This Pharmacist Said Prisoners Wouldn’t Feel Pain During Lethal Injection. Then Some Shook and Gasped for Air.

A Florida pharmacist serves as an expert witness on behalf of states defending lethal injection protocols, often speaking about a drug that he has no authority to prescribe. His testimony has helped pave the way for executions across the country.

Dark gray clouds filled the sky at sunrise on this summer morning while a light fog hung in the damp air, both creating a moody atmosphere. The only color was the soft, pink glow on the horizon from the rising sun heralding the start of a new day.

A Florida school district just restricted access to a picture book about the life of Betty White

This is not a joke.

RT @FLFreedomRead

The picture book THAT’S BETTY: THE STORY OF BETTY WHITE was added to the restricted list in @ecpsfl today.

Challenged for being “content and age inappropriate” as outlined in HB1557!

(yes, it’s Vicki again)

More news from the DeSantis/Rufo takeover of Florida’s New College: the BOT starts denying legitimate tenure cases, while the new college president pushes a plan to attract “world-class faculty.” 🤔 The description of Rufo, attending remotely and hovering over the proceedings on a screen, is particularly symbolic of the totalitarian turn. Kudos to the professor and faculty chairperson who took the opportunity to resign from the college.

The trustees absorbed statement after statement from those worried and angry about the proposed reforms at the college. Perhaps the best-known trustee appointed by DeSantis, Christopher Rufo — who has called for conservatives to “lay siege to institutions” in order to rid them of left-wing activists — attended remotely and was visible on a projection screen behind the other board members. He hovered over the proceedings silently, except for voting “aye” in lockstep with his fellow DeSantis appointees.
After the five professors were denied tenure, the crowd erupted into chants of “shame on you.” Just before the meeting was adjourned, Matthew Lepinski, a board member, faculty chairman, and associate professor of computer science, unexpectedly announced his resignation from all of those positions. Lepinski has been at New College since 2015. “I’m very concerned about the direction that this board is going and the destabilization of the academic program,” he said. “So I wish you the best of luck, but this is my last board meeting. I’m leaving the college.” He then stood up and walked out of the room.

"Dozens of robed KKK gathered around a burning cross in a remote field in North Florida in 2014. After the cross lighting ceremony, three klansmen asked for a quiet aside with the group’s Grand Knighthawk, a klan hitman. The knighthawk was Joe Moore, a former Army sniper who’d joined the group and quickly risen through the ranks due to his military background. The men handed Moore a photograph of a Black man that they wanted killed."

Raw Story:
Republican lawyer: Disney has a 'strong case' to stop DeSantis' power grab

Disney is suing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) after his appointed board moved to void a contract preserving Disney's self-governing powers over the special taxing district for the Walt Disney World resort complex — a move the company alleges is political retaliation for its criticism of DeSantis' anti-LGBTQ legislation.

#DeSantis has lost his damn mind. #Disney brings huge revenue to the state coffers. What is he thinking?! Oh. Wait. 🤔🙄 #Florida #Insanity #GOP #Fascists #Stupid

“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has thought of a new way to harass Disney for opposing his “Don’t Say Gay” law — screwing with Disney World’s monorail train and gondola tram.”

We go live to Tallahassee, where Disney is conducting active negotiations with the Florida state government.

Once these negotiations conclude, Mickey will return to Valhalla to slumber and feed.

No democrats objected to this I don't think people understand that this bill militarize the police. I'm not for defunding the police but I won't support militarization of our police that's wrong and #RonDesantis is abusing our police to go after political enemies. #Florida

#Disney sued #Florida Gov. #RonDeSantis on Wednesday over the Republican's takeover of its theme park district, alleging the governor waged a "targeted campaign of government retaliation" after the company opposed a law critics call "Don't Say Gay."

The lawsuit was filed in Tallahassee minutes after a #DisneyWorld oversight board appointed by DeSantis voted to void empowering Disney to make design and construction decisions in its sprawling properties near Orlando.
