‘Tesla Takedown’ activists rallied in Orlando, debris from failed SpaceX launch temporarily grounded Orlando flights, a swan stopped traffic on the 408 and other news you may have missed last week.

» Orlando activists protest Elon Musk, DOGE as part of national ‘Tesla Takedown’
A crowd of about 40 gathered Saturday, March 8, outside an Orlando Tesla showroom to protest company owner Elon Musk and his governmental initiative, DOGE, as part of a national movement dubbed Tesla Takedown. The emerging grassroots movement promotes a boycott of Tesla in protest of federal job cuts initiated by Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” under the Trump administration. Corey Hill of Orlando for Peace, an organizer of Saturday’s protest in Orlando, says one of the aims of the movement is to drive a decrease in Tesla’s share price, thus targeting Musk’s personal wealth. He said Saturday’s protest was about taking a stance against Musk’s federal governmental decisions, as a billionaire and an unelected adviser to the president, that are affecting all Americans. “These are our Social Security checks that we all paid for that are going to stop coming,” he said. “These are our tsunami warning centers that make sure we’re not hit by a wave while we’re eating breakfast. These are things that impact every single person in this country in their daily lives.” The Tesla Takedown movement has seen local action in cities across the U.S. in the past weeks, including in Chicago and Portland, Oregon, and across Florida in Delray Beach, Fort Myers and Orlando.
» Swan stops traffic, waddles across busy Orlando highway If you honked your car horn on an Orlando highway last Friday, you might have gotten an especially wild honk back. The Orlando Police Department received multiple calls Friday morning regarding an unexpected pedestrian waddling along the Florida 408 East-West Expressway near Bumby Avenue and obstructing traffic: a white swan. Around 7:45 a.m., Orlando police were sent on a wild — um, bird — chase to secure the fowl out of harm’s way. Officers eventually captured the bird after closure of all eastbound lanes. The swan was taken to Lake Eola House for further evaluation, and the examination revealed it is not native to Lake Eola. “Let this serve as another reminder to slow down and stay focused while driving — you never know what you’ll encounter on the road,” Orlando Police stated in a post on X.
Orlando International Airport flights were temporarily grounded last Thursday after a failed launch by Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The Federal Aviation Administration, an agency that has seen several hundreds of firings as a target of the Trump administration’s mass federal layoffs, declared a ground stop at MCO due to “space launch debris” in the area. Departures from South Florida airports including Miami International, Lauderdale-Hollywood International and Palm Beach International were also affected, with some still running behind as late as 9 p.m., the FAA reported. Just minutes after SpaceX launched its largest rocket, Starship, on its eighth test flight from its base in Boca Chica, Texas, the ship spun out of control, exploded and lost contact with SpaceX mission control, according to ABC News. SpaceX said it “will conduct a thorough investigation, in coordination with the FAA, and implement corrective actions to make improvements on future Starship flight tests,” late Thursday. The mishap came less than two months after a Jan. 16 test flight of Starship exploded over the Atlantic just minutes after launch.
» Orlando VA confirms ‘small number’ of job cuts under Trump’s sweeping cost-cutting initiative
The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs is expected to go through a “reorganization” plan under the Trump administration that could cut more than 80,000 VA jobs nationwide, according to a memo obtained by the Associated Press last Wednesday. The plan could affect the Orlando VA Healthcare System, which serves nearly 200,000 veterans across Central Florida. A spokesperson for the local system confirmed to Orlando Weekly that “a small number of probationary staff” had already been dismissed, as part of Trump’s plan to defund federal agencies and scale back the size of the federal government. “This decision will have no negative effect on Veteran health care, benefits or other services and will allow VA to focus more effectively on its core mission of serving Veterans, families, caregivers and survivors,” the local VA spokesperson shared with Orlando Weekly in a statement. The Orlando VA offers a range of health services for eligible veterans, ranging from primary care services to geriatric care, reproductive healthcare, suicide prevention services, and mental health
treatments for veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder and other forms of mental health or substance use disorders. According to the memo, the goal of the job cuts is to get the VA back to its 2019 staffing numbers (read: pre-Biden administration) of about 400,000 department staff nationwide. According to the Washington Post, roughly 6,000 veterans working for the federal government have been laid off. More than 25 percent of the VA’s workforce are themselves veterans. U.S. Rep. Darren Soto, a Democrat from the Orlando area who recently held a town hall at the Orlando VA with U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost, said in a social media post that veterans are “furious” over the Trump administration’s job cuts.
» Wekiwa Springs to require reservations starting this week
Wekiwa Springs State Park will soon become the first Florida park to require visitors to make reservations for day use. The new reservation pilot program kicks off March 12 and lasts through Sept. 1 as part of the park’s efforts to manage high attendance during peak seasons. It’s intended to reduce entry lines that stretch into nearby traffic. To visit the park for the day, guests will need to go to the Florida State Parks reservation page, select their preferred day and prepay the entry fee. The program will apply to all day-use guests, including annual pass holders. Reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance, and day-of reservations are also available until the daily limit has been reached. “By managing entry flow, we can reduce congestion and provide a more serene environment for everyone to explore and enjoy. Additionally, this change will allow our team to better focus on maintaining the park’s trails, facilities and wildlife for future generations,” reads a statement on the park’s webpage. The Park Service will determine whether the program should be continued or expanded after assessing its success at Wekiwa, according to Florida State Parks.

Please stop trying to kill Florida’s national parks and wildlife refuges. We need them to stay open and thriving, not just for the environment but also for our economy
BY CRAIG PITTMAN
Dear Mr. Musk, Hi! We’ve never met, but I feel like we have some things in common. A college dean once dubbed me “the most destructive force on campus,” and you’re clearly the most destructive force in the entire U.S. government. So, we got that going for us, which is nice.
