¶ The Supreme Court is partisan on purpose To protect our reproductive freedoms, we need to expand the Supreme Court. The Judiciary Act of 2021 would add four new seats to the Supreme Court, bringing the number of justices to 13. It would help restore balance to a Court that Mitch McConnell has packed with right-wing extremists who just dismantled abortion care in America. Recent polling showed that not only do a majority of Americans believe that the Supreme Court should uphold the right to abortion care, they also agree that we need to restore balance to the court and support adding additional judges to the Supreme Court. I’m urging Congress to pass the Judiciary Act so we can create an institution that moves away from partisan politics and represents the good of all Americans. — Carole Andress, Orlando

¶ A scary moment for America This is a scary moment. The Supreme Court just dismantled abortion rights across America. As a result, twenty-six states could outlaw abortion, including 13 that have passed “trigger” laws to take effect immediately after the Court overturns Roe v. Wade. This news should set off alarm bells for all Americans. Our fundamental freedoms are coming under attack by a hyper-partisan supermajority on the Court. And this could just be the beginning. But there’s a way to fight back, which is why I’m urging Congress to pass the Judiciary Act of 2021. The Judiciary Act would rebalance the Supreme Court by adding four new seats, giving us 13 justices in total. It’s just what we need to move away from extremely partisan rulings and restore the legitimacy of the Court — and it’s been done before. In fact, Congress has changed the size of the Supreme Court seven times already in our nation’s history. A recent poll showed that the majority of Americans support expanding the court again now. It’s past time for Congress to get on board with this crucial bill. — Annette Padilla, Avalon Park

¶ Defying Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish When Donald Trump was in office, he and Mitch McConnell made three lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court. McConnell went so far as to defy Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s dying wish — that the next president appoint her

replacement — by packing the Court with Amy Coney Barrett just eight days before the 2020 election. The result? Today’s Supreme Court has been taken over by a hyperpartisan supermajority that just dismantled abortion care in America. For the first time the Supreme Court has taken away a constitutional right, a right 70% of our citizens want and support. With no legal grounds. The brief is riddled with flimsy logic. And hints at coming after other precedents for rights the large majority of our country also supports. But there’s something we can do. The Judiciary Act of 2021 would add four seats to the Supreme Court bench — restoring balance to the court. It’s the solution we need to move away from the extremely partisan rulings that now threaten our fundamental freedoms. Recent polling showed that the majority of voters support expanding the court. Congress has changed the size of the Supreme Court seven times already in our nation’s history. It’s time to do it again. I’m urging our representatives to back this important bill now so we know they want to protect the rights of the American people. The stakes are too high to stay quiet on this important issue. — J Ahearn, Apopka

¶ The Judiciary Act would add four seats to SCOTUS Right now, the right to abortion care is at risk because of a deliberate, decades-long takeover of the Supreme Court by powerful right-wing extremists. We’re seeing the culmination of this takeover as the Court just overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that made abortion access a constitutional right. This opens the door for states to outlaw abortion and take us back to a time when women were forced to go through with an unwanted pregnancy, potentially endangering their health and hurting their ability to provide for their families. But it’s possible to undo this damage. The Judiciary Act would add four seats, restoring balance to the Supreme Court. It’s the solution that recent polling showed is supported by the majority of Americans, and it’s what we need to move away from partisan rulings that dismantle our rights and freedoms. And it’s been done before. In fact, Congress has changed the size of the Supreme Court seven times already in our nation’s history. It’s time to do it again. I’m urging Congress to pass the Judiciary Act of 2021 to ensure we protect our fundamental freedoms and restore balance to our courts now. — Georgie Pratt, Winter Park

Disney pulls out of Brightline expansion deal, a local R. Kelly victim praises the singer’s long-overdue prison sentence, OCPS names a new superintendent and other news you may have missed. »

Azriel Clary celebrated the sentencing of disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly on Twitter last Wednesday. “A piece of me was happy because I felt like this person no longer has control over me, you know?” Clary said of her ability to finally speak out against Kelly. “You don’t tell me what to do and what to wear and where to go and how long to be in a room anymore.” At times, that freedom was hard-won. One of Kelly’s former associates set a fire outside Clary’s Polk County home in 2019. Michael Williams, who was related to Kelly’s ex-publicist, confessed to burning a car in the driveway of Clary’s home in 2020. The 55-year-old Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison for crimes of racketeering and sex trafficking. “You were a person who had great advantages — worldwide fame and celebrity and untold money,” U.S. District Court Judge Ann Donnelly said before handing down the sentence. “You took advantage of their hopes and dreams, holding teenagers in your house trapped. You were at the top of your organization and you raped and beat them, separated them from their families and forced them to do unspeakable things.” After the news broke, Clary celebrated by posting “The devil don’t play fair, but God do!” Clary was one of the many women that Kelly pulled into his decades-long operation of sexual abuse and manipulation. At the time of the bombshell documentary Surviving R. Kelly, Clary was living with Kelly and defended the singer from mounting accusations. She eventually realized that she was being manipulated by the singer. She testified at trial about the abuse she and other women suffered from Kelly, sharing in interviews afterward that she was coached by the singer to respond to the media.

