    What's funny is "never backing down" is a terrible quality in a leader. It means they can't negotiate, concede, compromise, or admit mistakes. If I was interviewing someone for a management Position and they told me they'd never back down I would laugh

    Florida Judge Throws Out DeSantis-Backed Congressional Map, Rules in Favor of Civil Rights Groups

    The ruling, which is likely to be appealed, delivered another redistricting win for Democrats in the Southeast after a series of cases in the region have given the party more opportunities to flip Republican-controlled House seats ahead of what will be a contentious fight for control of the legislative chamber next year.

    The Florida case hinged on claims that Florida lawmakers violated a provision of the state constitution protecting minority-access districts in 2022 when they diluted the Black vote in one Northern Florida district by dividing it into four different districts.

    Civil rights groups served as the plaintiffs in this case, who argued that the proposed redistricting violated the constitution. The state, serving as the defendants, was then put in the position of arguing that state constitution violates the federal constitution, so the state constitution's provision isn't enforceable.

    “It's a little bit weird for a state to be challenging its own constitution in state court,” Michael Li, senior counsel at the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, previously told The Messenger. The constitutional amendments in question were passed by voters more than a decade ago, Li noted, as part of an effort to prevent lawmakers from drawing gerrymandered congressional maps.

    And, DeSantis wasn’t wearing his happy white comfort boots, so he probably started off a little fearful and anxious …

    Not actually Florida, just seems like it. They use vague standards that give notice, emphasize the offense of the dominant group, and target gays.

    China could ban clothes that ‘hurt feelings’


    Bloomberg
    China’s public is expressing concern about a potential legal change that would allow for fines and even jail time for people who offend the government’s sensibilities by wearing the wrong clothing.

    The lawmakers didn’t spell out exactly what could get people sent to a detention center for up to 15 days or fined up to 5,000 yuan ($680). They have listed the law among their priorities for this year.

    Authorities have also clamped down on people wearing shirts with rainbows at concerts and distributing flags on a university campus that had the pro-LGBTQ+ symbol on them. The flag episode occurred at the prestigious Tsinghua University, which gave two students official reprimands.

    Ronnie says that some liberal states have post-birth abortions. His moribund campaign sure could use one lol.

    No state permits "post-birth abortion." None. Probably because there's no such thing. DeSantis is a bold-faced liar.

    Utter garbage.

    This tool is getting destroyed nationally.

    This comeuppance wasnt nearly good enough. Beating him when he runs for Senator is going to be a really good time. May have to crack open the Balvenie 30 when that happens.

    DeSantis is a perfect example of a post-birth abortion.
