JERUSALEM (AP) Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Thursday shrugged off Disneys lawsuit against him as politically motivated, and said that it was time for the iconic company to stop enjoying favorable treatment in his state.

I remember when Florida only LOOKED like an undropped turd.

it is quite a strange tale for how Florida has swung a hard right, after being a battleground state for so long

I mean, Florida went to Obama in both 2008 and 2012, but I supposed that was the last straw for conservatives living in, and the ones moving to the state, and it has regressed heavily to what it is now

The Florida Board of Education has voted to expand restrictions on classroom instruction related to sexual orientation and gender identity.

"This amendment prohibits classroom instruction to students in pre-kindergarten through Grade 3 on sexual orientation or gender identity. For Grades 4 through 12, instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity is prohibited unless such instruction is either expressly required by state academic standards ... or is part of a reproductive health course or health lesson for which a students parent has the option to have his or her student not attend," according to the amendment.

they trotted out a former republican as their candidate to go up against desanits for governorship in 2022

that really tells you all you need to know about the florida democratic party

Of all things to get politicized, why this movie? Not everything has to be filtered through a partisan lens.

because it's from universal which is the opposite of disney's wokeness, in their eyes.

Wait. Werent they saying it was woke before it came out?

He has to give up the governorship to run fully, I believe.

At the very least he'd have to give up the governorship if he won the primary.

Florida is trying to change that to where he will be able to remain as Governor will running

Gen Z, please, for the love of all things good, show the fuck up in 2024

Republic***s are so terrified of you that theyre talking about trying to raise the voting age. Make that fear valid.

if gen Z are actually the ones to break the trend of young people not coming out to vote in order to combat these right wingers, I will be incredibly surprised but thankful

Another from New York said Disney has turned from a place of magic to a company that is grooming children to LGBTQ ideals.

Buddy trust me I feel the same way here. I am desensitized to this to the point I havent even read up on this news yet. Maybe Im just holding out hope that something is going to change eventually. Like the straw that breaks the camels back type of event. I thought it would happen to Uvalde last year but I was wrong. Ill probably be wrong about Nashville too

it is quite sad, but nothing changed after sandy hook so uvalde wasn't going to move the needle either

there will be no reform within our lifetime, but I would love to be proved wrong

So, here's my thoughts. With the passing of anti trans bills for kids and the most recent passing of drag shows in TN the extreme left has been waging an online war with the right. It is every where online. Since this is a Christian academy in TN my money is someone lost their shit and decided to go for something right wing related.

This crap is getting out of hand.

you love to see it

Wasn't supposed to make you laugh. Was supposed to make you realize that magical thinking doesn't save lives. I've seen plenty of times where some gumby cleetus thinks the reason this keeps happening isn't because of all the states with no background checks or red flag laws or adequate mental healthcare, it's because those schools won't teach THE BIBLE. Imagine being part of that community and some idiot goes "Well, your kids died because you won't let GOD IN". Christianity is mostly a panacea for human mortality. It's not gonna save your kids from gunfire.

this happend in a christian school
I wonder what their response will be

Again?

I know this was actually a semi-common occurrence before recently, but damn this is just begging for a whole top-down restructuring if we just have to expect this many train derailments as part of like, normal activity.

https://www.npr.org/2023/03/09/1161921856/there-are-about-3-u-s-train-derailments-per-day-they-arent-usually-major-disaste

In 2022, there were more than 1,000 train derailments in the U.S.

There were at least 1,164 train derailments across the country last year, according to data from the Federal Railroad Administration. That means the country is averaging roughly three derailments per day.

of course this gets more news focus now due to recency bias and what happened in Ohio

americans already act the same way for the world cup, but it's because soccer still hasn't become the big juggernaut sport in terms of popularity in the states that people have kept projecting since the world cup was hosted here the last time in 1994

for the WBC it's because they already have a "world series" so why should they care about this side competition

kowtowing to all his constituents in his state has made him delusional if he feels he can do that stuff on a national stage

have any republicans come out to publicly denounce this?

Gigantic waste of time that actually does nothing.

no, he gets to hold this over Disney as beating the woke or whatever and it will be huge for his presidential run

itachi15243 posted...

I though if this did happen, Disney was supposed to be owed something like 6+ billion dollars for all the wrok they put into everything or what not

this does nothing, it's all posturing

if the original bill went through as passed from last year, then yes all the debt would've been transferred, but this new reworked bill keeps the same debt in place with the current district and instead he will get to appoint 5 of his own lackeys to a board of "oversight"

https://news.yahoo.com/republican-house-oversight-committee-disbands-185929008.html

The Republican-controlled House Oversight and Accountability Committee has disbanded the Subcommittee on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, which focused on issues including voting rights, freedom of assembly and criminal justice reform policies.

But 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.

Its unclear why the subcommittee was removed, or if it will be reinstated at any point.

welp

to scare the Blue clean out of his state and grow / solidify his base and authority.

the second half has been happening since 2020, when he would hold press conferences every day telling everyone how free Florida was, conservatives started moving down in droves

it's how he won reelection for governor quite handily, well the democrats trotting out charlie crist didn't help their matters there, but still Florida has now become a stronghold for the right rather than a battleground state

Why stop there? Why not just resign from congress?

so he can continue grifting under the guise of working for the people that voted for him

they're willing to affect the livelihood of their children just to own the libs

there's a legit The Last of Us subreddit, that came out a while ago, where it's mostly supportive of the franchise.

also, there is The Last of Us Part II subreddit, which is full of detractors.

I assume that there's also a subreddit for the show, but I haven't checked to see.

the main TLOU subreddit, episode 3 live and post discussion threads, just take a peak and you'll see so many hidden or deleted messages

It was a great episode

laughing at all the bigots using their thinly veiled excuse of "b-b-but it should've been 1:1 with the game" and "it was never explicitly stated he was gay" which prevented them from seeing how well-written and directed of an episode this was

I'm skeptical about this now too, and the only reason I bit in the first place was that the tweet cited MSNBC.

A Congresswoman breaking a fellow Congresswoman's nose in a fistfight would be a pretty big fucking deal, enough so that CNN would've confirmed by now.

UnholyMudcrab posted...

They aren't, though. You can click the accounts to see that they haven't made any such tweets.

Bandit_Keith posted...

Neither of those places are actually claiming it. Look through their timelines.

This is just a random person tweeting BS.

yeah looking through her twitter thread, she thought this occurred today but it is referring to their previous argument

does AI finally know how to generate fingers?
that was their biggest knock I think

Bandit_Keith posted...

That was over a week ago. People in this topic are claiming this is a new fight. Which I'm not seeing anywhere.

only MSNBC and DeadlineWH are claiming it so far according to the tweet, so guess we have to wait for them to post it

It breaks my heart how evil you have to be to see tens of thousands of dead people in Florida alone, and continue to peddle your stupid conspiracy theories and disinformation.

it's funny cause they're all probably vaccinated but continue to pander to their base, just like all the Fox News anchors

we're seeing the results of mccarthy having to give in to her and others' demands to gain their votes..

what about the proud boys? or any other right wing group that has committed domestic terrorism?

probably everyone

the bad thing is that trumpers will spin this to say that he shouldn't be charged for anything cause everyone has classified documents, even though he was the only one to threaten national security with the documents he took