‘Don’t Say Gay’ law is not forcing Orange County teachers to remove photos of same-sex partners A viral meme is misrepresenting the effects of Florida’s controversial “Don’t Say Gay” law, focusing in on some particularly nasty dictates that are allegedly happening in Orange County. The law, which went into effect last Friday, bans instruction on sexual orientation and gender ideology before fourth grade and allows school districts to ban such lessons in further school years. But a meme circulating on Instagram grossly exaggerates the provisions of an already fairly terrible law. The image says that LGBTQ teachers are being forced to remove photos of their spouses from the classroom and not speak of them. It adds that rainbow-patterned clothing has been banned from OCPS and that teachers must out students to their parents if they come to them and tell them they are queer. None of this is true. The meme appears to have spawned from a series of school board meetings and teachers’ union clarifications to members in Orange County. While the Orange County CTA did warn its members to be cautious around the subject for fear of litigation (the job of a union is to protect its members, after all), an outright ban is not in effect. “All teachers are encouraged to keep pictures of their families in the classroom; however, in K-3, it was cautioned against specific discussions in the event those discussions could be deemed classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity,” the CTA shared. Even the state admits that there is no ban of photos in effect, in their recent motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed against them by Equality Florida. “There is no merit, for example, to the suggestion that the statute restricts gay and transgender teachers from ‘put[ting] a family photo on their desk’ or “refer[ring] to themselves and their spouse (and their own children),” they wrote. “Those actions are not ‘instruction,’ which is “the action, practice, or profession of teaching.” And while a Florida legislator did try and add language to the “Don’t Say Gay” law that would force teachers to out students, that is not in the passed legislation.

The new ride turns the page on a chapter of their history Disney would just as soon forget. Song of the South has featured prominently in Disney’s history thanks to its iconic song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah,” but the film depicts Lost Cause imagery of a pre-Civil War South, pushing the false idea that slaves were happy to live on plantations. (It’s a motif carried over in the state song of Florida, though the lyrics were revised in 2008 to remove offending passages.) Disney stopped releasing the movie for home video decades ago and has refused to add it to their streaming platform Disney+.

Disney pulls out of Sunrail/Brightline expansion following route change The Walt Disney Company has pulled out of its plans to facilitate the extension of a Sunrail/Brightline train line from Orlando International Airport to Tampa. Disney joined in the ambitious rail project at a time that the route plan included a possible stop at Disney Springs, with the rail line crossing Walt Disney World Resort property. That Disney Springs stop and routing has been removed from the most recent plans for the project. “As many people who are involved in this project are aware, the new route configuration does not support a Disney Springs station and as a result, we don’t anticipate being part of this project,” shared Disney spokesperson Avery Maehrer. The new plan routes the train through the tourist corridor along International Drive, bypassing the resort.

Orange County Public Schools names Dr. Maria Vazquez as new superintendent Orange County Public Schools last Tuesday announced their next superintendent, Dr. Maria Vazquez. Currently the deputy superintendent of OCPS, Vazquez was unanimously voted in by the Board after an extensive candidate search. Vazquez will succeed outgoing superintendent Dr. Barbara Jenkins, who is retiring in December after 10 years as superintendent. “During her tenure at OCPS, Dr. Vazquez has developed a proven track record of leadership for educational equity,” the board wrote in a statement announcing Vazquez’s selection. “She has expanded access to advanced coursework for historically underserved students, recruited great teachers to the most vulnerable schools, and reprioritized the district’s budget to support teaching and learning.” Vazquez has more than 20 years of experience in public education in the district, serving over the years as an elementary school teacher, vice principal, principal and chief academic officer. She has served as the deputy superintendent of OCPS since 2018. Orange County Public Schools is the ninth-largest school district in the U.S., with more than 200,000 students. Vazquez will be the school district’s first Hispanic superintendent. ‘HEY, IT’S JUST KETCHUP’

Winter Park woman sues police department after being shot in her home Disney announced that Splash Mountain will be turned into a Princess & The Frog-themed ride called Tiana’s Bayou Adventure by 2024. While the shift in focus from its long-running Song of the South-inspired Br’er Rabbit theme has been known for some time, details about the new ride have been scarce. That changed last week with an announcement that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure will replace Splash Mountain at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Disney VP Carmen Smith said they took time to get the representation of New Orleans and South Louisiana right for the ride. “From exploring the French Market and the bayou, to consulting with academics, chefs, musicians and cultural institutions, Imagineers have received inspiration from all over the region and learned from local experts along the way,” Smith said. The story at the heart of Princess & The Frog is based on real-life New Orleans icon Leah Chase. The chef converted a stand owned by her husband’s family into a sit-down restaurant called Dooky Chase’s that has been a staple of New Orleans dining for well over half a century. Chase passed away in 2019 at the age of 96. orlandoweekly.com

JUDGE BLOCKS FLORIDA’S 15-WEEK ABORTION BAN ‘Medically unnecessary’ HB 5 found to violate Floridians’ constitutional right to privacy. The state plans to appeal the injunction, which would essentially put the law back into effect. BY RYAN DA ILEY, NSF

uling that a new Florida law placing a 15-week limit on abortions violates a privacy clause in the state Constitution, a Leon County circuit judge last Thursday said he will issue a temporary injunction to block the law. During a news conference the next day in Sanford, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis railed against Judge John Cooper’s ruling, which found that the ban violated rights to privacy guaranteed in Florida’s state constitution. However, Cooper said his verbal ruling will not be binding until he signs a written order. That written order should come this week. The law (HB 5) was set to take effect last Friday, so it will be in place for at least a few days before Cooper issues the written order. The state also quickly announced it plans to file an appeal, which would automatically freeze Cooper’s order and effectively put the law back into effect. Cooper drew a distinction between the state constitutional issues in the Florida case and the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision last week that struck down the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion-rights ruling. “I do think that this order complies with the present state of the law in Florida. … And the only mention Roe v. Wade should get in this particular case … is that it has indicated the (U.S.) Supreme Court (said) that these decisions are to be made at the state level. That’s what this proceeding is about, is construing a provision of the Florida Constitution,” Cooper said. The privacy clause has played a key role for more than three decades in bolstering abortion rights in Florida. But Bryan Griffin, deputy press secretary for Gov. Ron DeSantis, said in a statement that the Florida Supreme Court “misinterpreted” the privacy clause.

