James Talarico commits to two terms, warning that public office becomes self-preservation when politicians make it their identity
“I've already said that I'll only be serving two terms if I'm blessed to get the opportunity to serve for two terms.”
“It becomes about accumulating power rather than serving people.”
“So it's no longer a service. It is your identity and you do whatever you can to protect that, right? Which means selling out your values.”
“But then I want to give the reins over to someone else, someone who has fresh energy and new ideas and a different perspective.”

You should be more of a diva, have higher standards, be insufferable about how much you love yourself, be a beacon of unbridled joy, show people what it means to truly believe in yourself, let them think your full of yourself, stay so immeasurably grateful for the blessing that is life itself.

They aren’t your humbling years. They’re your awakening years.
Between 25 and 30, you start seeing things differently. Everything becomes clearer. You begin to understand what you truly want, what no longer matters, and how much time you’ve spent chasing the wrong things. That’s clarity.
Some people mistake this clarity for failure because they wish they had figured things out sooner.
But the truth is, if you’re intentional about your life, you can achieve more in those years than you did throughout your entire early twenties. The difference is that now, you see clearly.

Stay safe folks. Friendly reminder.
I fought to stop DeSantis from using emergency disaster relief funds for political stunts like Alligator Alcatraz. Ashley Moody allowed it.
I raised the alarm and organized around the 50% cuts to FEMA. Ashley Moody was silent.
We purchased beds, donated money, supplies and food to hurricane survivors. Moody, while Attorney General turned the other way when insurance companies, her donors, denied claims to rebuild homes.
Vote accordingly.

Love is ethical, before it is emotional. I think about this statement a lot. It is your responsibility that you make sure you do not exploit those who love you. Love is a powerful force, and if in good conscience you value those who love you, you will protect them from themselves
