>Last October, Florida State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo issued an extraordinary warning. Based an analysis of Florida residents, Ladapo asserted that being vaccinated for COVID-19 resulted in an “increased risk for cardiac-related mortality” in...
Fascism in Florida: #DeathSantis suspended the elected Orange-Osceola State Attorney Monique Worrell, he accused her of failing to impose mandatory sentences for gun & drug crimes & allowing juveniles to avoid incarceration. DeSantis previously suspended Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren last year. Andrew Bain, the judge appointed to replace State Attorney Monique Worrell is a member of the Federalist Society. https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida-politics/2023/08/09/desantis-suspends-monique-worrell-state-attorney-prosecutor/
Is👿#DeathSantis rooting for #Idalia to hit a Dem stronghold in FL?👿#TFG & Kushner cheered on Covid to spread in Cal. bc: mostly Dem voters. Some members of the #GOPDeathCult view death differently from most of us. DeSantis: 'What we've had in this country is a pretty significant decline in life expectancy -ppl aren’t living as long as they used to, so that should help protect them from losing SS & MDCR protections when they get old." Covid killed ~90K in FL, 85% were 60+🚨 https://floridapolitics.com/archives/631089-desantis-life-expectancy/
#DeathSantis is doubling down on his political move to right -becoming more Hitleresque: DeSantis Vows To Crack Down On Both Illegal & Legal Migration Into US🚨-Daily Wire. "What this idea was under #TFG was to tell millions of immigrants that they can never bring their parents here *or any family member except a spouse or minor child. It’s a very American individualist response-make it so the only options are throw grandma in a home or leave." -A Reichlin-Melnick, American IMG Council Policy Dir
MSM is focused on #TFG. He's not in court today, they could cover how Rs are passing laws that jeopardize the health & lives of IMGs/POC/Women/LGBTQ ppl...
#DeathSantis hid behind closed doors when signing the bill.
"Modern politics: Death of Shame, politicians -no longer shamed of behavior that'd humiliate most decent souls. FL makes it illegal to guarantee shade & water to outdoor WKRS. Recently a FL farm worker died from heat exhaustion."
#DeathSantis has sabotaged his state over culture wars & anti-immigrant policies. He's not pro-business, he's a wannabe RW dictator: Construction workers say many employees haven't showed up to work bc they fear deportation🚨. Critics say Florida Senate Bill 1718 is to blame. If signed by Gov DeSantis, businesses could face a $10K fine for every undocumented employee & the state could revoke their bus license. Many construction workers say they are fearful of the future-: https://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/people-arent-showing-up-to-work-south-florida-workers-already-feeling-heat-of-immigration-bill/
The pace of sea level rise is expected to speed up dramatically -took ~80 yrs for the 1st ft, 2nd: will take 30 yrs -next, 20 yrs. FL could see the next foot in merely a decade after that. Projection: 2 ft by 2060 -would be a shock to the system for Miami -aver. elevation is 3 ft. Local & ST: spending $Bs to keep streets dry. Pinning down exactly how much sea rise S FL could experience is a tough task. https://phys.org/news/2024-05-sea-faster-south-florida.html
FLORIDA RESIDENTS:
In light of new legislation passed by fascist Hitler wannabe Ron DeSantis, I checked my voting and mail-in ballot status. I was still registered, but they purged me from the mail-in ballot request list. I had to redo the request.
If you reside in FL, please check your registration and ballot status every few months, and especially as elections loom. #DeathSantis #VotingReformNow #FloridaFascism
When #MAGA Republicans hold power, the Constitution isn't upheld:
#DeathSantis signed a new law today that guts oversight of police.
The law furthers limit local civilian police oversight boards by barring them from investigating allegations of police misconduct. Police unions support the law -it protects the rights of officers. Critics: another blow to police accountability efforts already shackled by existing state laws giving cops extraordinary legal protections-.
The Republicans' goal of a fascist America is already present in many🩸red states, esp. under #DeathSantis:
You could soon be fined for defamation for calling someone racist in FL. FL Rs have introduced a new bill that'd silence basically any accusations of discrimination. The bill that'd make it defamation to accuse someone of racism, sexism, homophobia, or transphobia, also removes certain journalistic privileges, esp. the right to keep sources anonymous.
Nazis are armed & coddled in Florida, by #DeathSantis, elected officials… They whitewash & remove Black history, allow white supremacists to spew hatred, organize, & commit acts of violence with easy access to🔫 s & permitless carry. Jacksonville mayor: There’s absolutely no evidence the shooter is part of a any larger group. He was radicalized by FL Nazis, online… 3 Black Floridians were massacred & nothing will be done to prevent further carnage, esp. to POC & LBGTQ ppl. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/shooting-multiple-fatalities-dollar-general-store-jacksonville/
Florida lawmakers want to grow the state’s National Guard. I'm all for that if it will help DOD and provide more support to our national military effort.
Unfortunately, #DeathSantis just wants a larger private army to use for political posturing like he's using them right now in Texas
"FL, where woke goes to die" -#DeathSantis. A growing number of scientists & public-health experts are worried that the gov. of America's 3rd largest state may be adding a 2nd risk of death to that list. Alarming: Ladapo, FL's surgeon general, is telling residents<65 to avoid a new anti-Covid booster vaccine. History & science suggest that some folks who refuse to become "guinea pigs" could be corpses, or will suffer the debilitating impact of long #COVID. #AntiScienceGOPhttps://www.inquirer.com/opinion/florida-covid-vaccine-denial-desantis-20230917.html
A probable decline in Florida's home prices should've been expected. Residents are late to understand their peril, some are deciding to flee: #GlobalWarming, drastic increases in home insurance rates, #DeathSantis & his allies' draconian policies & laws...
"Inventory for sale just hit the highest level in over 3 years. 📈
And is now trending above the long-term norms.
Suggests prices across Florida's Housing Market could come down." -Nick Gerli
Florida fascist Republican death-cult governor Ron DeathSantis approves plan to import cheaper pharmaceutical drugs from country with price-regulated, woke, pinko-commie universal healthcare, but refuses woke, pinko-commie federal healthcare subsidies (Medicaid) to cover low-income Floridians.
US big pharma responds with warning: If your fascist, healthcare-denying US state imports the identical drugs we sell for less to different country with price-regulated, woke, pinko-commie universal healthcare, these drugs will “pose a serious danger to public health.”
Why does #DeathSantis hire loyalists who harm Floridians? How could spreading deadly viruses...? His SG is anti-vax with a #LetItRip policy for Measles, Covid...
"FL SG says unvaccinated kids can continue to go to school. Unprecedented -kids need to stay home for 21 days during an outbreak -chance of infection, hospitalization, death or serious damage to the immune system -kids can get a vaccine if exposed within the past 72 hrs & if they get vaccinated -can return to-."
-Dr K Jetelina #Measles
The "stay and fight" and "only losers leave" mentality, when it comes to living in a fascist state such as Florida, Tennessee, Texas, etc., is simply not valid.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but it is OK to vote with your feet and leave a terrible situation.
Would the "stay and fight" and "only losers leave" folks apply that logic to abusive relationships, toxic environments, unbearable employers, and the like? I think not.
Those who have the ability to leave an undesirable or dangerous scenario should do so. Your life is yours to spend in the environment you choose, and your safety and well-being are of utmost importance.