“While we are disappointed with today’s ruling, we know that the pro-life HB 5 will ultimately withstand all legal challenges. The Florida Supreme Court previously misinterpreted Florida’s right to privacy as including a right to an abortion, and we reject this interpretation. The Florida Constitution does not include — and has never included — a right to kill an innocent unborn child. We will appeal today’s ruling and ask the Florida Supreme Court to reverse its existing precedent regarding Florida’s right to privacy. The struggle for life is not over,” Griffin said. At his press conference the next day, DeSantis reiterated he wasn’t “happy” with the decision and trotted out some rightwing talking points about the medical procedure. “These are unborn babies that have a heartbeat. They can feel pain, they can suck their thumb and to say that the state constitution mandates things like dismemberment abortions — I just don’t think that’s the proper way,” he said. “That was likely going to be what was decided in that case. We knew that we were going to have to move forward and continue the legal battle and that’s something that was decided under state law,” DeSantis said. When the state files an appeal at the 1st District Court of Appeal, it will automatically trigger a stay of Cooper’s order, under court rules. While plaintiffs could ask Cooper to vacate the stay, he said Thursday he does not intend to override it. Lauren Brenzel, organizing director of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates, called Cooper’s ruling a “victory.” But Brenzel described uncertainty about whether post-15-week abortions will be available as potentially creating confusion for patients. “It’s really unfortunate, and this shows us exactly why politicians should not be interfering with access to health care.

Imagine being a patient right now and trying to access safe care that should be legal in our state, and you’re having to worry about whether or not they’ll be able to provide it to you on one day or the other,” Brenzel told reporters outside the Leon County courtroom. The law, one of the most controversial issues of the 2022 legislative session, would prevent doctors from performing abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, with limited exceptions. Abortion clinics across the state and a physician filed the constitutional challenge June 1 and sought a temporary injunction. Cooper held an all-day hearing last Monday that included testimony from witnesses. In siding with the plaintiffs, Cooper said he found a plaintiffs’ witness “more knowledgeable and credible” than witnesses offered by the state. During closing arguments Thursday, attorneys focused, in part, on whether the plaintiffs had proven that they would be directly harmed by the law. James Percival, an attorney representing the state, disputed an argument by the plaintiffs that the law would cause harm by interfering with patients’ relationships with their doctors. “I think the important point here is that this is not some case where some private actor is interfering with a doctor-patient relationship. The state is setting medical standards,” Percival said. Whitney White, an attorney for the plaintiffs, argued that the penalties doctors would face for breaking the law would interfere with services and, as a result, cause harm. “There’s no dispute that plaintiffs currently offer abortions after 15 weeks and that they would be forced to stop that under coercion of the threatened criminal and licensing penalties that HB 5 carries. HB 5 will thus force plaintiffs to stop providing safe, comprehensive and compassionate health care to their patients, against their medical judgment, and against the needs and best interests of the patients,” White said. Cooper’s ruling drew reactions from numerous political leaders on both sides of the abortion debate, with many speculating the case will end up in the Florida Supreme Court. While justices in the past have ruled that the privacy clause protected abortion rights, the court since 2019 has become far more conservative — with four DeSantis appointees likely to be on the seven-member court later this year. “Today’s ruling on pro-life HB 5 is disappointing but not unexpected. This issue will need to be resolved in the (Florida Supreme Court), where I hope to see a correct interpretation of the state’s privacy clause & HB 5 implemented statewide to save tens of thousands of innocent babies’ lives,” House Speaker Chris Sprowls, R-Palm Harbor, said in a tweet. State Senate Minority Leader Lauren Book, D-Plantation, praised Cooper’s ruling and said it “protects abortion access” in Florida. “Extremist GOP leaders will continue their crusade to strip away women’s rights and freedoms — that much is clear — but make no mistake: Advocates for choice and for women to have autonomy over their bodies will be there at every turn, continuing to fight with everything we have until women’s rights are fully restored,” Book said in a prepared statement. Progressive firebrand Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando, also released a statement after the injunction was announced. “House Bill 5, Florida’s 15-week abortion ban, is medically unnecessary and provides no exceptions for rape, incest or human trafficking. “Floridians have demonstrated in the past and present support for privacy and an understanding that decisions around someone’s pregnancy are personal. Whether you decide to become a parent, choose adoption or end your pregnancy, those decisions must remain between the pregnant person, their family, their doctor, their faith — and not politicians,” Eskamani continued.

ENOUGH ALREADY autonomy, and Democrats are truly invested in fixing it, Biden needs to act now. The FDA could argue that states don’t have the authority to ban medications it has deemed safe and effective and make abortion pills available nationally. If federal courts bought that argument, women would have access to medication abortion until 10 weeks of pregnancy. The government could also lease property it owns — or Indigenous people, if they wanted, could lease land they control — to abortion providers within states that ban abortion. Or, if Senate Democrats muster enough votes to scrap the Hyde Amendment — which forbids the government from funding abortion — the Biden administration could install abortion clinics inside VA hospitals, military bases or any other federal facility. Executive actions aren’t permanent, and they might not survive the litigation that follows. These orders in particular rest on untested legal arguments and would likely face a hostile federal judiciary. But they would be actions, and doing something is a hell of a lot better than the resigned passivity and alms-begging Democrats have come to expect from their leaders.

