Appreciate you, @XianiforFL — thanks for keeping it real and standing up for Downtown residents. This fight’s about democracy, and you nailed it. #sosdowntownmiami #letusvote #sosmiami
Respect to @Emilioformiami for stepping up and taking the fight to Pardo’s rigged election scheme! #sosmiami @BHAMiami @XianiforFL @newschica @peterehrlich1 @CBSMiami @lrobertsonmiami @WPLGLocal10 @tessriski @BillyCorben @CBoomerVazquez @nbc6 @HudakTV @LSewardWCPO…
Ditto! #sosmiami
Thrilled that the Court agreed with our legal opinion on the City of Miami’s unconstitutional attempt at moving back an election without voter approval.
Headed into the DDA meeting to give Chairman Rosado a warm welcome… and a reality check — Downtown isn’t your ATM. #sosdowntownmiami @DOGEFla @AGJamesUthmeier @GovRonDeSantis
No vote. No justice. No shame. This is what voter suppression looks like. More soon. #sosdowntownmiami @BHAMiami @XianiforFL @newschica @peterehrlich1 @CBSMiami @lrobertsonmiami @WPLGLocal10 @tessriski @BillyCorben @CBoomerVazquez @nbc6 @HudakTV @LSewardWCPO @MissionMiamiPC…
Wild how the only folks terrified of us voting are the ones milking the DDA cash cow. #sosdowntownmiami
HAPPENING NOW: DDA enforcer Melissa Tapanes — the poster child for DDA entitlement — just got booted from the podium after trying to steamroll City Hall like it was just another DDA backroom deal. Turns out Chairwoman King wasn’t in the mood for tantrums — and sent her packing.…
Outside City Hall — fired up, and ready to end 58 years of silence. Let’s go! #sosdowntownmiami
They taxed us for 58 years. Tomorrow is our chance to break the cycle. #sosdowntownmiami @BHAMiami @XianiforFL @newschica @peterehrlich1 @CBSMiami @lrobertsonmiami @WPLGLocal10 @tessriski @BillyCorben @CBoomerVazquez @nbc6 @HudakTV @LSewardWCPO @MissionMiamiPC @miguelgabela…
Tomorrow’s the day. Let’s get this on the ballot — see you at City Hall! #sosdowntownmiami
BREAKING: The Flagler BID — led by Terrell Fritz, who gets DDA funding — is now trying to kill the referendum and silence voters. Apparently, democracy’s bad for business… when the business is pay-to-play. Everyone opposing the vote? Either on the payroll, on the board, or…
Chainsaw diplomacy in Morningside. Pardo’s just out here clearing shade — literally. #sosmorningside
A Morningside resident just sent us these pics — a beautiful tree hacked to pieces. Has Pardo’s war on trees officially begun? #sosmorningside
58 years double taxed by the DDA — and now we’re asking for one thing — the opportunity to vote. Thursday city hall decides if we even get that chance. #sosdowntownmiami @ralphrosado305 @miguelgabela @Damianpardo8 @JoeCarolloNow @IamChristineEsq @tessriski @CBoomerVazquez…
By no later than noon tomorrow… #sosmiami
How long till @Damianpardo8 puts up another “explainer” video?
I’ve been saying this about Eileen Higgins for a while — silent on the DDA tax, silent on election rigging… now cashing in. Typical political BS….. @BillyCorben @newschica @tessriski @CommishEileen @MiamiHerald @MissionMiamiPC
This is comically/cynically disingenuous: Eileen Higgins has been MISSING IN ACTION from this fight — and now all of a sudden she’s FUNDRAISING off Emilio Gonzalez’s court victory! Shame on her political grifter campaign consultant Christian Ulvert for exploiting another…
“The wannabe dictators at Miami City Hall just got a hard slap of reality from the bench. And Ladra is here for it.” @newschica @BillyCorben @grantstern @BecauseMiami @AGJamesUthmeier @GovRonDeSantis politicalcortadito.com/2025/07/21/jud…
Indeed. Credit where credit due! #sosmiami
Attempt to cancel elections and dodge term limits: Denied. The constitution and—common sense—win another round.
Props where props due! #sosmiami
City of Miami politicians voted to defy term limits, cancel this year’s scheduled election, and extend their own terms in office — all without voter approval. Today, a judge has put the kibosh on the scheme. Great to see the law and common sense prevail.
Well well well… turns out Pardo’s election rigging isn’t legal after all. #sosmiami
A judge has ruled that Miami's decision to postpone the November election to 2026 without voter approval was unlawful miamiherald.com/news/local/com…
