David Adler: “Evidence suggests that the Brasilia insurrection may have been planned in Florida. Secretary of Security for the Federal District is in the USA and recently traveled to Orlando — exactly where Jair Bolsonaro is currently staying. https://www.estadao.com.br/politica/coluna-do-estadao/secretario-de-seguranca-do-df-anderson-torres-esta-nos-eua/?utm_source=estadao:twitter&utm_medium=link&original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.estadao.com.br%2Fpolitica%2Fcoluna-do-estadao%2Fsecretario-de-seguranca-do-df-anderson-torres-esta-nos-eua%2F%3F #Bolsonaro #Bolsonaristas #Brasilia #Brazil #Florida #Extremism #Fascism #Fascismo

“Dunn was born in an orange grove barn in central #Florida… He & his family harvested crops at a time when the Sunshine State had some of the nation’s strictest Jim Crow segregation laws. Dunn lived that history up close; he remembers being forced to use the ‘colored’ beach & drinking fountain growing up.”Now the professor emeritus is defying #DeSantis —whose #StopWokeAct censors #BlackHistory in schools— by taking high school students on statewide #TeachTheTruth tours. https://wapo.st/3XOY5j0

@zleap @laureen1allen @georgetakei I agree. The media is literally touting DeSantis as a viable presidential candidate. Journalists seem oblivious that they themselves will be targeted if a fascist like DeSantis comes to power. The damage he’s done as Gov of FL is catastrophic. That’s what they should be talking about. He will do worse if he’s given the powers of the presidency. He & MAGA would deal a death blow to our democracy. No journalists needed after that. Only state media & propaganda.

The GOP-controlled House Oversight Committee “has disbanded the Subcommittee on #CivilRights and #CivilLiberties, which focused on #VotingRights, freedom of assembly and #CriminalJusticeReform policies….Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is urging the committee to reinstate the subcommittee, saying that the loss of it sends an ‘unmistakable message to the American people that their civil rights and civil liberties are no longer a priority to the 118th Congress.’” https://t.co/mZIqcQNaaG #Fascism

B/c it was not enough to silence her voice on the House floor, #Montana Republicans have banished Rep. #ZooeyZephyr from the state legislature for the rest of the session. She will not be permitted to represent her 11,000 constituents who elected her to speak for them. GOP lawmakers misgendered Zephyr & accused her of violating decorum by opposing their anti-trans bills & saying they would have “blood on their hands”. Protesters who supported her were arrested. This is what #fascism looks like.
