Check your AP History class before reading this article. Who makes these kinds of laws?A. Democracies B. FascistsAnyway, I will be starting a very unregistered blog about Ron DeSantis. Florida bill would require bloggers to register before writing about DeSantis |https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/3882068-florida-bill-would-require-bloggers-to-register-before-writing-about-desantis/

@TonyStark @Lowie Coming back to this because lets be honest... words? They want to fight in words? Interesting choice.I wonder if he is thinking they will track bloggers per account individually on systems like blogger/substack or do you think they are going to give up and only go after independently hosted sites?Clearly this is a bluster hoping to maybe scare off hosting sites? I can't see this as being well thought out. It wouldn't even be tricky to maliciously comply with such a thing.

@TonyStark ā¬ļø ā¬ļø ā¬ļø ā¬ļø ā¬ļø Itās really hard to imagine much more fascistic attempt at controlling free speech. I still think DeSantis has a glass jaw if he really needs all these controls to keep people from saying mean things about him.

@Tengrain @TonyStark Most dictators or wannabe dictators have incredibly fragile egos and thus the need to control dissent. That often devolves into ever diminishing circles of ātrustedā sycophants until they are either overthrown, discarded, or self-destruct. But not before they do tremendous harm and damage to a lot of innocent people. When is this hellacious fever going to break?

@KevinLikesMaps @JenX @TonyStark The short answer is you donāt let them, and you do this by participating no matter what.Republicans are notorious for following orders and getting in line and we need to, also.BUT: they also take the bat and ball and go home if they donāt get their way. WhenTFG told them that the election was rigged in GA, they stayed home and we got two Democratic senators.

@Tengrain @JenX @TonyStark Agreed we can't hope the crazy breaks.I've repeatedly said the internet (and before it Fox news) reward the crazy. Republican's rabid base wants red meat all the time, and for any Republican they can keep their JOB if they play to the base - they just can't keep a majority (notice the lack of a Red Wave, despite many advantages).Crazy is rewarded. It will get worse.

@DarryB @TonyStark @Tengrain @JenX No things in the country havenāt gotten worse. Theyāre not in charge of the federal government any more. The GOP suffered the worst mid term elector in decades. The fact that MAGA remain crazy and corrupt doesnāt mean that voting doesnāt matter. In fact it means voting (aka democracy) matters more than ever.

@DarryB @TonyStark @Tengrain @JenX One of the dangers of over exposing the extremist minority is that it gives people the idea they are totally winning. In some cases they are (Florida).But it ignores any news to the contrary. Even among left friendly outlets, thereās very little coverage of Dem wins & progress. Which = skewed perspective = demoralization.

@inklings @TonyStark @Tengrain @JenX I posted about Colonel Paris Davis an hour after the ceremony, but mine was one of just a few I saw here that day.Colonel Davis, a rare Black officer in Special Forces in 1965, says he won't dwell on racism being the possible / likely reason it took 58 years to get his #MedalOfHonor. His recommendation was "lost" twice.

@inklings @TonyStark @Tengrain @JenX IMO, it's not a "Democratic messaging" problem. I've been here for 2 weeks and have seen very few BIPOC @'s. Most in response to music posts. I know the fedi is much younger than my birdsite fam, but it's also a lot more white. In my experience.Colonel Davis' story was about his MOH, but also about racist reasons it took so long for him to receive his medal.

@Tengrain @DemocracySpot @inklings @JenX It can be hard to keep up with everything but I will say that if you boost other peopleās stuff, theyāll boost you back and that helps messaging. The people who hang around here do that very readily but itās a cooperative thing. The other half is that thereās a real contingent here who want to minimize veterans, which is quite unpleasant.

@TonyStark @Tengrain @inklings @JenX Yes about veterans. I've seen almost nothing. I read #MilitaryTimes and that's where I learned about Col Davis. I'm a military brat. My Dad was a USAF lifer (25 years). He died from Agent Orange-related heart failure. It's part of me and I'll post military-related stories. Not glorify weaponry, but the people who serve and vets.As for boosting, growingācan't boost what you don't see. Still learning my way around, but there *seems to be a divide.

@DarryB @Tengrain @JenX @TonyStark No, trump was voted out. However more Republicans won House seats, plus states elections etc.Really, it's an absurd statement.There's only one party trying to govern in a rational manner- The Democrats And some of the very top officials (Pelosi) of that party have openly stated that we need a rational Republican party. We don't want one party rule. We need opposition and healthy debate to make the challenging decisions involved in governing a whole frickin country.

@SideWalkAstronomyNetherlands That's popular when it's possible. Your population is: ~17,802,700The United Stats has ~333,287,557.Assuming that the population that would need to relocate was only our marginalized -- so to be clear we're talking:* Non-white* Non-straight* Non-republican* Non-specifically-Fascits-RepublicansSo let's assume that is less than the majority and call it 70%. That roughly translates to 233,301,289 people.Might I bring them to your country please? Can you alert your government that something around 18 times your entire countries population need food, clothing, lodging, support services (medical & religious mind you), we're also going to need to work on the language. Our population is primarily English, Hispanic, Italian, French - and I see you only cover French and English. We will bring enough translators from those four primary to our edge cases.I'm not trying to be rude - but I want you to fully understand what you're asking us to do when you say, "Just move" and how dismissive it is for a population that COULD just move. We could solve that exact problem. I don't think your country would appreciate that. I don't think anyone would. It's not a real solution.@MJ @TonyStark @NoctisEqui
