Everything that made it a purple state is being systematically dismantled.
Has he killed enough of his supporters yet to cover that .4%?
Everything that made the US democratic is being dismantled. Florida is just overachieving.
Against the most interesting and charismatic candidate Florida Democrats have ever had, in a blue wave election.
Democrats absolutely have the voters to be competitive down here, but the most boring candidates imaginable. Gillum was an anomaly, and I don't think he's going to run again.
I get that; what I mean is that "Trans people not only have the right to get a sex change, we should give it to them for free, funded by taxpayers" seems like it would have been seen as the kind of radical idea that even Democrats wouldn't be unanimously in favor of until extremely recently, if that.
My guess is Florida's existing Medicade regulations is if it's Doctor prescribed, it's covered unless outright blacklisted. They didn't think of putting it on the list when the regulations were originally enacted, probably because at the time trans issues weren't really on the radar for most voters. Now that Republican politicians are using it to sow fear into their followers said oversight must be corrected......
Ron DeSantis plotted an all-out assault on public universities
Records show Florida's governor drafted plans to strip autonomy from individual universities and colleges, centralize power in Tallahassee, and impose more restrictions on what students are taught.

Oh, apparently he's also retaliating against another corporate entity in his state, per an email newsletter I'm subscribed to:
DeSantis will probably resurrect these plans if he wins reelection. It hasn't exactly been a secret that he wants to do these things.
I accidentally came across this news, amongst serval links to right-wing comments about "thousands of customers leaving Disney+" due to it being "woke", which seems untrue.
It's amazing how Republicans can take so long to enact swift gun control laws and yet they can pass laws based upon a personal vendetta in a month or so:

Apologies if this has already been covered.

Gillum's humiliation continues.
DeSantis wants a statewide grand jury to look into illegal immigration cases, including any direct or indirect facilitation by individuals, organizations, or local governments. Florida's Supreme Court has now granted the request.
Tweet thread:
The worst part is I'm not sure this is even a downgrade from what our schools were already teaching.
My history classes were not great.

America seems to be a bit of a sh*t-tip, eh? I work at an Islamic school and although there are some similarities (no education about sex issues, etc), I doubt anyone would be behind the "faux slavery" (sic) BS that I just saw at that Twitter post...
However, even straight people can't display their photos of family or partners at schools, or even offices in Japan. I was told not to mention my girlfriend to my kindergarten/primary school pupils, even if it was just in passing. Such conversation is frowned upon in Japan.
