Desantis has done already done this! Our textbooks are 'special' to elaborate on the 'bright' side while ignoring the grotesque acts literally IN OUR BACKYARD! Dozier school, Jim Crow, separate beaches! etc. The intersectionality of enumerated protections is at stake now at school boards near you.
Just an astonishing, powerful op-ed that drives home what we are losing and what's already been lost. We are so incredibly fortunate to live with the advances modern medicine and health science. Destroying and stymieing it is just unforgivable. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...
Florida. It may be selfish of me since I try to still live here, but do NOT let Desantis' attack on LGBTfolx overshadow the Q Flynn, 'slit their throats', P2025, Trump HQ, 'camp' grifting, Proudbyz/M4L, toxic brew. FYI 9/11 terrorists lived here. J6 terrorists LIVE here. 🐊A/🧊 guards go where?
QAnon memes were not a small part of what mobilized Trump’s January 6th mob. Ignoring this is a dangerous mistake and we are making it twice.
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound? Everybody look what's going down. Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid. You step out of line, the man come and take you away. Books are being banned in Alberta, Canada. 😔
This is a UK organisation, and the petition currently stands at over 40,000. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the majority are supportive. The noise comes from a tiny minority.
that jewel being wasps in amber.
The cruelty, the white nationalist ideology, the unprecedented self-sabotage, the outrageous ridiculousness: The defining characteristics of this government and the inhuman, destructive policies it is pursuing, all captured perfectly here. America is now ruled by cruel, authoritarian clowns.
It's a Catch-22 at immigration courts across the country. “If they don’t show up, they’ll be deported. If they do show up, ICE is going to take them away,” says @deanobeidallah.bsky.social. @bradlander.bsky.social says, “They are abiding by the law, and it’s our government that’s breaking it.”
Criminalization is the fuel of fascism.
Elon Musk’s cars kill more people than all Trans shooters combined.

Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4. Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193. Hope that helps.
Preach Brother!👇🏼 👊🏻👏🏼👏🏼💙🇺🇸💙
How many of these ICE agents are criminals who Trump pardoned? How many of them have done cruel and inhuman acts to other humans or animals? It has to be a majority of them. This is unconscionable and unacceptable.
Legal and constitutional experts worry Trump is laying the groundwork to use the Guard to seize control of any city he wants to bring to heel. On Monday, he signed an executive order that primes the Guard “for rapid mobilization,” across the country. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/tru...
Watch Florida closely. We beta-tested P2025--still are. The 'how to' of terminating P2025 should be tested here as well. Sure would help if we had a real contender--the farther left, the better.
I’m looking forward to watching Lame Duck Ron Desantis’s attempts to gain traction to revive his dead end political career as a private citizen using money he has to raise himself rather than pissing away taxpayer funds and abusing govt power.

If one man can erase billions in spending with the stroke of a pen (overruling the representatives of 330 million Americans) that’s not democracy. That’s authoritarianism.
When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.
And by “controversial” they mean unconstitutional.
Going outta there way to make US look petty af.
The lowkey sick part is the idea that people with penises (pwp) are innately unable to control themselves? or have been raised to feel entitled to 'take' what they want? I get the 'boys will be boys' attitude is how they view it--but ?? raise pwp to be better people-start with yourself.
Like I said. They aren’t embarrassed by history, it’s their playbook.
Here is the terrifying truth: D.C. residents outnumber the populations of Vermont and Wyoming. What’s happening to them now could happen to those of us who enjoy the full privileges of the Constitution. trib.al/VmNYUSN
+the DC takeover. I fear the #ReleaseTheEpstein_files will not be the deal breaker we think. He was outrageous and lying well before 2016. People seem willing to alter reality to fit his narrative. But we owe our marginalized groups, so keep posting.
Me, waiting on the end of the Russian invasion that Trump promised on day 1.
Been a hot minute since I was able to feel some kinship with any 'akis': euxarchistoume.
Trump does not have the type of paramilitary mass organization that characterized interwar European fascism. But he is rapidly and systematically building a machinery that serves a similar purpose and functions to impose martial law in the streets.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."
HOT TAKE: this new policy on vaccines could be interpreted as a sophisticated (and outrageous) form of eugenics 🤔
Today is Women’s Equality Day and the 105th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, ensuring women have the right to vote. We must keep pushing forward in the pursuit of equality – from reproductive freedom to equal wages – will continue to fight for the rights of all women.

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

Trump doesn't answer whether he'd move troops from South Korea -- says "I feel very warmly toward South Korea" -- but says he wants U.S. ownership, rather than lease, over the land where U.S. troops are stationed in South Korea.
Nearly 1,400 people died after Hurricane Katrina crashed into Louisiana and Mississippi. Most of the deaths were in New Orleans, which has had an uneven recovery in the past 20 years.
ahhhh!! He did NOT, in front of Pres. Lee, just say that it was good to get along with KimJungUn?? OUT LOUD?
Should have been that way J6 at the latest.
True as all shit. Fascist, Nazi thinking = Fascist Nazi policies.
Umm … NO.
He needs to be removed from office.
This is one of those brief snippets where a straight transcript should be enough to immediately trigger the 25th amendment and one even lightly annotated by anyone capable of organized thought should sink the administration entirely.

Don't move to FLORIDA!! Desantis trying to outdo Trump for next election already.
Very much ready for a country in which "angry daddy ready to hurt someone" is not seen as a valid political identity.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Imagine thinking scientists, historians, scholars, economists, and journalists devoted their lives to deceiving you — but a reality-TV star, proven in court to be a lying felon, is your beacon of truth and honesty.”
JUST IN: A federal judge has barred the Trump admin and FL from bringing new detainees into “Alligator Alcatraz” and to dismantle some aspects of the facility as current detainees are moved out. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
?? distraction like some trigger happy ICE newbie celebrating with gun misfire??
Displacing unhoused people doesn’t make anyone safer.
Absolutely disgraceful and despicable. If you are a partner at Paul Weiss or Kirkland & Ellis you should be ashamed of yourself -- that is, if you had any shame left.
Long hot mess at #SCSB last night! Turns out trying to erase LGBTQ protections for STUDENTS requires verbal gymnastics beyond GOP skill level. At what point do elected officials own the enshrining of UNJUST laws? Florida has already hidden, by law, the egregious horrors of slavery. SHAME on #FLGOP
Speak Truth......
I quit teaching in Fl when they started pulling books for review and hid Covid data after J6. Not sure why every truth teacher didn't at least strike.

Meanwhile, Trump is giving Putin the Royal Treatment (red carpet and all). What an abomination of a so-called peace summit. They should both burn in hell.
Teachers aren’t groomers. Teachers aren’t indoctrinators. But, people have been groomed into thinking teachers are indoctrinators by those who actually want to indoctrinate kids with religious fundamentalism in public schools.

Apart from firearms, the part of training we spent the most time on (if I am recalling correctly) was legal instruction. Now the FBI is hiring people with no college degree and slashing training time in half (reducing academics, guessing ethics also). Absolute disaster www.nysun.com/article/fbi-...

Civil rights lawyers say many migrant detainees in Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz" are being barred from meeting regularly with attorneys and are being held in dangerous conditions.
Some strange people cosplaying with police gear, masked, mobile and armed?? are just allowed to scoop up folx? Why? They don't say who they are, if they are police, what suspected violations??? Kidnapping still a crime? Abetting a kidnapping? No way 'being moved to a safer location' with them!!
In other words: They lied.
Seems worth pointing out that in addition to everything else, Trump just literally rolled out the red carpet for a man who in all likelihood is the biggest trafficker of children on the planet. medicine.yale.edu/news-article...
