The proposal for some state parks sparked outrage among residents. DeSantis made it sound as if the “half-baked” plan was leaked before it was ready. But the department’s attempted public rollout shows this was a proposal in its final stages.

The state published its full plans on a government website alongside an announcement for simultaneous public meetings across Florida within a matter of days. Officials in the governor’s office showed support of the plan at first, and state officials made a series of social media graphics touting it.

Nauseating!

After banning #education (too "woke") and science and history ( #truth ) .... #DeathSantis proxies/puppets have used the physical property of New College - which he's destroyed bigly - to degrade the environment while making the once-fine institution into a sports mecca for non-woke college hopefuls.

DeSantis Declares Emergency Over Floods After Cutting Stormwater Funds

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency on Wednesday for five counties due to heavy flooding in southern Florida just the day after he cut $205 million in stormwater, wastewater, and sewer projects from the state's budget.

Heavy rains caused by a disorganized tropical system have inundated southern and western Florida since Tuesday, bringing more than a foot of rain in places and disrupting road and air travel throughout the area. The Weather Prediction Center (WPC), part of the National Weather Service, put southern Florida under a rare 4 out of 4 high risk of flooding on Thursday as rains were expected to continue there, and warned that it could be "locally catastrophic."

The rains "transformed roads into canals and caused water to seep into homes," CNNreported, while a tow truck driver in Fort Lauderdale told The Associated Press that abandoned cars everywhere reminded him of "zombie movie." ...

Sad it has taken this long, but sanity is returning

A U.S. District Court permanently blocked Florida from enforcing a ban on transition care for transgender minors and some trans adults.

In a ruling issued earlier today, Judge Robert Hinkle of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida said, “Florida has adopted a statute and rules that ban gender-affirming care for minors even when medically appropriate. The ban is unconstitutional.”

The law included bans on puberty blockers and hormone replacement therapy, restrictions from licensed healthcare providers giving care to their consenting patients, and the criminalization of care under the legislation.

Trump rival ends presidential campaign with fake Churchill quote

But the prime minister never said those words, according to the International Churchill Society.

‘We base this on careful research in the canon of fifty million words by and about Churchill, including all of his books, articles, speeches and papers,’ said the society in response to a 2013 article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution using the same quote.

Le gouverneur de Floride, Ron #DeSantis, candidat républicain à la présidence des #États-Unis, a affirmé qu' #Israël devait être soutenu jusqu'au bout dans ses décisions concernant #Gaza, et a appuyé les déclarations de certains députés israéliens selon lesquelles les Palestiniens de Gaza devraient être réinstallés dans d'autres pays.
"Si je deviens président, je ne voudrais pas qu'ils fassent une telle chose, mais s'ils doivent le faire pour éviter un second Holocauste, je pense que des pays comme l'Arabie saoudite et l'Égypte devraient accueillir des Arabes palestiniens”, a-t-il dit.

DeSantis's Orwellian "paradise"

Highest drop out rate in Florida college's history fueled by DeSantis: report

FTA (originally from The New Republic): The college's leadership team has been upended: Six members of the board of trustees have been replaced by DeSantis allies, while the college's president was ousted and replaced with the administration’s former education commissioner, Richard Corcoran. The school has also suffered a faculty exodus, the elimination of the college's diversity office, and the firing of its academic librarian.

The Guardian notes the "exodus of staff represents a staggering 40% of the entire faculty who were employed during the spring semester of the 2022-23 academic year."

The Republican/fascist mantra is, "Keep 'em poor, sick, and ignorant, and control the women." DeSantis is scoring big on all parts of the mantra.

"If [the racist murders in Florida] surprised you, you’re not paying attention. We have hateful rhetoric coming out of the mouths of politicians at the highest levels in Florida every day. From the governor to the former president, it’s hate against Black history, hate against wokeness, hate against trans people, hate against immigrants."

Well, isn't this precious?
Could it be that people are #woke to the #DeathSantis corruption and fascist assaults of civility and human respect?
Oh yes, but the question is, will/CAN the King of Woke register his lack of love, his midnight spell on voters fading fast?