I mean, in running your Department of Government Efficiency, you seem as comfortable riding a wrecking ball as Miley Cyrus! Look at all the stuff your unleashed DOGE has wrecked in just a month’s time — Social Security, Veterans Affairs, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (see page 15).
You even had the gall to lay off air traffic controllers right after the deadliest crash in the U.S. since 2001 and to fire weather forecasters right after a season full of hurricanes (see page 15).
Thousands of federal employees have been fired (albeit illegally). Entire agencies shuttered. The millions of poor people they serve abruptly kicked to the curb at the behest of the world’s wealthiest man (again, see page 15). It’s enough to make those old bomb-throwing anarchists of the 1920s weep for joy.
Sure, there have been pointed jokes that YOU’RE the immigrant who’s come to steal all those jobs. Persnickety reporters have pointed out that the math on this massive purge doesn’t work. And, of course, there have been gobs of angry protesters at Tesla dealerships (see page 7).
But hey, you know what they say: “You can’t make an omelet without firing a bunch of veterans.” (See also page 7.)
However, I want to warn you about one big mistake you’re making. You have GOT to stop
I like our national parks. I’m saying you need to stop because we really depend on them in Florida for a big chunk of our tourism trade. If your cuts trash our national parks, you’ll crash our economy.
Unless, of course, that’s your intention. In that case, you’re right on target for blowing up the whole system and leaving nothing but a big crater. But I beg you, please don’t.
AMERICA’S BEST IDEA
Pull out a map, Mr. M, and marvel at how much federal parkland is in Florida.
From the Gulf Islands National Seashore near Pensacola to the Dry Tortugas southwest of Key West, we’ve got 11 national parks, plus preserves, refuges and monuments all across the state. We’ve even got one that goes underwater, Biscayne National Park.
In 2023, more than 13 million people visited them, creating an economic boon of $1.4 billion to the economy, according to the Palm Beach Post.
If you fire the rangers who tend to those parks, the places will fall apart and then shut down. The visitors will stop coming. The ancillary businesses that depend on the parks — hotels and motels, airboat tours, kayak rentals, bait shops and so forth — will see their traffic and profits shrivel up.
None of us wants that.
Perhaps you’re under some false impression about what these parks are for. Maybe you think they’re like New York’s Central Park — a green space in a gray place, full of park benches and playgrounds, nothing more. But that’s not the case.
“Ken Burns called the national park system ‘America’s best idea,’ and there’s a lot of truth in that,” said Mark Woods, a Jacksonville newspaper columnist who’s written an award-winning book about spending a year visiting parks across the country called Lassoing the Sun “These parks are places where I go and I feel proud to be an American.”
When he’s chatted with foreign visitors in the parks, Woods told me, “They say, ‘We don’t have national parks like you do.’”
firing park rangers. Your dodgy DOGE has been laying off rangers and scientists left and right.
This must stop before you do irreparable damage to the people’s property.
“Quite simply and astonishingly, this is dismantling the National Park Service as we know it, ranger by ranger and brick by brick,” said Theresa Pierno, president and CEO of the National Parks Conservation Association.
Eve Samples, executive director of Friends of the Everglades, told me that, so far, she’s heard of at least 25 rangers and scientists who have been laid off or fired from Florida’s national parks, refuges and seashores.
That’s a cut deeper than any made by slash-happy movie monster Freddy Krueger. I am not saying you should stop just because
He pointed out that your dogged DOGE is supposed to be sniffing out waste and fraud. But the rangers losing their jobs are people who do essential services, such as cleaning the toilets, rescuing hikers in trouble, and keeping the park trails clear of obstructions.
‘They’ve been underfunded for a while, too,” Woods said.
I looked it up and he’s right. In 2023, a top official of the National Parks Service told Congress, “The NPS has more assets than staff and funding to adequately operate and maintain them.”
Now here you are, Mr. Musk, telling the painfully skinny park service that it’s overweight and needs to lose a lot of pounds. That makes no sense at all.

Bad DOGE, do not bite our national parks | Illustration by David Loyola
[continued from page 9]
Heck, from what I’ve read, those park rangers that you’re trying to oust make a lot less money than the staffers on your dopey DOGE division. Considering the number of errors DOGE has made, I think your Musk-ovite minions are overpaid.
A VISIT TO LOXAHATCHEE
I have read that you’re renting a $2,000-a-night bungalow at Mar-a-Lago. That means you’re just 20 miles away from one of Florida’s great environmental preserves, the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge in Boynton Beach. You should take a day off from destroying the government and go take a gander at this place.
According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Loxahatchee refuge is “one of the largest urban wildlife refuges in the nation with more than 145,000 acres of land where visitors can unplug from the stresses of daily life and reconnect with our natural surroundings.”
Lots of people go to the refuge to bike, hike, fish, look at birds, or paddle their canoes and kayaks, said Michelle Hendricks, president of the Friends of the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. But refuges are not the same as parks, she told me.
“Parks are a refuge for people,” she said. “The refuges are maintained for the animals.” Loxahatchee in particular is pretty special. According to Hendricks, it’s “one of the last remaining intact parcels of the once-vast Everglades.”
Within its boundaries you’ll find wet prairies, sloughs, a 400-acre cypress swamp, and around 47,000 tree islands that the Native Americans regard as sacred. As for animals, it’s full of alligators, bobcats, sandhill cranes, white tail deer and 40 kinds of butterflies.
Not a lot of people know this, but the whole darn national wildlife refuge system started in Florida with a place near Vero Beach called Pelican Island.
Poachers were swarming the island to kill pelicans and use their feathers to decorate ladies’ hats. In 1903, a fledgling organization called the Audubon Society persuaded then-President Teddy Roosevelt to set that island aside as a refuge for the birds.
Soon the refuge idea spread all over the country, and then other countries copied the idea, creating their own refuges.
