Let me make sure I understand this correctly. In April 2022, I filed petitions with 63 Florida school districts asking them to remove the Bible from school classrooms and libraries. My reasoning was airtight: DeSantis had just signed HB 1467, empowering parents to challenge “obscene” materials. The Bible — rape, infanticide, bestiality, Psalm 137:9 (“Happy is the one who seizes …
[UPDATE]: Heritage Trap: How Florida’s Anti-DEI Law Eats Its Own
The Law They Didn’t Read On March 10, 2026, the Florida Legislature passed SB 1134, the most sweeping anti-DEI bill to reach a governor’s desk in American history. The House voted 77-37. The Senate voted 25-11. Governor DeSantis is expected to sign it. It takes effect January 1, 2027. The bill’s sponsors say it kills DEI. They’re right. It also …
A Chip, a Chair, and the First Amendment
How I Sued a Florida Politician While Dying (and Why You Should Too) I Filed Before the Game Changed This started under Knight v. Trump—when courts still believed the First Amendment applied to Twitter like it did to a town square. Then I got sick. ICU. Tubes. Exit music queued. While I hung on by a nose-hair, SCOTUS dropped Lindke …
Five Questions for the City Commission (Aka: If This Is About Safety, Show Us the Numbers)
TL;DR: The “Show Me the Numbers” Challenge Chaz Stevens is calling out the City Commission for choosing “delay” over “data.” He argues that if BSO were truly the safer option, the Sheriff wouldn’t be begging for time—he’d be providing a spreadsheet. The post demands answers on: If we’re being told that public safety demands delay, more studies, and another two …
This Isn’t a Warning. It’s a Vendor Hostage Note.
TL;DR BSO cites a 35-year partnership as a reason to stay. Chaz argues municipal contracts aren’t marriages—they are purchases that must be justified by current data, not history. This isn’t a warning.It’s a hostage note written by the vendor. Read it again.Slowly.Strip out the drama and what’s left?Fear words stacked where numbers should be. “Catastrophic mistake.”“Jeopardize public safety.”“87,000 people.” Big …
“I’ll Pay for the Study”: Delay, Damage Control, and the Noland Tell
TL;DR At the Jan 2026 Deerfield Beach Commission meeting, BSO officials proposed funding a new fire-rescue study in exchange for a two-year contract extension—a move critics call a ‘delay tactic’ to avoid municipal independence. I’ve been around Deerfield Beach politics long enough to know when a room gets nervous. Not loud. Not chaotic. Nervous. That was the vibe at the …
Yo Dudley, Why I Refuse to Soften My Activism…
A long-time reader and friend of the blog—someone you’d recognize by name, someone many of you know personally—pulled me aside recently. I’ll call him Dudley Do-Right. Dudley meant well. He always does. Dudley is, contrary to some opinion, a good guy. He told me this blog work looks exhausting. That it eats time, energy, and focus. That maybe—maybe—it isn’t worth …
MAOS Is Back. Same System. New Failure Modes.
MAOS is back with a new approach to First Amendment systems engineering. I shut My Acts of Sedition down because I was busy breaking other systems I broke Florida’s book-ban law hard enough that Ron DeSantis rewrote it. I stress-tested school districts until they folded. I forced cities to choose between constitutional neutrality and shutting the whole damn thing down. …
