MIAMI - Rubin Stacey was lynched on July 19, 1935. Historians say his death is the only lynching on record in Broward County. 

Rubin Stacey was not only lynched, but he was also shot 17 times, and tied to the back of a car and dragged according to his great-great niece Tenille Brown. 

She says there are many stories as to why Stacey was lynched, "He went and knocked on the door asking for work. She invited him in, and he cut her with a pen knife," Brown said. However, she also asserts there are reports that Stacey may have never gone to the woman's home at all. 

Ken Cutler, a City Commissioner for the city of Parkland and a historian, was used in the Rubin film. He says the climate during the time of Stacey's murder was tumultuous. 

"The Civil Rights Act didn't occur until the 1960s so at the time, everything was segregated. Blacks were on one side of town, whites were on the other side of town. There was a lot of racial tension," said Cutler.

The film Rubin was about getting to know who Rubin Stacey was, beyond just his tragedy. 

"He was a family man. Somebody who was always involved with family. Spent time with his wife. He spent time with his son," said Brown.

He also loved to fish. Brown says her aunt Anne Naves, lived in the house with Stacey and was eight at the time of his death. It wasn't something the family spoke about often as it brought on a lot of shame. 

However, now they're speaking about it in hopes to tell the full scope of history, especially at a time in Florida when challenges to the teachings of Black history are being called into question.

"This idea of trying to rewrite what actually happened. Now is the time for people that understand what truth is to stand up and get that truth out," said Cutler.

Another important part of this film was the teaching about what lynching is. Commissioner Cutler explained that it's not just the hanging of someone from a tree it can also mean tying someone to the back of a car and dragging them.

Ultimately those involved want to continue to educate despite what's happening in our state. A two-mile stretch of Davie Boulevard has been renamed Rubin Stacey Memorial Boulevard.

ROBB BANK$ SHARES NEW SINGLE "KASE"

Robb Bank$ has just shared his new single "Kase", along with the announcement that his new album I Think I Might Be Happy Pt. 1 will be out on March 1st. Consistently rapping with a lethal combination of rapid-fire flows and intimate barwork, Robb Bank$ has proven himself as one of Florida's most prolific artists ever since emerging onto the scene over a decade ago. Known as a pioneer of the SoundCloud-era Hip-Hop whose sound was elevated to the mainstream throughout its boom in the mid-2010s. Since the release of his debut mixtape Calendars in 2012, Robb Bank$ has carved out a lane for himself as a firestarter, helping to break the careers of fellow Florida artists like Ski Mask the Slump God and XXXTentacion, who he collaborated with on tracks like "Plottin" (25M+ Streams). A series of other standout tracks like "It's Lifted" featuring Trippie Redd (14M+ Streams) and "Can't Feel My Face" featuring Wifisfuneral (26M+ Streams), have helped catapult Robb Bank$ into the upper echelon of modern-day Hip-Hop, garnering critical acclaim from the likes of Office Mag, CLASH and VIBE in the process.

After dropping I Dnt Txt Back, I Dnt Call, a Special Edition of his 2015 EP 2PhoneShawty and a collab tape with Tony Shhnow, I Can't Feel My Face Too last year, Robb Bank$ is keeping his hot streak alive with the new release of "Kase". The announcement of his highly-anticipated album I Think I Might Be Happy Pt. 1 (out 3/1) arrives today, on the birthday of his fan-favorite mixtape Calendars – paying homage to the breakthrough project on the forthcoming project's cover. With the release of his new single "Kase" following "Baby Tunechi" in setting up the forthcoming release of I Think I Might Be Happy Pt. 1, these singles are pulling back the curtains to reveal a long-awaited project that Robb Bank$ has been alluding to as a reference to his state of mind throughout his career. Now a solidified veteran figure in the Rap game, Robb Bank$'s I Think I Might Be Happy Pt. 1 will be out March 1st.

A Florida prosecutor suspended by Ron DeSantis for defying a new 15-week abortion law says a federal judge’s decision to send his reinstatement appeal to trial means a reckoning is coming for the state’s Republican governor.

Andrew Warren, a Democrat, was removed as Hillsborough county state attorney on 4 August after saying he would not enforce the abortion ban or prosecute providers of gender transition treatment for young people.

DeSantis cited Warren’s alleged “woke agenda” in reasons for his decision.

At a hearing in Tallahassee on Monday, Judge Robert Hinkle denied motions from DeSantis to dismiss Warren’s lawsuit, and another by Warren seeking an immediate return to office, instead requesting their differences be settled at a trial in the coming weeks.