Florida alone has 29 national wildlife refuges, including one for manatees, one for Florida panthers and one for Key deer. That’s the third most of any state, after California and North Dakota.
Now you want to cut their staff like it was just another interchangeable fast-food franchise location. But they’re not. They’re a rare piece of living American history that’s also good for preserving the environment.
Does this help you see what’s wrong with ripping up the refuge staff? I sure hope so.
But that’s not even the worst of what you’ve done. For that, we have to look further south.
THE EVERGLADES PRESIDENT?
Let me give you another little history lesson. In September 2020, that fellow you supposedly work for who owns a club in Palm Beach went to Jupiter and held a big event to declare his undying commitment to Everglades restoration.
Lots of Florida Republicans fell all over themselves praising him for this. Gov. Ron DeSastrous — er, excuse me, DeSantis — told reporters, “President Trump understands that restoring Florida’s Everglades is critical to the economic growth and well-being of our state.”
And Sen. Marco Rubio went so far as to predict he’d go down in history as the “Everglades President.”
Now, five years later, here you come trying to chop up the whole thing like it’s a slab of meat on a butcher’s block.
Not only are you laying off park rangers and scientists in Everglades National Park who’ve been working on the multibillion-dollar project that’s been going on for 25 years. It’s worse than that.
You’re also kicking people out of their offices.
“In its bid to cut costs, the Department of Government Efficiency has ended leases around the country, including at the Florida office staffed with hundreds of federal workers focused on Everglades restoration and maintaining beaches across the state,” the Miami Herald reported.
That would be the Jacksonville office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, their main HQ in Florida, which contains about 800 people. I’ve been there, Mr. Musk. I didn’t see any solid gold doorknobs or diamond-encrusted toilets. Just a lot of hard-working people.
The Army’s lease on its Jacksonville offices is supposed to run until 2027, but your folks have notified the lessee that the federal government would now like to end it in August of this year. And exactly where will those hardworking but suddenly homeless engineers go next? No word on that one.
The Herald caught the irony in this move, by the way.
“The move to close down the Corps’ Florida headquarters comes amid a simultaneous federal push to send all remote workers back to the office,” the paper reported. “Dozens of federal employees near the Jacksonville office had already sought to work in person at the massive office in order to comply with the new directive.”
The Corps’ office is not the only important lease your flunkies want to fling into the garbage can. They also want to shutter the South Florida Natural Resources Center, which does the science for four national parks: Everglades, Big Cypress, Biscayne and Dry Tortugas.
Losing these two offices would cause untold complications for the future of the River of Grass. First authorized by Congress and the Legislature in 2000, the Everglades restoration project is the largest environmental restoration ever, covering an area the size of New Jersey. After 25 years, we’re only now starting to see some results from the work, but there’s a lot more to do.
We just don’t have the time to make all
these folks pack up their desks and move somewhere else.
“We’re especially concerned about those cuts,” Samples of Friends of the Everglades told me. “We want to keep Everglades restoration on track. This is a time for doubling down on restoration, not throwing up roadblocks.”
And Melissa Abdo, Sun Coast regional director of the National Parks Conservation Association, made a similar point, reminding me that the Everglades restoration program has always drawn bipartisan support.
“It would be senseless to undermine this program just when we’ve started making some progress,” Abdo said. “We can’t advance the work of restoring the Everglades without these experts.”
There’s one more reason why these particular cuts of yours are a bad idea. The Everglades project isn’t just about fixing the damage done to the environment. It’s about keeping South Florida livable. You know, that place where you and your boss live.
KEEP THE WATER FLOWING
The reason why there was such widespread support for Everglades restoration was that it didn’t just benefit the River of Grass.
It benefited the growing population of South Florida, too.
The destruction done to the Everglades in the mid-20th century harmed the water supply for the growing population there. That’s why,
when it came time to sell politicians on the fix, they were reassured that the restoration project would also guarantee the supply of fresh water for the booming cities on the Atlantic coast. They need 300 million gallons of water daily.
So, Mr. Musk, by jeopardizing Everglades restoration, you’re also jeopardizing the South Florida fresh water supply that makes the faucets and sprinklers at Mar-a-Lago work. I don’t think your boss is going to like that.
Here’s my suggestion. You should announce that your dumb DOGE made a mistake and America’s park rangers and other seashore and refuge employees will all be reinstated with full pay. And then you very dramatically pull a wad of bills out of your own pocket and start peeling them off and laying them down like a Baptist deacon who hit the lottery and is filling up the offering plate.
You then announce that you, personally, are putting up $100 million to repair anything that needs to be fixed in the park system. Then, if there’s any money left over, it will be used to boost the rangers’ pay.
Oh, and whatever you do, do NOT finish up by throwing your right hand in the air. Do you Nazi how wrong that would be?

THE ANTI-UNION WISHLIST
Florida Republicans’ latest slate of anti-union bills closely resemble draft legislation pitched by the Freedom Foundation, a billionairefunded conservative think tank
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Republican state lawmakers have filed a quartet of bills for Florida’s 2025 legislative session targeting public sector unions that appear to be drawn from legislation drafted by an anti-union think tank.
Legislation filed last week by Florida Sen. Blaise Ingoglia, Rep. Jenna Persons-Mulicka, Rep. Dean Black and Sen. Randy Fine — all Republicans — represents the latest effort by at least a handful of Florida Republicans to undermine labor unions in Florida that represent thousands of state and local government employees, from classroom teachers to public utility workers, 911 dispatchers and librarians.
A 2023 law, similarly backed by out-of-state think tanks, has already dealt a major blow to public sector unions. The law prevented union members from paying union dues through a paycheck deduction (the most convenient way to do so) while also requiring a higher percentage of them to pay dues in order for the union to remain certified (that is, valid in the state’s eyes).
