    Just like he shut down the entire country at the beginning of the pandemic?

    She'll come back and correctly point out she didnt claim he was president but her post is still a lie.

    May 31st 2020:



    "Protesting such brutality is right and necessary. It’s an utterly American response. But burning down communities and needless destruction is not. Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not."

    And yet it won’t hurt her at all at the polls. GOP voters openly enjoy being lied to to their faces.

    Fort Mose is being reconstructed! A bit surprised this accurate history is being permitted

    “One thing that’s enthusiasm-generating is that this is the history of Florida, and people are getting to understand that Florida settlements were older than the New England ones and the Virginia ones, older than the 13 colonies,” said Chip Storey, a historian and Fort Mose Historical Society board member.

    They do some really cool reenactments there. Awesome that they are going to rebuild the fort.

    He’s hit Rick - I mean rock - bottom. DeSantis signs bill deleting climate change mentions from Florida state law | CNN Politics
    “As Florida copes with rising seas and record temperatures, lawmakers are going to exceptional lengths to delete many mentions of climate change from state laws in a new bill that Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law on Wednesday, according to his official X account.

    “Florida rejects the designs of the left to weaken our energy grid, pursue a radical climate agenda, and promote foreign adversaries,” DeSantis said in a post on X, posting a graphic that said the law would protect the state from “green zealots.”

    That DeSantis and his legislature passed such a law indicates a great many Floridians agree with them, Sadly, human history is replete with short-sighted and small-minded men who impeded progress. This is even more outrageous because our planet, for our descendants, is at stake.

    The "Rick" part.

    To fill the void created by deleting references to climate change, the phrase "climatic coincidences" has been approved.

    I really wish the dems were smart enough to fight back against this Arcadian movement by the radical right.....but I don't think they are. We're screwed.

    So disappointing because this is one of the few areas where our Governor had not been that extreme and had been more civic-minded. No longer.

    Talk about a law in need of reform


    Bryan Howard was convicted of driving on a suspended license. Three times. He was convicted of fleeing the scene of an accident another two times.

    He was found guilty of careless driving in 2018, twice. He went to court three years later for driving on a suspended license — for the fourth time — but that case was dropped. That same year, Howard was sued for damages from a car crash. And earlier this month, he crashed his mother’s car into a tree.

    Yet early Tuesday morning, according to the Florida Highway Patrol, Howard had a valid state driver’s license when his truck slammed into a bus in Marion County, killing eight farmworkers and injuring at least four dozen others.

    Despite having issues on his driving record that span 18 years, Howard, 41, did not meet Florida’s legal threshold to have his license taken away, experts told the Tampa Bay Times.


    He only killed and injured farm workers this time. But next time he could kill/injure those we see as human