After the death of Roe v. Wade, Democrats need to do more than fundraise and say ‘see you in November’ BY JEFFREY C. BILLMAN

o sooner had five Supreme Court justices — four men, four appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote, three confirmed by a Senate that represented a minority of the country, two credibly accused of sexual assault, one occupying a stolen seat — declared that women were no longer in charge of their own health care choices, the texts and emails began pouring in. “Jeffrey, this isn’t a normal fundraising email,” a normal fundraising email from Nancy Pelosi told me. “And a normal response won’t suffice.” A candidate for Georgia attorney general: “Women’s health and livelihoods are on the line.” A text from Wisconsin: “Can you please make a $3 contribution to elect Mandela Barnes to the Senate? We need him to be the deciding vote to end the filibuster and codify Roe into federal law?” (How the hell did I get on all these lists?) Nothing raises money like outrage. But passing the hat before Roe’s body was cold, without so much as acknowledging that Roe’s death was a failure of Democratic politics — struck me as tone-deaf. So did the group of Democrats who gathered on the House steps to sing “God Bless America” — which was also literally tone-deaf. So did the predictable encouragements to vote, as if this country isn’t locked into a tyranny of the minority. And yet, there was Joe Biden, the president of the United States, imploring us to vote: “The only way we can secure a woman’s right to choose and the balance that existed is for Congress to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade as federal law. No executive action from the president can do that. And if Congress, as it appears, lacks the vote — votes to do that now, voters need to make their voices heard.” Send us money, vote harder, and we’ll try again next year. I can’t imagine why that’s not working. If this is “a realization of an extreme ideology and a tragic error,” as Biden put it, and “cruel” and “outrageous,” as Pelosi said, then it deserves more urgency than “see you in November.” Of course Democrats should make the election a referendum on abortion rights; more than two-thirds of the public supports Roe, and a large majority wants to see abortion rights protected in federal law. But there’s no reason to wait. Democrats control Congress, at least until Jan. 3. They should use it before they lose it.

What Biden said is true: The Senate failed to overcome a filibuster on the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would have codified abortion rights. The bill didn’t even get a majority because Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin and ostensibly pro-choice Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski voted against it, saying it went too far. Fine. Scale it back to whatever they find acceptable and try again. Then put other reproductive health bills on the floor, one after another after another. Make them plain, direct and specific: The right to abortion in the first trimester. (If that fails, the right to abortion in the first 16 weeks of pregnancy, then 15, then 14 ….) The right to abortion in cases of rape or incest. The right to abortion when carrying the pregnancy to term poses a risk to the mother’s life or health. The right to abortion in cases of fetal death or developmental abnormality. The right to receive abortion pills through the

mail. The right to access and use contraception. The right to purchase and use Plan B. The right to use in vitro fertilization, even though its use requires the destruction of fertilized embryos. From there, get out in front of what everyone knows is coming next: The right to same-sex marriage. The right of same-sex couples to adopt. The right to consensual sex with any adult you want, in whatever manner you like — i.e., sodomy. The right to privacy itself. Either enough Senate Republicans will join that Congress will mitigate some of the damage the Supreme Court is doing, or they’ll vote — again and again — to filibuster overwhelmingly popular policies, which then allows Democrats to frame the election around whether the country wishes to return women to the 1950s. Promises to do something eventually aren’t enough, however. If voters are to believe this is an urgent threat to women’s

An FBI raid and an embarrassed board after our flagship art museum falls for a Simpsons-esque con man BY AL EX GALBRA ITH , M AT T HEW M OYER A N D J E SS I C A B RYC E YO U N G , W I TH A D DI TI O N A L R EPO R TING BY KY LE EAG L E

“S

hut up. You took the money. Stop being holier than thou.” Was this amateurish “confidence-man” exchange between Dr. Aaron De Groft and Dr. Jordana Moore Saggese — from a bombshell FBI affidavit leaked last week by the New York Times — the moment the other shoe dropped for the now-former Orlando Museum of Art director De Groft? Possibly. It’s definitely a torrential downpour of other shoes falling from the sky — each with a commemorative Basquiat sock stuffed inside — right over OMA and De Groft. Dogged by questions of provenance from day one of the exhibit, the troubled saga of the Heroes & Monsters exhibition reached zugzwang over the last two weeks. And even a skilled television writer — like, say, Thaddeus Mumford Jr., but more on him in a moment — couldn’t have written a more bizarre series of twists and turns, resulting in an FBI raid on the museum and De Groft being kicked to the curb by OMA’s board in short order. The last act of this saga started on June 24 when the FBI raided the museum bright and early Friday morning, days before the exhibition was set to close and the exhibition pieces to head off to Italy. (The subgenre of “paintings as flight risk” is a conceptual art movement we weren’t ready for.) The FBI team bundled off all of the Heroes paintings — more than two dozen — though no arrests were made. The news of the raid got somewhat, rightfully, overlooked as the national news of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade dominated the headlines, but there was no missing what would come next. Last Tuesday, mere days after the raid, the NYT released excerpts from the aforementioned FBI affidavit, included in the search warrant that allowed the feds to raid the museum and seize the 25 paintings on Friday. (Go to our website to read the whole thing.) The revelations were damning, to say the least.

Saggese told FBI investigators how she was dismissed and told off by De Groft after casting doubt on the paintings’ origin. Saggese — a professor at the University of Maryland, and a noted Basquiat expert — was originally called in by OMA to help authenticate the paintings. Named as Expert 2 in the FBI affidavit supporting the FBI’s search warrant of the museum, Saggese said she was pressured to keep quiet by De Groft. “You want us to put out there you got $60 grand to write this? Ok then. Shut up. You took the money. Stop being holier than thou,” De Groft reportedly wrote in an email after Saggese asked for her name to be removed from the exhibit. “Do your academic thing and stay in your limited lane.” Saggese alleged that an interview about the paintings that the museum touted was in fact entirely fabricated and never took place. Her attorneys added in a statement to Orlando Weekly that she never agreed unequivocally that the paintings were genuine. The affidavit contained more eye-popping revelations. According to the document, Thaddeus Mumford Jr. — the impeccably credentialed television writer untruthfully alleged by the paintings’ owners to have bought the works from Basquiat for $5,000 in 1982 and then socked them away in a storage unit — told federal agents in 2014 that he had neither met Basquiat nor purchased any of his paintings. He signed a sworn statement in 2017 to that effect. Mumford added that he was pressured by the paintings’ owners to corroborate the story, in exchange for 10 percent of the sale price. In other words, the FBI knew before the exhibit ever opened at OMA that the narrative set forth by the museum’s exhibition materials was a fairy tale, and were more than fairly certain that the paintings were just as fake as the story. That Tuesday edition of the NYT was still on stands when De Groft was summarily dismissed by OMA’s Board of Trustees. The board shared the news at 11 p.m., saying that they were