Because of Florida’s right-to-work law — an anti-union policy initially championed by Southern segregationists in the mid-20th century — no worker can be forced to pay union dues, even if they benefit from having union representation. Unions representing cops, firefighters and correctional officers, which generally endorse Republicans for office, were exempted from Florida’s 2023 union regulations — mostly.
Its impact has been broad. So far, state records show that more than 100 unions have been wiped out since the 2023 law was fully adopted, affecting more than 68,000 public employees in Florida who are no longer covered by contracts guaranteeing things such as pay raises, just-cause protections, and workplace safety rules. Maintenance and other workers at the University of South Florida saw their jobs privatized, without having any say in the matter, after the dissolution of their union.
“People had the protection of a union contract, the CBA [collective bargaining agreement], behind them one day and the next day
a union election. Currently, winning a union election requires a vote of support from a majority of workers who vote — not the number of workers, total.
Delay re-organizing efforts: Prevent workers from re-forming a union for at least 12 months following the decertification or dissolution of their former union.
A review by Orlando Weekly also found that several provisions of the 67-page proposal are nearly identical to a proposal originally pitched by an out-of-state anti-union group called the Freedom Foundation.
Founded in Washington state, the Freedom Foundation is a right-wing think tank that describes itself as a “battle tank that’s battering the entrenched power of left-wing government union bosses who represent a permanent lobby for bigger government, higher taxes, and radical social agendas.”
faculty, in addition to state-employed attorneys, nurses, and other local and state government employees haven’t fared as well.
“It’s just embarrassing that in a state where people are struggling with rising costs, where people are struggling to pay their bills, to pay their rent, to buy groceries — that there are some in this Legislature who continue to focus on making it harder for those people,” said Spar.
HEADING OFF STRIKES
it’s gone,” Todd Provost, a union official with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 606, explained to Orlando Weekly in a recent interview. “They can just get their wages cut, their benefits cut, and all protections whatsoever, just overnight.”
But apparently that’s not good enough for several Republicans in the state Legislature who are now pushing to take the 2023 “union killer” law further.
The latest bills filed for consideration during the 2025 legislative session (HB 1387/SB 1766 and HB 1217/SB 1328) would make it harder for public employees to form a union in the first place, and even harder for them to maintain the union they already have.
If approved by Florida’s GOP-controlled legislature and Gov. Ron DeSantis, the legislation would: Gut voluntary recognition: It would get rid of an option that allows public employers to voluntarily recognize a union, provided the union can demonstrate a majority of workers are in support of joining. This process, known as voluntary union recognition or a “card check,” allows workers to avoid going through a lengthy election process and to avoid potential intimidation from employers that would prefer to remain union-free. Several red states have sought to undermine this process in recent years.
One of its chief lobbyists in the U.S. South, Russell “Rusty” Brown, is a former “union avoidance consultant” (aka a union-buster) appointed to the U.S. Department of Labor by then-President Trump during his first term in the White House. Brown testified in favor of Florida’s 2023 anti-union law ahead of its passage, and has admitted the Freedom Foundation was involved in its drafting.
An analysis by the Center for Media and Democracy found that the Freedom Foundation — a 501(c)3 registered nonprofit that’s not required to disclose its donors — has received significant funding over the years from rightwing organizations like the Bradley Foundation (known for backing efforts to defund and get rid of unions) and the Charles Koch Foundation (affiliated with the late billionaire, who had a reputation for anti-union endeavors).
The group is also an affiliate of the right-wing State Policy Network, a network of right-wing think tanks that peddle similar anti-union bills to state lawmakers elsewhere.
“They can just get their wages cut, their benefits cut, and all protections whatsoever, just overnight.”
Ban “duty release”: This is a practice that allows union members to take paid time off to engage in certain union activities, including political advocacy and attending union meetings.
Majority vote: Require that a majority of workers vote in favor of forming or recertifying their union in order for the union to prevail in
Andrew Spar, a former music teacher and president of the statewide teachers union, described the attacks on public sector unions as embarrassing. “We want our union, and we want this nonsense of making us jump through hoops to keep our union and to negotiate fair pay, fair benefits and fair working conditions to stop,” he told Orlando Weekly. His union, the Florida Education Association, represents more than 150,000 teachers and other school staff statewide.
Although teachers and higher-ed faculty were widely perceived as the target of the 2023 law, so far, all K-12 teachers unions have remained intact. Unions representing thousands of adjunct
One of the more prominent similarities the new legislation has to the Freedom Foundation’s draft is a provision calling for a significant increase to fines that public employees unions — and union officials — can be forced to pay if union members participate in a strike action. Under Florida’s state constitution, strikes by public employees are strictly prohibited. The same is true in at least 36 other states, as of 2023. Public employees who do strike in Florida, including teachers and cops alike, could risk losing their jobs. Unions representing them can be decertified and fined for each day workers are out on strike.
Currently, each union officer, representative or agent can be fined between $50 to $100 a day for each calendar day of a strike. The union itself can be fined up to $20,000 per day for a strike action if the employer files a lawsuit to enjoin the action and a judge subsequently issues an injunction. This latest proposal would more than quadruple these fines, allowing union officials to be fined anywhere between $300 to $600 each day of a strike. The union itself could face a fine of up to $120,000 per day for violating an injunction.
A staffer for the Freedom Foundation explained in an annotated Word document, obtained by Orlando Weekly last year, that this increase was intended as an adjustment for “inflation.”
“These amounts haven’t been adjusted for inflation since the state collective bargaining law was passed in 1974,” wrote Maxford Nelsen, director of research and government affairs for the Freedom Foundation, in a document emailed to Sen. Ingoglia on Oct. 16, 2023.“The amended amounts are rounded from the [Consumer Price Index].”
Sen. Ingoglia did not respond to a request for comment from Orlando Weekly about his legislation, or its similarities to the Freedom Foundation’s proposal. Neither did Rep. Jenna Persons-Mulicka, the House sponsor, who is better known for sponsoring Florida’s six-week abortion ban in 2023.
