Disney CEO asks: Does Florida want our tax dollars, or not? - The Kansas City Star https://apple.news/AzZtN8RelTxy1E7cDz6FH4Q I’ve been wondering…Why the media hasn’t covered FL’s other 200 special districts?…“The Villages is governed by the Village Center Community Development Dist.“If the goal is leveling the playing field, then a uniform application of the law of govrt oversight of special districts needs to occur & be applied to all special districts”- Bob Iger#disney #florida

Whose the ones influencing the court?They claim it’s picketers…boy…That’s rich (pun intended)!“The law in question prohibits the “picketing & parading” of federal judges & court facilities w/the intent of interfering or obstructing the administration of justice or w/the intent of influencing a judge.”#scotus #republicans #law

🤡 Was Implicated in a Vote Machine Theft. Why Isn’t DOJ Investigating? - Slate https://apple.news/A_4JYOjEYR-684daewTGDpA “…this multistate plot to copy & distribute elec software in order to interfere w/& discredit fed elec results would justify a fed invest into a potential conspiracy to defraud the US & other fed crimes. That this plot may have been carried out w/the former prez’s knowledge, @ his key advisors & allies’ dir., as part of a broader conspiracy…”

Biden Is Considering Selling Out #poor Americans to Get a #debtceiling Deal - Slate https://apple.news/AXHScoFVVSFmu-2ow3okvgw “The prez’s newfound openness to work requirement’s would mark a stunning retrenchment from a man who, just 2 yrs ago, signed into law the largest expan. of the welfare state in decades. & it’s kicked off a bitter showdown behind the McCarthy-Biden showdown—nesting showdowns, as it were—as House & Senate Dems have come out forcefully against the WH’s position on this.

NC lawmaker’s words…- News &Observer https://apple.news/A26hgNE3uTRSejfPOTpnZRQ “They don’t wear hoods. They are more likely to be caught praising Jesus than spouting racial epithets. In moments such as the 1 this past wk btwn McNeely &Jones on the House flr, they are even willing to sound humbled &apologize to a Black colleague they had demeaned w/a racial stereotype often deployed to put Black people back in their place. Not even Black men as accomplished as Jones can avoid such belittling.”

These laws read like they written by “Joseph Mengele”…Doc’s are accessory’s to “murder”.“It was dehumanizing. It was terrifying. It was horrible not to get the care to save your life,” she told The AP. “I felt like I was responsible to do something, to say something, to not have this happen again to another woman. It was bad enough to be so powerless.”#abortion #pregnancy #miscarriagehttps://www.propublica.org/article/two-hospitals-denied-abortion-miscarrying-patient-breaking-federal-law

“If his tenure in FL has been any preview, a De☠️Santis admin could be expected to use public funds to subsidize a hand-picked batch of ideologically aligned corp’s, all the while banning everyone from ordinary people on up through public officials from choosing how they get their electricity & heat, where they put their💰, what they can read, &the sorts of healthcare they can receive.”Basically…the folks suffering “climate catastrophe”….Completely FF-ED!In #desantis #florida that’s everyone.

You’d think #mlb would WANT to attract a larger audience?“Looking at the long-term attendance, the league has seen a drop in attend for the past 9 seasons dating back to the 2011-2012 season (2020 is excluded since there was no attendance due to COVID) leading to an overall 14% decline (Brown, 2022).”It’s adherence to an “outdated” idea of masculinity…Lacking modernityIn PED issues, technology, safety & gender.America’s Past-Time…MLB athletes “Christian Dogma” is outdated & unwelcome…

https://apple.news/AS81UrxBlTpy7VD9ZPsOyvw In regards to FL home insurance…“The more it costs to hire a contractor & buy wood, concrete & other materials, the more insurers have to pay to rebuild 🏠— & the more they charge in premiums to cover their costs.Other factors, like fraud & lawsuits, can also raise insurers’ costs. #florida leads the country in #insurance #lawsuits although the state passed a law this yr designed to make it harder for people to sue their insurance companies.”

“…this approach risks legitimizing a sweeping & lethal interp of the 2nd Amend during an epidemic of #gunviolence in America. Lib support for an expansive right to bear arms could entrench decisions like Bruen, contributing to their status as “settled” precedent that will be harder to overturn in the future. In 2023, though, progressive judges must take their wins wherever they can find them. Only they can decide whether the trade-offs are worth it.”https://apple.news/AwgtQcWZ-SOaV75Z_2xLohA

#Ukraine Ingenuity reminds of…how we used to be…Now we’re too lazy & divided.“It takes considerable training to fly kamikaze attacks rather than a regular #quadcopter but dive bombing takes it up another notch.”“The main drawback is that the pilot must possess superior piloting skills compared to operating a #kamikazedrone ”https://apple.news/AGUmc0gtDQ9yRd1MRejU39gLike #lukeskywalker at the end of #starwars “A New Hope”, 1977!The metaphor works for Ukraine against the #russian Empire.

Thoughtful, insightful…the cost of “#whitewashing of history”.“#art holds up a mirror to society, one that does not & ought not merely reflect back its most flattering aspects. Through honest engagement w/impure reality, we can perceive & also confront our deepest failings.”“#jamesbaldwin famously argued that…”not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” “Axiomatically, a #history of #racism that is not preserved cannot be faced.”

@thenewoil No matter how many good friends & family are in law enforcement…Even though, I am certain of their character…"It's so tempting to give benefit of the doubt to law enforcement, and that's why it's so hard for us to confront the reality: Maybe there are times they don't deserve that benefit."I’ve come to believe the above…

From Randi Weingarten, Prez of AFT (#teachers union)“People ban #books in this kind of way when they are afraid of #knowledge & when they are afraid of people #learning about each other & learning about differences…”“What they’re doing is they’re saying that 1 small group of people who want to turn back the clock to thwart knowledge are more important than the vast number of #parents who don’t want this to happen.”https://apple.news/AGkzINGDoQ5Gu5WHkdZ9TZg