concerned about the exhibit as well as the way De Groft handled himself while representing the museum. “[The Board] is extremely concerned about several issues with regard to the ‘Heroes and Monsters’ exhibition, including the recent revelation of an inappropriate e-mail correspondence sent to academia concerning the authentication of some of the artwork in the exhibition,” they wrote. “We have launched an official process to address these matters, as they are inconsistent with the values of this institution, our business standards, and our standards of conduct.” For those following the story since February when the exhibit opened, the news is long overdue. The provenance of those paintings has been called into question repeatedly from different angles. The owners of the paintings have a history of shady dealings in the art world and beyond. Mumford, who is said to have purchased the paintings directly from Basquiat, told federal agents he never met the late painter. A brand mark under the paint on the cardboard pieces and another on the back of one seems to suggest they weren’t made at the time that the exhibition claims. The Los Angeles art dealer who was providing Basquiat a living space at the time the paintings were allegedly made said he found the whole story unlikely — as did a close associate of the artist interviewed by Orlando Weekly. OMA’s Board of Trustees has appointed Joann Walfish, who has served as the museum’s chief financial officer, to serve as interim director of the museum while they seek out new leadership. The museum has a long road ahead of them in restoring the public’s trust in the institution. Response in the community at large was disappointed and dismayed. “Displaying fake art is not only deceitful and connected to larger crimes, but it gives legitimacy to those who wish to profit off another person’s legacy, and in this case an artist of color too,” said State Rep. Anna Eskamani, D-Orlando. “I also am pleased to see that Aaron De Groft is no longer Director and CEO of Orlando Museum of Art — it’s clear that he ignored warning signs from others concerning the authenticity of this art, and accountability matters.” Director of Orange County Arts & Cultural Affairs Terry Olson reflected on the hype and bombast behind the exhibition: “P.T. Barnum said that all publicity is good publicity. I’m not sure I’d 100% agree with that for the arts, that have a more civic mission than just to make money, but bringing more people out to experience the art does further the mission,” said Olson. “Being aggressive in bringing new experiences to Central Florida is certainly admirable as long as it is done with integrity.” In an open letter written on the day of the FBI raid to the chairwoman of the Orlando Museum of Art Board of Trustees, Cynthia Brumback, Orlando art supply dealer Sam Flax forcefully laid out the steps that he thought should be taken by the museum to regain some credibility in the eyes of the public at large — including the entirety of the Board resigning and an apology issued to the people of Orlando. Indeed, several Orlando Weekly readers have communicated to the editor that they want their money back — either for the exhibition opening gala in February, which was an $85 ticket, or for the exhibition itself. (OMA admission is $20 per adult.) Elsewhere in the letter, Flax waxed philosophical on the fallout: “Museums experience scandals, just like any other institution, maybe even more than most. What sets the OMA apart is its foolishness in burying its head in the sand. The New York Times did not accuse nor imply that in being duped (at best) or being accomplices (at worst), we are yokels,” wrote Flax. “This seems to be the elephant in the room that only locals see. In my opinion, the museum were not yokels in your stupidity to deal with criminals, but did act like yokels in deciding to do nothing to remedy the situation.”

Celebrating Dab Day? Here’s a primer on new concentrates, distillates, wax, shatter, crumble and moon rocks available in Florida

After the avalanche of awful news

emerging from our nation’s capital over recent weeks, I’m not really in the mood for celebrating Independence Day this year. Instead, I’m skipping right over the Fourth of July and jumping straight into 7/10, better known to cannabis connoisseurs as “Oil Day” or “Dab Day.” As a proud patient enrolled in Florida’s medical marijuana program, I usually imbibe the old-fashioned way, using whole flower (or bud). But as Victoria Walker, the vice president of regional marketing at Cannabist, told me in a recent phone interview, there’s good reason for consumers’ ever-increasing interest in oils, dabs and other cannabis-derived concentrates. “It really does allow for choice for the customer, and I think that’s really what people are looking for, because everybody’s different in their preferences,” says Walker, explaining why she thinks concentrates now make up about 50 percent of Cannabist’s sales. “Smoking is obviously something that’s not easy to necessarily do; maybe you don’t want to do it in your house, or you live with other people, so a vape cart can be a bit more discreet.” Those oil vaporizer cartridges — available with disposable or rechargeable batteries — are by far the most popular method of concentrate delivery, serving as a gateway to the category for many (including myself ). The potent liquid inside them can be extracted from the cannabis plant using a variety of methods; the two employed by Cannabist are ethanol distillation — which blends isolated THC with flavor-producing compounds called terpenes derived from botanical plants and fruits — and full-spectrum CO2 extraction, which preserves the pot’s natural terpenes. If you just want an economical buzz and candylike flavors, botanical distillate will do the job, but I personally prefer full-spectrum extracts that retain, as Walker puts it, “much more of the smell and taste of the flower product itself.” Since I’m already familiar with vapes (see Live Active Cultures’ last Dab Day column,