The motivation for the change is unclear. Public employee strikes in Florida are extremely rare. From what we can tell, the last major strike by local or state government workers in Florida was a statewide teachers’ strike in 1968, spurred by familiar issues such as frustration over underfunded schools and low teacher pay.
Public employee strikes have been illegal in Florida since 1959. Still, thousands of teachers reportedly participated in the illegal 1968 action.
[continued on page 15]
[continued from page 13]
“Teachers across the state really just had enough,” Joanne McCall, a former president of the statewide teachers union, told WFSU in 2018. “So they gathered at what is the Citrus Bowl now in Orlando — the old Tangerine Bowl is what it was called then — and they had this big rally.”
The Freedom Foundation, which recently lost an effort to dismantle the Miami-Dade County teachers’ union, did not respond to a request for comment on why they believe it’s important for Florida to update its fines for illegal strikes, beyond this burning need to adjust for inflation.
A spokesperson did tell us, however, that they believe the similarities between their proposals and the legislation filed by Florida lawmakers signals that the state agency that enforces public sector labor laws — the Public Employees Relations Commission — concurs with their ideas.
“The fact that the bill closely mirrors the Freedom Foundation’s draft underscores that overhauling the labor relations statute … was a key priority for the agency,” Arielle Brown, vice president of communications for the Freedom Foundation, told Orlando Weekly over email.
While Florida hasn’t seen a public employee strike in decades, they have popped up in other states that similarly ban such actions. Teachers in three Massachusetts school districts for instance took a risky move by striking last November, an action fueled by demands for smaller class sizes, paid parental leave and a “living wage” for paraprofessionals.
That action came six years after teachers in GOP-controlled West Virginia similarly walked out on strike in 2018, in violation of state law. The illegal strike action, birthing the so-called Red for Ed movement, spread to other red states, too.
“Educators in Arizona, Kentucky and Oklahoma went on illegal wildcat strikes to fight against the poverty wages and chronically underfunded schools that were resulting in both intolerable working conditions and learning conditions,” wrote social studies teacher Jacobin Goodwin in a 2023 article for The Progressive about the Red for Ed movement.
“Since then, the movement has seen ebbs and flows. But that’s the nature of organizing. There is no straight line of progress, but instead waves that slowly and determinedly wash against the shores — little by little changing the landscape.”
Although strike actions aren’t common in Florida — even in the private sector — the proposed legislation appears to be preemptively disincentivizing such actions from taking place.
According to a new report from labor researchers at Cornell University and the University of Illinois, the U.S. broadly saw more than 350 work stoppages in 2024 alone, including a strike involving thousands of AT&T workers in Florida and across the U.S. South over a lack of progress made in contract negotiations. Dockworkers at Port Tampa Bay also went on strike last year, along with other dockworkers along the East Coast. mschueler@orlandoweekly.com
‘NO KINGS’
Orlando Congressman Maxwell Frost walked out of Trump’s speech to Congress in protest
BY MCKENNA SCHUELER
Orlando-area U.S. Congressman Maxwell Frost joined fellow progressive U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas last week in walking out on President Donald Trump’s joint speech to Congress, prompting several of their colleagues to follow suit, according to The New Republic
Frost, a second-term Congressman and vocal critic of Trump, reportedly walked out early wearing a simple black T-shirt with the phrase “NO KINGS LIVE HERE” printed on the back — a reference to a recent social media post made by Trump where he compared himself to a king.
“Donald Trump is many things — a liar, a grifter, a wanna-be-dictator — but no matter how hard he tries and how many Republicans in Congress bend the knee and kiss the ring: He will never be king,” Frost declared in a statement.
His colleague Crockett similarly walked out in a T-shirt printed with the slogan “RESIST.”
According to Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman,“a number of House Democrats” subsequently turned their backs on Trump, displaying
attempt to cut federal spending.
According to the American Federation of Government Employees — a labor union that represents federal employees — the Environmental Protection Agency is slated to cut 65 percent of its workforce under the Trump administration’s so-called “workforce optimization initiative,” while the Department of Housing and Urban Development is also expected to see major cuts. According to the Economic Policy Institute, more than 150,000 federal government employees who stand to be affected by workforce reduction efforts live in Florida, including roughly 17,000 in the Orlando metro area alone.
Protest through fashion last night at Trump’s speech was reportedly a theme, following a letter issued by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Monday urging his colleagues “to have a strong, determined and dignified Democratic presence in the chamber.”Several Democrats in Congress also wore pink to the speech Tuesday, with Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-New Mexico) explaining the fashion choice as an effort to “raise the alarm about the negative impacts [Trump’s] policies are having on women.”
“Our safety and security is at risk,” Leger Fernandez told the Washington Post. “They are cutting the programs to protect women who have suffered from rape, from domestic violence, from abuse.” Then there’s the new tariffs levied by the Trump administration on China, Mexico and Canada that one analysis estimates could cost the average U.S. family at least $1,600 or more per year, due to anticipated price hikes on imported consumer goods like clothing and vegetables.
U.S. Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) meanwhile went beyond fashion choice (or the silent sign-holding adopted by some other Democrats) by standing up in the House Chamber and interrupting Trump (or as CNN put it, “heckling”) during Trump’s opening remarks, ahead of Frost’s walkout.
their own “RESIST” shirts, and “a number of them” then walked out of the House chamber.
Now six weeks into his presidency, Trump’s joint address to Congress — a fairly standard affair for U.S. presidents — was soured for many this year by a slew of executive orders and other directives the Trump administration has made since his return to the White House targeting the federal workforce, undocumented immigrants, and diversity initiatives, in addition to disruptions so far to the United States’ relationships to some foreign governments and groups like the World Health Organization.
Even so, Trump told Congress in his speech last Tuesday that he’s “just getting started.”
