It’s where you’ve pushed far past your limits—and you can’t rest, but you also can’t keep moving.

Hello from the #gulfofmexico side of FL, @sanders.senate.gov & @aoc.bsky.social! My family participated in the #sarasotanokings protest, & after looking at the numbers, we think you need to make a visit! #Tampa and #Sarasota had the highest numbers in the state, 15,000 & 9000 Floridians!
