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.

Experts panic over Florida tourism as major conventions flee state’s 'unfriendly political environment'

Convention organizers are pulling out of Florida

When asked for a reason why they were scrapping plans, one organizer wrote simply: “Governor DeSantis.”

Thousands of dollars are also being lost by restaurants and attractions by visitors going elsewhere.

...Community Schools Conference – it also pulled out of more than 2,000 hotel rooms.

Internet Archive now has a menstruation information and history library, since we now live in a world with Florida bill 1069, which bans the mention of periods before sixth grade in Florida public schools.

Library is universally available:

Girls are 11 to 12 years old in the sixth grade. Many get their periods before then.

Some even get raped and pregnant at 9 years old.

Florida is a disgrace.

Thank you, Internet Archive!

Will women secure wins for Dems nationwide? They hate #DeathSantis (with good reason): 63% of women disapprove of the him, a potentially bad sign for his pres. run. 27% approve of him.
DeSantis is above water with Republican women, with 67% approval against 17% disapproval. But every other group of women voters is negative on him, with 60% of female INDEP voters & 93% of Dem women against him. No matter their age, female voters are likely to be negative-. #AbortionIsHC https://floridapolitics.com/archives/620830-ron-63-women/

How many times will Ron DeSantis lose in court? (Again and again...)

I'm sure he thinks he's the victim here, not the trans people caught in the back-and-forth of whether they'll be able to get appropriate treatment in their state.

I'm glad to see yet another restriction on trans people getting care struck down, this time on whether Medicaid will cover treatment.

Running on racism: Presidential candidate DeSantis is demanding that the US Army honor Confederate general Bragg, who fought to defend the practice of keeping Black people as slaves. In a campaign speech on June 9, DeSantis complained that under Pres Biden that Fort Bragg military base has recently been renamed Fort Liberty. “It’s an iconic name & base, & we’re not gonna let political correctness run amok in North Carolina." #GrandWizardofFL #DeathSantis #RepublicanRacism https://thewillisreport.com/ron-desantis-demands-us-military-honor-defender-of-slavery/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

A federal judge has ruled Florida’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors is likely unconstitutional and has issued an injunction halting enforcement of the ban.

More shenanigans. There's always more.

"There are no limits to the fees that landlords can charge as part of this alternative security deposit arrangement, so they could theoretically charge $25 per month, or they could charge $200 per month. “There’s no cap on the fees."

Agreed. Just when his remaining engineering backbone is set to shine. (or not) Not to mention #DeathSantis banking on this as his way to avoid showing off his people skills, introducing himself, and having a 100% fan club to cheer him on as he avoids human contact ... "Another smashing success" for the dynamic duo of "freedom" fighters. "Odd" couple - and situation - is an understatement, IMM.

I have to travel to Florida next year for my mother's memorial ceremony. She requested her ashes be incorporated into a reef ball that helps to rebuild dying coral reefs.

I am debating whether to be confrontational while there (e.g., wear provocative t-shirts) or whether to lie low.

We'll see what happens between now and next summer to help make up my mind.