“We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years, and we are just getting started,” Trump claimed.
Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), unofficially led by tech billionaire Elon Musk, has caused chaos and confusion among federal agencies in a half-baked
Following several warnings, after refusing to sit back down, House Speaker Mike Johnson then called on the sergeant-at-arms to forcibly remove the 77-year-old Democrat from the Chamber. Green, who criticized Trump over floated proposals to defund Medicaid and Social Security programs, reportedly told the press afterward that he saw speaking up as the best way to “get across to a person who uses his incivility against our civility.”
Frost, for his part, similarly called out Trump for failing to address the needs of working families in his bit of political theater.
“Tonight, the American people saw a desperate liar stand in front of a podium and spit out excuse after excuse as to why he hasn’t been able to make your life better,” Frost shared in a statement Tuesday night. “Why he can’t make eggs cheaper, why he can’t lower housing costs, why the stock market is tanking under his watch, why innocent immigrants and trans people are to blame.”
It’s “all lies,” Frost said. “The people of this country are seeing right through the lies. We won’t let up.”

SICK DAYS
Florida confirmed a measles case last week — so far, it’s the first reported case this year, but it’s unlikely to be the last
BY COLIN WOLF
Measles, a disease that was considered eradicated in the United States 25 years ago, is making a roaring comeback thanks to parents choosing not to vaccinate their kids. And now a case has officially been confirmed in a Florida school.
According to WFOR, Miami Palmetto Senior High School in Pinecrest sent an email to parents
warning that an unidentified student had been diagnosed with measles, adding that the risk of transmission for vaccinated students is low.
“We want to inform you that a student at Miami Palmetto Senior High has been diagnosed with measles,” read the email. “While the risk of transmission may be low for vaccinated individuals, we are taking all necessary
precautions while working closely with local health authorities to ensure the health and safety of our school community. As part of the District’s and local health department’s protocols, the local health department will notify parents and guardians of students who had close contact with the student.”
The school said it would host a free vaccination drive on March 10, with parental consent.
The measles case, which was the first reported in the state of Florida this year, came after cases have rapidly spread across Texas since January. So far, 159 people have been diagnosed in Texas.
Twenty of those patients have been hospitalized, and most cases are in children aged 5-17 years old. One of the cases involved the death of a “healthy but unvaccinated” 6-year-old, which was the first measles death in over a decade. [Editor’s note: As we went to press Monday, a second measles death was reported, this one in New Mexico.]
In an essay published on the Fox News website
last Sunday, Health Secretary and notorious anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. seemed to backpedal on previous statements about the recent measles outbreak, calling it “serious” after previously describing it as “not unusual.”
Most notably, the man whose brain was literally eaten by a worm encouraged parents to discuss vaccinations with their doctors, noting that vaccines “not only protect individual children from measles, but also contribute to community immunity, protecting those who are unable to be vaccinated due to medical reasons.”
According to the Centers of Disease Control, measles is highly contagious, and if one person is infected, “up to 9 out of 10 people nearby will become infected if they are not protected.”
“Measles can cause serious health complications, especially in children younger than 5 years of age,” says the CDC. “Common complications are ear infections and diarrhea. Serious complications include pneumonia and encephalitis.”

RASH DECISIONS
Florida surgeon general insists measles vaccine is up to parents, recommends Vitamin A as an option for treatment
BY JACKIE LLANOS, FLORIDA PHOENIX
Once again, Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo is emphasizing parents’ rights to send their kids to school unvaccinated following a report last week of a measles case in a Miami-Dade County high school.
Ladapo insisted during a press conference in Tampa that his approach this time would be the same as last year, when a Broward County elementary school saw nine cases of measles. (However, Ladapo mistakenly said the cases
emerged in Brevard County.)
“Many people had sort of a cerebral event when we said that if a kid is healthy, whether that kid is vaccinated or not, as long as the kid is healthy, that kid can go to school.
“It’s up to the parents,” Ladapo said.
The surgeon general said vaccines are available for parents who want them and recommended Vitamin A as an option to treat someone severely ill with the virus he labeled as one of the most contagious in existence.
Both the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend Vitamin A for children infected with the virus.
“Let me just pull out my crystal ball here,” he
said sarcastically. “No, I don’t know how many more cases there are going to be … because measles is extremely contagious. I mean it’s probably one of the most contagious viruses in existence.”
Meanwhile, Texas is dealing with the largest measles outbreak in 30 years, which has killed an unvaccinated child and led to at least 158 cases, according to the Texas Tribune.

Fringe fave Paul Strickland presents an evening of musical yarnspinning and tall-taling in grand Gilded Age style at Judson’s
Given the current rate of our culture’s collapse, I expect it won’t be long before our entertainment options are reduced to their neolithic origins, with itinerant storytellers sharing sacred parables to keep the shadows at bay.
When that happens, there’s no troubadour whose campfire I’d rather be sheltering around than Paul Strickland (ainttrue.com), an award-winning featured performer at major national and international storytelling festivals who first found his footing right here in Orlando. And if you don’t want to wait until the post-electric apocalypse, you can enjoy Strickland’s musical yarn-spinning in grand Gilded Age style Wednesday, March 19, when the Dr. Phillips Center’s luxe Judson’s Live hosts him for an intimate evening of Half Truths and Full Of-Its
I was among the eight or so patrons in attendance when Strickland first took up storytelling nearly 15 years ago, on opening night of the 2010 Orlando Fringe Festival. “That was my first ever performance, and it was great,” Strickland recalls during a recent conversation at my home, where he and his partner, Erika Kate MacDonald, have frequently billeted over the years. “It was really cool, because y’all were a good audience. So that was my first ever performance there, and at the time it was my first solo show that involved any kind of narrative whatsoever.”