“The Governor now has to answer it to a court of law where facts matter and where you have to tell the truth,” Warren said in an interview with The Guardian.

“It’s a victory for the truth. A federal judge has ruled that the Governor has to come into court to explain the reasons behind my suspension, to show that it wasn’t political, to show that it wasn’t in violation of my free speech rights, to show that it wasn’t in violation of the voters’ rights to have the state attorney of their choice.”

The closely watched case is expected to give clarity to DeSantis’s power to purge elected officials who disagree with him. In recent weeks, the Governor has also removed four members of a school board in Broward county that defied him over COVID-19 mask mandates.

“The Governor is entrusted by the people of Florida to utilize his constitutional powers and may suspend elected officials in Florida who refuse to enforce the law,” DeSantis’s office said in a statement following Monday’s hearing.

Critics, however, have accused the governor of selective application of the principle. The Orlando Sentinel noted that DeSantis has taken no action against so-called “constitutional” sheriffs who say they won’t enforce certain gun laws.

But he did act in 2019, suspending the Broward county sheriff, Scott Israel, a Democrat, for “neglect of duty.”

Warren said he believed a trial, which could begin as early as next month, would cut through any political posturing.

“This has always been a fight for democracy, and rule of law, and for elections,” he said.

“This is our fight for the truth. And now the people will get the truth because the Governor is being forced to explain himself. Ultimately, he may be called to testify in court. The court was pretty clear that it wants to hear from the Governor in terms of the explanations about the suspension to make sure that the reasons why I was suspended are consistent with Florida law, and with federal law.”

Warren said his reinstatement was not the sole objective of his lawsuit.

“I would have liked to be back in office already but there’s more at stake than just my job,” he said.

“Regardless of what party you belong to, or who you vote for, yours always matters. No elected official has the right to throw out anyone’s vote. And the Governor here has tried to throw out the votes of hundreds of thousands of Floridians and overturn an election. If he gets away with it, what’s left of our democracy? What’s the point of having elections?”

Warren ran as a progressive when he unseated long-term incumbent Republican Mark Ober as Hillsborough county state attorney in 2016, and was re-elected with 53% of the vote four years later.

He immediately set about enacting policies that upset conservatives, the Tampa Bay Times reported, including a pledge to introduce programs to rehabilitate convicts and prevent recidivism.

According to Tampa’s Fox13, Susan Lopez, whom DeSantis appointed in Warren’s place, has already reversed several of his policies, including the reinstatement of a controversial law enforcement “bike-stop” measure that critics say unfairly targets minorities.

Maybe those bubbas in Florida should pull themselves up by their own flip-flop straps.

Just make sure the bubbas down there in FL know it's socialist dollars from Joe and everybody else in the US.

So Ron DeSantis, one of whose goals is to keep people who don’t like him from voting, was the star of his own TV special where he complained that 20 votes out of 11,100,000 cast in Florida in the 2020 presidential election were illegal.

So that’s 1 out of 555,000 votes were allegedly illegally cast.

Only 17 of the 20 are in custody. 3 culprits apparently are still roaming the streets and swamps of Florida – poised to repeat their nefarious deed.

For the sake of comparison, 1,290 murders were committed in Florida in 2020. Shouldn’t those cops standing behind DeSantis in that pic to act as window dressing be doing real police work rather than acting as political props for a neo-fascist governor?

The event included all of the necessary law-and-order dress-up: Held in the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, DeSantis spoke in front of a wall of uniformed law enforcement officers and behind a podium labeled “ELECTION INTEGRITY.”

The governor’s remarks were punctuated by the cheers of an audience in the courtroom’s jury box and public gallery, which held up signs, distributed minutes earlier, that read “MY VOTE COUNTS.” 

[ ... ]

Joe Scott, Broward County’s supervisor of elections, told The Miami Herald his office hadn’t received any advanced notice on the substance of the press event; rumors swirled ahead of time that DeSantis was coming down to announce Scott’s suspension.

“They were very mysterious about it, with everybody. Nobody really knew what it was about,” Scott told the Herald. “You’re making an election-related announcement in my backyard, and they didn’t tell me anything about it.”

Yep, this was a political event done at a local government facility without approval of officials. I wonder who set this up. 🤨

More important than the details of the alleged violations, apparently, was praising Ron DeSantis. Ashley Moody, Florida’s attorney general, commended “our very detail-oriented governor.” And DeSantis himself paused at one point to note the source of all the hubbub.

“This was my idea!” the governor exclaimed.

This had more to do with discouraging voters than with revelations of an alleged crime wave. Does DeSantis take over local courtrooms to announce crackdowns on jaywalking or parking meter enforcement?
