetic leg and has worked there for nearly a year using crutches, a knee scooter, a walker, and his wheelchair without issue, but a district manager saw him and decided it was unsafe for him to work as a cashier. That sits down. Right by the front door. Because he -might- require assistance during an emergency. My husband is the primary earner in our household and we are now at risk of being homeless again. The Homeless Trust claims they aren't legally required to assist disabled people and have literally suggested we kill ourselves when it's legalized in Florida.

Here's why STS wouldn't work for my family:
- 10 rides/week to get my husband to work
- 20 r/w for me to take our autistic kid to school
- up to 30 r/month for doc appts, grocery, pharmacy, & other errands
That doesn't even include me working IF I can find a job outside the home
The @CityofMiami & @IRideMDT STS contractor just refused me access to the @CityofMiami trolley again. Why should I be forced to use STS when the STS contractor isn't forced to allow me on their fixed routes? @commescalona @commvickillopez @MayorDaniella

Wheelchair update:
John’s wheelchair wasn’t found but we were inundated by offers to help facilitate getting a new one sent to John.
@_ChaoticGood42 reached out and in an incredible act of kindness, had one delivered to the address John and Mary were staying at.
Mary and John were overwhelmed by the response and Mary has insisted on making a charitable donation to @_ChaoticGood42’s favourite charity, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. imaginationlibrary.com
Thank you everyone who offered to help John and Mary. ❤️
🚨 Missing Wheelchair
At the Scotland v Morocco game at @GilletteStadium Mary and John were in section 303 for wheelchair users.
John’s wheelchair was stowed for the game and unfortunately someone removed it from the storage area insisting he needed it for his father.
We can only presume he thought John's wheelchair belonged to the stadium.
If it was you, can you DM us to let us know where exactly you left it so it can be located and returned to John.

"Why is the Republican Party of Florida pushing Byron Donald's so hard?"
Both major parties work hard for the people who pay them. Friends of Byron Donalds PAC has give the RPOF at least $2.5 million reasons. That PAC is mostly funded by people/orgs who prey upon Flordians.
