What's happening in DeSantistan 2.0

That might have come to me in a dream later tonight.

 

I sincerely doubt that anyone you represented was anywhere near as reprehensible a pos as desi is. If you sign up to rep that pos be prepared to defend his positions or find a different line of work

 

Randy Fine is a disgusting turd. BTW, all the yapping that he does about public schools? His kids attend one.

 

Very very powerful piece about a Manatee teacher. Defies easy summary or a pull quote. Worth a full read

Can't seem to find the Trump vs. Desantis thread so I will put this here. So degrading to see this from major candidates seeking to lead the country

 

"Woke grooming book" is so cringe. Must kill inside their bubble though.

 

Fair.

 

Think this one was pure ideological: he would close it if he could

 

Speaks for itself

 

Report on Florida Medicaid enrollment

 

Has anyone noticed that Ron seems to have appropriated his campaign slogan from the Gators?

"Won't Back Down" Gators
"Never Back Down" Ron

 

More of the same. Even worse

 

DeSantistan now has the most extensive fast rail system in the US.

 

Not Florida, but posted here because this is the kind of factual history that you have to be very wary if you mention it in a Florida classroom

I'm just dropping by to say how disgusted I am with the attacks on transgender folks. DeSantis and all those who agree with him on this issue like to frame the matter as "protecting" our youth and our Christian way of life. In reality, they are harming an infinitesimally small portion of our population, and their efforts are contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Moreover, they are not promoting our way of life, but threatening it.

Why is it so hard to practice kindness?

 

This is why I could never be armed, because I would try to use my weapon and probably be shot first if I witnessed this


The Bowerses felt safe, and their daughter delighted. She calls Pride the “rainbow parade.”

“It’s everything a 4-year-old girl could possibly want,” Bowers said.

Then, on the way back to the car, a protester with a microphone took aim.

Pointing at the couple, he chided: “You are pedophiles.”

At the same time, another street preacher called out to children passing by: “Disavow your parents. God will send you all to hell.”

Their daughter was scared.

“They didn’t care that these were kids,” Bowers said. “It was really nasty. It cut deep.”