July 7, 2021), I visited Cannabist’s east Orlando location to explore some more advanced offerings with regional marketing manager Tia August, who walked me through their extensive menu. [Full disclosure: products described below were provided free for review purposes.] The last time I was at that dispensary, it was under the Columbia Care banner, and the store’s transformation from sterile medical clinic to welcoming wood-toned wellness bar is almost as impressive as its expanded selection of concentrates. The next step up from vape carts is syringes of distillate, which can be ingested or inhaled, either alone or mixed with flower and kief (THC-laden trichome dust) to form “moon rocks.” Just don’t make my mistake by refilling used carts with a distillate syringe; the mess isn’t worth the savings. A related fullspectrum extract, Rick Simpson Oil (or RSO), is a tar-like goo that isn’t typically inhaled, but makes amazing topical and edible treatments; Cannabist’s newly launched RSO chocolate drops (in dark and milk marshmallow varieties) had better balanced body effects and flavor than any distillate-based chocolate I’ve tried. Finally, there’s the big leagues: wax, shatter, crumble, and other highly concentrated extracts of varying solidity. Consuming these products usually requires the use a specialized electronic pen or a “dab rig,” a water pipe with a quartz bowl capable of handling temperatures as high as 600 degrees Fahrenheit. Such a setup can cost hundreds of dollars, and calculating dosages can be tricky. Luckily, Cannabist offers a unique stepping stone into extracts called “dab tabs.” These tiny ceramic pellets, which resemble miniature Altoid mints, each come infused with 50 mil-

ligrams of extract. They fit perfectly inside the small oven of my favorite flower vaporizer and leave behind no messy residue, making them ideal concentrate training wheels. The Lemon Do-Si-Do tasted exactly like its namesake and provided hours of pep without feeling racey, while one tab of the Northern Lights locked me into my couch for the evening. Although it may seem like the variety is already overwhelming, there’s a whole new world of concentrates just on the horizon, since the use of butane and other hydrocarbon solvents was legalized in Florida late last year. Walker confirms that Cannabist is currently exploring these newly available extraction methods, calling the science behind them “really awesome” and pointing out, “The West Coast has been at this for a long, long time. There are so many varieties of concentrates, and I think that’s where you’ll see Florida going, if they haven’t already. A lot of producers have really started learning those additional extraction methods, giving people more choice and more variety in the way that they medicate.” If this column has inspired you to get your dab on this 7/10, Walker ended our conversation with some words of wisdom worth concentrating on. “Always start low, go slow,” Walker counsels those new to cannabis concentrates, which (at 75 percent to 90 percent THC) can be four or five times more potent by weight than typical marijuana flower. “The more concentrated the product, the higher the THC, the more it will affect you,” she adds, advising users to document their dosage and effects in a journal. “Just be prepared to experience the new method … I wouldn’t suggest having a lot of plans.” skubersky@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

favor of the tiny lamb sliders ($13) set before us. They’re served on King’s Hawaiian rolls and topped with feta, tzatziki, tomato and cuke. It’s another item from the Dexter’s recipe Rolodex, and it’s a worthy starter. So are the leek and potato latkes ($9). They’re listed on the brunch menu, which the host inexplicably handed to us at 7 p.m., but they happened to be on the dinner menu as well. And they were fire. Like eye-openingly spicy — not that it bothered us too much. Besides, there was likely no shortage of antacids in this crowd. The bit of burn in the blackened triggerfish sandwich ($15) was all but extinguished by the copious amount of salt seasoning the fillet. A shame, considering the fish was cooked perfectly, and the accompanying sweet potato fries were addictive. But looking around the large room, the blunder took on less importance. Folks genuinely seemed to be having a blast. “I’m having a pretty good time,” confessed the pal, who then proceeded to take a sip of his old-fashioned ($12) and sing along to the chorus of “Take It Easy.” I spooned some chocolate mousse ($8) into my yap and took in the lively scene. “It’s like Dexter’s on steroids,” Badalli says of his restaurant, and it kind of is. Steroids mixed with Lipitor, plus a whole lot of conviviality and throwback feels. There’s an endearing quality to the place, but there’s also no denying that, at Fredster’s, what’s old is old again.

[ film + tv ] Trigger Point — The members of a bomb squad have to thwart a summerlong terrorist campaign in a thriller series from the U.K.’s ITV. The show follows in the tradition of suspenseful British productions like Line of Duty, Vigil and Pardon, But Would You Mind Removing Your Grenade From My Rectum, Terribly? (Peacock)

FRIDAY, JULY 8: Black Bird — Taron Egerton plays a drug dealer who may be law enforcement’s best chance to bring a murderer to justice in this reality-based miniseries developed by author Dennis Lehane. The late Ray Liotta portrays the character’s dad — and what a tragedy it is when an actor is struck down just as he’s making that difficult casting-type transition from “fink” to “father of the fink.” (Apple TV+)

Warriors on the Field — Racism in the world of Australian football is one of the subjects explored in this documentary profile of three Indigenous players. If you’d rather hear there’s no racism at all in the world of Australian football, you’ll have to wait for a profile of three disingenuous players. (Amazon Prime)

Boo, Bitch — And in the category of Titles That Are Too Good to Waste So Many Months Out From Halloween, we have this eight-episode limited series about a highschooler who discovers that being newly dead might do wonders for her popularity. Could be fun — although I’m a bit worried by the apparent message to all the cutters out there that they just weren’t committed enough to the bit. (Netflix)

Streaming premieres you won’t want to miss by Steve Schneider

WEDNESDAY, JULY 6: Girl in the Picture — Tired of true-crime series based on podcasts? This true-crime series is being released simultaneously with its own podcast! As the show delves into the mysterious death of one Sharon Marshall, the audio version will provide supplementary interviews and information about the case. I think it would be a kick if they buried the actual solution on the podcast just to see if anybody was paying attention. (Netflix) Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between — Teen romance gets complicated as a couple of pragmatic kids who have decided not to let their relationship last past high school begin to question the wisdom of that decision. Are you listening, United States Supreme Court? Sometimes it’s best to hold onto what you have! (Netflix) King of Stonks — Germany trains its world-renowned sense of humor on the subject of business startups, in a dramedy series about a financial technology firm that will do anything to become a power

(Netflix) Maggie — A psychic who can predict her own future has to decide whether to succumb to romance anyway in this 13-episode sitcom, which was greenlit for ABC’s 2021-22 season before going exclusively to streaming.