Strickland, who had previously been touring comedy clubs with a divorce-centric stand-up set, “couldn’t really talk about my divorce in a way that was satisfying for me in the comedy club setting, because I didn’t hate my ex-wife. Maybe if I’d stayed with stand-up longer and grown with it more, maybe I could have done more with that. But at the time I just felt very limited by the form to talk about what I wanted to talk
about, which was the complicated relationship I had with my divorce.”
Taking inspiration from solo performers like Kevin J. Thornton, and “just the normal amount of ignorant optimism with which I start any project,” Strickland channeled his experiences into 2010’s Brighter Shade of Blue, which I named an Orlando Weekly “Best of the Fest” pick. He says that initial show’s success “went beyond my wildest dreams,” and solidified his drive to further experiment with fictional storytelling.
Mining content from an “unreadable novel” he’d written, Strickland then debuted his breakout hit Ain’t True and Uncle False in 2013, kicking off his “Trailer Park Trilogy” of magical-realist tall tales featuring the Big Fib Trailer Park cul-de-sac. “That launched essentially my entire national/international Fringe career [and] was my flagship show for a long time. That’s the show I took all over the continent, and also introduced me into the traditional storytelling world, which is where I do a lot of my work today.”
After more than a decade on the storytelling circuit, Strickland says he’s grown “less scared to trust an audience now than I was when I started coming from a stand up-world, where it’s instant gratification — where everything I say culminates in a laugh, or I’ve failed. I’m still using a lot of the comedic techniques that I learned over that time, but I’m focusing more on creating arcs and taking the audience on a journey, and allowing that to take the time that it takes.”
Although his earlier shows centered around his original characters, lately Strickland has been on a quest to reconnect adults with traditional southern American folktales. “Adults think they won’t like a folk- or a fairytale until you show
them otherwise,” he says. “I am trying to show you that you can see yourself inside these stories, and that there are very valuable lessons [and] ideas from the past that we can contemporize and still use today.”
COVID crippled the careers of many storytellers, but Strickland says his 2024 was even busier than 2019. He spent 174 days performing in theaters and libraries across the country, and barely 100 nights in his own Covington, Kentucky, home. Strickland’s solo Judson’s appearance showcases his newest concept, which he says is “mostly going to be straight-down-the-middle tall tales,” including one about an abandoned baby lightning bolt that was a highlight of his last FestN4 show, Untroubador 2.0.
“If you are a person who has seen a lot of my shows over the years, it’ll be a little bit of a greatest hits with at least one or two brand-new stories in there, and quite a few songs thrown in the mix as well,” he says.
Judson’s Live is likely the poshest Orlando venue Strickland has ever played, but he’s certain it won’t be his last. “Being a ‘true fictionalist’ fulltime is not a thing that your guidance counselor suggests; I feel like it’s a thing that you have to find over time, and the Orlando theater community — specifically the Fringe community — was really integral in that process for me,” says Strickland. “It took me a while to really feel like I was at a proficient level doing it, but Orlando was where it started, [and] we come here often to premiere material — multiple times in a year, sometimes — because there is audience here that is willing to take the journeys that we’re excited to take them on.”

Iron Lung returns to Florida for the Marching Orders punk weekender
BY TYLER BARNEY
“I’ll tell you what I like: I like Orlando, Florida. Can’t wait to be there.”
sharing vocal duties. Released in 2001, the first Iron Lung demo introduced the duo’s ongoing focus on medical themes — complete with a syringe to get the point across.
Ward traces the clinical curiosity back to his childhood. “My dad died of lung cancer when I was 6 years old,” he says. “So when I was very young, I spent a fair amount of time in a hospital because that’s where he lived.”
His interest in the apparatus only grew with age. Learning in school about “all these brutal things that happen throughout the course of history, the medical side of it always kind of stuck out to me,” Ward says.
MARCHING ORDERS VOL. 1

Iron Lung channeled this chest-pounding sensation into an aural assault that caught the ears of San Francisco label Enterruption, who released the duo’s mutant fusion of grindcore, powerviolence, noise and [checks notes] comedy on a live cassette in 2001.
After releasing their first studio albums through punk staples 625 Thrashcore and Prank, Kortland and Ward decided they should create a label for themselves. They established Iron Lung Records in 2007 as a means to further distribute their own music and that of like-minded artists — regardless of genre — while maintaining the band’s partnership with its previous labels.
“When we started our label, the first few releases we put out were not bands that sounded even remotely like our band,” Ward says. “I think a lot of people questioned why we would put out a record for a band like Lords of Light or Eddy Current Suppression Ring, and we’re like, ‘Because they’re fucking good and we like them.’” He adds, “I think we needed to draw a line somewhere and be like,‘This is what we like, and this is what we don’t like.’ But we don’t really go around calling out everything we don’t like, because that’s just kind of rude.”
Echoing the ethos of early punk labels like Crass and Dischord, Iron Lung keeps the DIY spirit alive by taking matters into their own hands — even if they rarely reside in the same state. “We don’t get together as often as we’d like to,” says Ward, a longtime Seattleite (Kortland is visiting from Reno),“but when we do, we certainly make the most of it. Like right now, when we’re doing this interview, we’re stuffing records. So even while we’re interviewing, we’re still doing other work that is best done together.”
In addition to Iron Lung, Kortland and Ward each have multiple side projects. During a recent Florida tour with one of Ward’s other bands, Fashion Change, he became fast friends with Tallahassee punks Protocol.
“They’re a great bunch of people who do a lot for Florida. Between Protocol, Armor, Ideation and all the other bands those guys are playing in, they’ve brought so much attention to Tallahassee specifically and Florida punk in general,” says Ward. “I think that’s a wonderful thing they’re doing, because all their bands are really high-quality and they make good music, and they’re fucking great live.”
Operating under the moniker Iron Lung, Jon Kortland and Jensen Ward have breathed fresh air into the extreme music scene for over two decades. The Reno natives first met in the early aughts at punk and metal shows where Kortland sold albums. “I bought some records from him one time,” Ward recalls. “Then we started talking, and now we’re lifelong work friends.”
