MUST SEE!
"IMMIGRATION NATION" -- an original docuseries by Netflix
An ICE agent (right) exercises a warrant in Netflix's 'Immigration Nation.'
This series came out just this month on Netflix. It is definitely a must-see. It is amazing what the Netflix crew was able to capture on tape. The Trump administration tried to block its release until after the election. It gives a picture of what it's like inside ICE, the attitudes of the ICE officials, and the experiences and heartbreaks of the immigrants. It will induce anger, as well as tears. It's a series of 6 episodes, one hour each and well worth every minute. (Editor's opinion)

"I firmly believe that education is the key to a future that works well for all of us. One of the most basic and actually fairly simple things to do for a quality life for everyone is to increase awareness and the information available about the environment including soil and water conservation."

These roads would increase Florida panther deaths, hastening their extinction.
The Alachua County Board of County Commissioners on Tuesday voted unanimously to reject plans to build new toll roads across the state. We need to keep applying pressure to keep these roads from being built.
With the need for severe budget cuts, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the state needs to spend its precious tax dollars on critical state needs (education, public health, the unemployed, housing -- the list goes on and on) and should immediately stop wasting money on M-CORES.