Dangerous Liaisons — Hey, here’s an idea: update Les Liaisons dangereuses so it’s all about the machinations of modern-day teens. And it was a fine idea indeed back in 1999, when Cruel Intentions came out. But that was a version made in America, so the makers of this new French adaptation have plausible deniability if they want to claim they’ve never even heard of the thing. And honestly, I wouldn’t put that past people who call McDonald’s “McDo” so they can pretend it’s nouvelle cuisine. (Netflix)

TUESDAY, JULY 12: Bill Burr: Live at Red Rocks — The comedian and podcaster sounds off about cancel culture, feminism and everything else we desperately need a middle-aged white man to explain to us right now. (Netflix)

The Sea Beast — A monster hunter’s search for a fabled sea creature is complicated by the arrival of a young stowaway. I’d like to think the moral of this animated feature is “Leave animals alone if they aren’t hurting you.” But given that the mighty hunter is voiced by Karl Urban of The Boys, the underlying philosophy is probably closer to “Harpoon that fucker and make its kids watch the livestream.” (Netflix) orlandoweekly.com

How to Change Your Mind — Author Michael Pollan adapts his book of the same name into a docuseries that explores the potential benefits of psychedelics. Pollan says his own experience with LSD and similar drugs caused him to undergo a complete “ego dissolution.” I bet Netflix is going to want to keep that in mind when they’re cutting his residual checks!

OUT OF THE ‘GRAVES’ Purity Ring’s Megan James talks sewing costumes for tour, starting a record label and new EP ‘Graves’ BY MEL I SSA P EREZ-C A R R I L LO

urity Ring — the duo of Megan James and Corin Roddick — are midway through their Land Voyage 2022 tour, and nightly they’re performing tracks from their first three albums and the new Graves minialbum, which was released on their new record label, The Fellowship. Graves has been years in the making; the band had been sitting on the title track alone for eight years. The track was originally supposed to go on their second album, 2015’s Another Eternity, but it just didn’t feel right for the time. In October 2020, James headed over to Roddick’s place to work on music, and he pulled up the first version of “Graves” that they had made. She had forgotten about the track after not hearing it in years, but something clicked when James heard it again. That’s when the duo decided to build an entire EP around it. “I don’t know what happened, but all of the sudden it felt ready. We’ve changed. Music has changed,” says James. “It felt like a better time now to put it out than it did then for whatever reason.” As their fall 2021 tour was postponed due to the pandemic, Purity Ring decided to delay the release of Graves so that they could tour with these new tracks. They opted for a mini-album over a full-length record, because they didn’t want the pressure of trying to make it extremely cohesive. “It was sort of like each song was its own self, rather than trying to make them each other,” says James. As Purity Ring were making Graves, they had no idea how they would release it. Though they had released three albums with storied indie imprint 4AD, they decided to release it themselves. (This is very on-brand for the duo. Prior to their stint with 4AD, Purity Ring’s first songs were self-released, and they’ve always had their own studio.) “It’s very true to the nature of Purity Ring. We really want our art to be as ‘from us’ as we can,” James says. “That’s always been really important to us — to be self-sufficient and to be independent in whatever ways we can.” This includes sewing her own costumes for shows. One of James’ favorites outfits of this tour is a curtain jacket filled with ruffles from head to toe, inspired by her dream bedroom. She’s already made a second one for the tour. “This is what I do. I love to sew. I love to make clothes,” says James. “It was one of those things where I didn’t

know how it would turn out, and it looked better than I thought it would.” One piece, called simply “the dress,” is an ethereal, voluminous white dress with cloud-like sleeves, complete with lights tucked under the skirt. It’s made from 65 yards of taffeta and took four days to make. The dress was inspired by lyrics for the track “Rubyinsides” off Purity Ring’s 2020 album WOMB: “If I could, I would let you see through me.” James explains that she wanted something that would light up and be transparent. The lighting for the dress would inspire the stage lighting for the Land Voyage tour, but the reference to “Rubyinsides” was the only album reference for the clothes. “Aside from that, most of the clothes I make for stage are like ‘Will I be comfortable? Does it look good when danced in? Can I wear it every day and wash it?’ Because it’s summer, and there’s a lot of sweating,” James laughs. As they finish up their Land Voyage tour, Purity Ring are

asking fans attending shows to wear masks to ensure the duo can finish the tour safely alongside their team — and their audience. “Let’s take care of each other,” James says. “You have gotten something from this music that’s important to you, and I care a lot about finishing this tour safely.”