They soon formed a band, Iron Lung, with Ward on drums, Kortland on guitar and both
“It all culminated when I started reading up on polio and past epidemics. The iron lung is such a brutal machine, because it physically forces your body to breathe,” Ward explains. “Like when you get the wind knocked out of you, this machine just does that over and over and over again all day, every day so you can survive.”
Iron Lung (and Fashion Change, to boot) return to the Sunshine State alongside Protocol, Ideation and more of the finest acts in modern hardcore for the Marching Orders Vol. 1 fest happening this weekend at Will’s Pub. See you in the pit. music@orlandoweekly.com

LOCAL RELEASES
You don’t have to dig too deep in the rock underground to know that grunge is gold again. But power trio Gamma Waves have been preaching it for many years. In Orlando, they’ve long been one of the purest and best disciples of the form. They’re not one of these bands who’ve newly gilded their indie rock with grunge. For Gamma Waves, it’s their guiding thrust.
Moreover, singer-guitarist Brian Czompi, bassist Jeremy Czompi and drummer Dalton Bennett aren’t descendants of the more radioready side of grunge that gave rise to an entire generation of abysmal post-grunge commercial dreck. Like Trash Cinema, Gamma Waves follow the true grunge gospel. They even tapped legendary Seattle producer Jack Endino (Nirvana, Mudhoney, Soundgarden) to master their last two releases, for Kurt’s sake.
Gamma Waves recently released Sounds From Another World, their first full-length album in five years and the first one the band recorded on their own. Rather than rewrite any rules, this new collection simply sharpens their heavy hatchet. It’s 10 songs of hairy rock smeared with muddy blues and sludgy noise.
Sounds From Another World now streams everywhere, and is available physically as a very limited cassette edition (50 copies).

Apes of the State specialize in an especially spirited brand of folk punk that features great touches of bluegrass. Rounding out the bill will be the scrappy affability of Gainesville’s Confession Kids. (8 p.m. Thursday, March 13, Uncle Lou’s, $15)
Kraftwerk: There’s a reason why so many acts have borrowed a page, a hook or a beat from the supremely seminal Kraftwerk. In their 1970s prime, the legendary German electro godfathers weren’t just strikingly original in conception, they were absolutely perfect in execution. It’s a formula that inevitably made them the source material and direct inspiration for a stunningly wide swath of acts throughout history from Afrika Bambaataa to Devo.
In fact, Kraftwerk are much more than just a
band. Their robo-pop futurism is a holistic thing that encompasses high concept and aesthetic. The Kraftwerk phenomenon isn’t just sound, it’s imagery and ideology. Beyond the ideas, this is a group that distilled it all down to an immaculate and iconic essence. Kraftwerk are an artistic ideal. Their 2022 appearance in Orlando was a stunning multimedia affair that validated every ounce of their legend, one impressive enough for both audience and artist alike that they’re back so quickly. Kraftwerk will make a triumphant return to the Dr. Phillips Center, but this time they’ll be in Steinmetz Hall. The city’s most stateof-the-art performance space is probably the least we could provide to host one of the most visionary and pioneering art groups in modern history once again. (8 p.m. Wednesday, March 19, Steinmetz Hall, $59.50-$269)
Steve Poltz, Hannah Stokes: That longtime San Diego scene mover Steve Poltz was a creative and romantic partner of Jewel (he co-wrote her smash hit “You Were Meant for Me”) is one of those big, headline-stealing historical facts that tends to eclipse the rest of his profile. Between his own solo work and early work with indie-rock cult heroes The Rugburns, Poltz cut his path the good old-fashioned way as a lifelong road dog, DIY hero and folk artist of quirk and quality. What’s well-known locally, however, is opening Orlando musician Hannah Stokes, a young artist who’s distinguished herself as not just a talented folk-soul voice but a champion of the native singer-songwriter scene who hosts regular showcases around town. Together, it’ll be an encounter with the true grassroots. (8 p.m. Wednesday, March. 19, Tuffy’s Music Box, $20-$120) baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com

Laughs in Spanish
The Renaissance Theatre Company continues pushing Orlando theater forward with original production Laughs in Spanish. Set in Miami during Art Basel Miami Beach, the play merges the stylistic tropes of telenovelas with Clue and a metric ton of knowing winks and nods — but as per usual for the Ren, with heart. On the eve of the annual art fair-cum-party, Studio Six gallery owner Mariana finds her walls stripped bare. From there it’s a mystery of errors as friends, family and old “roommates” come out of the woodwork to save the show … or not. Laughs is directed by Cherry Gonzalez and written by Alexis Scheer, and stars Marisol Robles, Isabel Bernal, Danielle Bloom, Jonathan Gardon and Angela Cotto.

Marty!
This is Mister Marty (A556497), one of our longest residents and a survivor in every sense of the word. We’ve grown so accustomed to him being a part of our shelter, it feels as though he’s always been here. But the truth is, Mister Marty has been waiting for a home since September of last year, over six months now. That’s half a year of longing for a family to call his own. And for a dog who’s barely 3 years old, that’s a huge chunk of his young life.
Even after all those days spent here, Mister Marty has remained gentle, happy and sweet. He’s young, healthy and strong, with a huge heart. When he first arrived, he was a shy stray, unsure of his new surroundings and a little fearful. But it didn’t take long for Marty to adjust, and once he did, he quickly became a staff favorite. His personality shines through, and while he can be a bit energetic at times, his goofy happiness is contagious.
Orange County Animal Services is located at 2769 Conroy Road in Orlando, near the Mall at Millenia. The shelter is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. every day except Wednesday, when it’s open 2-6 p.m. For more information, please call 407-8363111 or visit ocnetpets.com.
