@tristansnell So true. #DeathSantis has architected Florida into what he hopes is the fascist-wannabe center of America. Wonder how long before tries to block Hulu from streaming “The 1619 Project” in Florida? He’s at least due to have a huge performative hissy-fit about it.

This probably closes the door on Trump as 2024 #MAGA Presidential candidate. I still think he’ll make a big ruckus, vying to secure blanket pardons, Federal and State. He will threaten and run independently for a pardon if he has to.Koch network to back alternative to Trump after sitting out recent primaries

@itnewsbot Still very wrong and gaslighting.

Bad news for America. And… You thought #birdsite couldn’t be any more of a poop pit? I would love to see the messages between #ElonMuck and #TuckerCackleson.

Classic result of fascist agitprop.“Target confirmed that it has moved its Pride merchandise from the front of the stores to the back in some Southern stores after confrontations and backlash from shoppers in those areas.”“Target and other retailers including Walmart and H&M have been expanding their LGBTQ+ displays to celebrate Pride month for roughly a decade. This year transgender issues have been a divisive topic in state legislatures and the backlash has turned hostile.”
