#DeSantis

[porterdavis]

Tl;dr -- It seems DeSantis diverted $10MM in impounded funds meant for the State of Florida to a charity run by his wife, who then sent it on to one of his PACs. Even FL Republicans are calling it sleazy and illegal.

Say goodnight Ron.

So things in Florida are going well.

As a Floridian, this is one of the funnier headlines I’ve read ☀️🌴🐊

Ron DeSantis Tanks in the Polls As Voters Get to Know Him

How did attacking a harmless minority, one few Americans care about or even really understand, become the top policy priority of one of the two major political parties in the US? The answer isn’t complicated, and it has nothing to do with trans people at all. The anti-trans moral panic was manufactured to sell Ron DeSantis as the savior of the Republican party after Trump. Everything else ultimately stems from the miscalculation that tried, and failed, to bring us President Meatball Ron.

Everyone is mocking DeSantis today, but he's a monster.

I dearly hope he loses his cherished governorship in 2026. Surely Floridians won't re-elect him again after this disastrous episode?

Update: I have just been informed Florida has a 2-term limit, so DeSantis is definitely out in 2026! Yayy! Unless he manages to change the rules, hmmmmm

Librarians Against Clause 28

Section 28 legislation [Clause 27/28] was introduced in 1988 to ban the "promotion of homosexuality" in the UK. Schools and councils were unable to provide young LGBTQ+ people with help. This homophobic legislation was partly introduced following the outcry over "Jenny Lives with Eric and Martin" being available to schoolchildren in Haringey. This picture book described the life of five-year-old Jenny, her father Martin, and his boyfriend Eric who lives with them.⁠ There was also increasing homophobia in the mainstream press due to the AIDS crisis and, when Margaret Thatcher spoke at the 1987 Conservative Party Conference, she declared how children were "being taught that they have an inalienable right to be gay" and "all of those children are being cheated of a sound start in life". Section 28 was finally repealed on 21 June 2001 in Scotland and on 18 November 2003 in the rest of the UK.

"DeSantis' action to investigate FEMA — and through that agency, the federal government – serves as an opening salvo to a confrontation centered on the Ninth Amendment and the Tenth Amendment…"

Saying trump is better than desantis is like saying it’s better to microwave a kitten than bake it in the oven

In the latest video, however, a Nazi symbol flashes on the screen with a row of marching soldiers on either side of it and Gov. Ron DeSantis' face fading in.

New DeSantis video just dropped and it's.. something. He's literally posting images of himself superimposed atop WWII Nazi symbols, flanked by marching Nazi troops.

So uh, something that they deleted it shortly thereafter.

How Trump’s Crackdown Is Drastically Driving Down Migration

Illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border are down to their lowest level in decades. Once-crowded migrant shelters are empty. Instead of heading north, people stranded in Mexico are starting to return home in bigger numbers. The border is almost unrecognizable from just a couple of years ago, when hundreds of thousands of people from around the world were crossing into the United States every…

The State University System of Florida has at least two institutions with active National SJP chapters, according to Rodrigues. Citing state law that deems the knowing provision of material support to a terrorist group as a felony, he said that the two chapters cannot continue operating.

“These chapters exist under the headship of the National Students for Justice in Palestine, who distributed a toolkit identifying themselves as part of the Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” the memo stated. “Based on the National SJP’s support of terrorism, in consultation with Governor DeSantis, the student chapters must be deactivated. These two student chapters may form another organization that complies with Florida state statutes and university policies. The two institutions should grant these two chapters a waiver for the fall deadlines, should reapplication take place.”

The measure will affect SJP chapters at the University of North Florida, located in Jacksonville, and Florida State University, located in Tallahassee.

Support for terrorism against Israeli civilians among SJP chapters is not new. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), for example, reported that SJP expressed on at least 10 occasions last year admiration for Leila Khaled, a member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a US-designated terror group. She is known for previously hijacking two planes.

Other SJP chapters at the University of Texas, Dallas, New York University Law School, and the University of Massachusetts posted violent images containing PLFP’s logo and guns. In January, the University of Chicago’s SJP chapter honored Khairy Alqam — who murdered seven Israeli civilians exiting a synagogue in Jerusalem — in a collage titled “Honoring the Martyrs.”

DeSantis has taken previous steps to crack down on anti-Israel activity in Florida.