Few bands push intensity and emotion as equally and seamlessly as Orlando’s Gillian Carter. That ability for explosive catharsis has long kept them one of the area’s leading and most distinctive forces in heavy music. While they’ve been steady presences on the live circuit, the band hadn’t released any new original material in nearly four years. Just recently, though, they dropped two releases in very short order totaling three new songs. This material — the first batch of tracks that were all mixed and mastered in-house by singer-guitarist Logan Rivera — is a long-awaited continuation of Gillian Carter’s extraordinarily dimensional brand of rock extremity. But while this torrent pulls from their usual mighty headwaters of posthardcore and screamo, some of the new stuff shows fresh metal edges. This new heaviness is especially salient on the two-track Songs of Summer release. After an onslaught so heavy and dense that it leaves you breathless after only 45 seconds, opening track “Terminal Brain” drops into and rides out on a wicked, chugging metal breakdown. The hatchet grooves further make their way into “Quit Trying. You Failed” — an epic cliff dive that features falling skies of guitars above and furious beats below. Then, only two weeks later, Gillian Carter quickly followed that up with an even newer single, “Healers of Dead Praise,” a widescreen song that’s as melodic as it is tornadic. It’s a deluge of crushing force and colossal beauty, a feat made even more extraordinary by the fact that the song was crafted in its entirety by Rivera alone in a single day. While Gillian Carter’s output was sparse for a spell there, they’re back out the gate

Ekkstacy’s own shimmering music deftly spans electronic and rock with a melodic instinct that’s gorgeously understated. (7 p.m. Friday, July 8, Plaza Live, $25.50-$45.50) Foxing, Greet Death: St. Louis post-emo band Foxing stunned a packed house when they were here in 2018 with a breathtakingly more expansive new sound. From their sweeping 2021 follow-up album, Draw Down the Moon, we should expect more of the same. But be sure to show up early and check out opener Greet Death, an excellent Michigan band whose indie rock injects slowcore introspection with shoegaze wingspan.

They lead up to a new full-length album planned for this autumn on Skeletal Lightning, the label that’s also home to Rainer Maria’s Caithlin de Marrais and fellow Floridian highlights Zeta and Dikembe.

Left to Die

Chuck Schuldiner left this cursed plane of existence in 2001. The Orlando musician was best known as the mainstay vocalist-guitarist of death-metal innovators Death, who helped perfect the death-metal template of guttural vocals, riffs that actually sounded gory (possible!) and a fascination with the bloodier side of life — and then, over the course of seven studio albums, took particular delight in twisting and stretching that original template into wild new shapes and forms. Late last year, Tampa’s Brass Mug hosted a two-night musical tribute to Schuldiner’s art with all-star ensembles (the majority creative fellow travelers with Schuldiner) re-creating classic Death music. Several participants in that event — Death alumni Rick Rozz and Terry Butler, as well as Gus Rios and Matt Harvey from Gruesome — regrouped after those shows as Left to Die. The brief is simple and yet herculean: Play Death’s classic second album, Leprosy, live on stage every single night of a North American tour, plus a clutch of other classic Death tunes. These men are uniquely qualified for this daunting task, and you’d best not miss it. Opening are Skeletal Remains, Mortuous and Intoxicated. 7 p.m., The Haven Lounge, 6700 Aloma Ave., Winter Park, thehavenrocks.com, $22. — Matthew Moyer SATURDAY, JULY 9

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, S AT U R D AY N I G H T AT T H E BEACHAM

The last time indie-electronic stalwarts Animal Collective were set to play Orlando was back in 2016, the show was unfortunately — and unavoidably — scuppered due to a death in the family. Members of the band went above and beyond to make up for it, though; in 2019 Avey Tare (with Deakin pitching in) and Geologist played a show under their solo guises that drew raves and swoons from the sold-out crowd in attendance. Fast-forward to 2022, and Animal Collective are again touring — this time behind new album Time Skiffs — and again beset by logistical obstacles, like a brush with COVID that derailed a number of shows in May and June. But the band are undeterred, starting a new leg of North American touring this week with a cluster of startup shows here in the Sunshine State. Animal Collective will play the Beacham, a good choice in that the quartet have long outgrown their underground (masked) roots and crossed over to a large audience that will be no doubt eager to see them. Time Skiffs, released earlier this year, has been hailed as a harmonious (heh) balance between the group’s earlier, wild-eyed and freeform experimentation and their latter-day knack for a memorable melody or three. On this tour, besides

iParty with DJ Matt Bennett A few years back, Robbie from Victorious put his insultslinging puppet Rex down and traded him in for a set of decks. And so it was that the mainstay of Nickelodeon shows like iCarly, Victorious and Sam & Cat found a new life as DJ Matt Bennett. Be prepared to “freak the freak out” this weekend as Bennett brings his iParty to the House of Blues, spinning nothing but classic Nickelodeon and Disney hits. 2000s kids, take note: Bennett goes hard with a playlist drawing from Disney movie soundtracks like Lemonade Mouth, High School Musical and The Cheetah Girls. The Nickelodeon hits in his record bag draw from shows like iCarly and Big Time Rush. (Was I the only one who didn’t know Selena Gomez sang the Shake It Up theme song?) With this party blowing up on TikTok, don’t have FOMO — “take a hint” and live it up with the folks who are too young to be millennials and don’t really understand what the hell is up with Gen-Z. 8:30 p.m., House of Blues, Disney Springs, houseofblues.com/orlando, $15-35. — Patricia Tolley SUNDAY, JULY 10

New Kids on the Block And speaking of generation gaps … Youngs, lock up your Gen-X parents, NKOTB are coming to town. And they’re leaning hard into the nostalgia factor with another installment of their ‘Mixtape’ tour, sharing the stage with various 1980s pop peers. The lineup is strong — the stuff from which crush mixtapes were once made — with supporting acts in the form of Rick Astley, Salt-N-Pepa and En Vogue. Each were able to fill arenas at various points in their careers … or to Rickroll millions. The structure of the show is actually pretty innovative, harkening back to old variety-show tours in the form of one long set (or side of a tape) with acts bouncing back and forth on two stages, playing a few songs at a time. Apparently the OG boy band even indulge in an absflash or six, so get ready to scream. Hangin’ tough is not optional, it is mandatory. 7:30 p.m., Amway Center, 400 W.
