"The law authorizing secret recordings also mandated that faculty and students fill out an annual “intellectual freedom and viewpoint diversity” survey, just one of many new oversight tools DeSantis and his legislative allies have imposed. At the end of 2022, DeSantis ordered state higher education institutions to turn over descriptions of all classes and activities related to DEI and critical race theory, information on faculty teaching those topics or involved in those efforts, and an accounting of relevant funding. And in February, the Florida House’s GOP speaker joined the battle, demanding faculty involved in once state-mandated DEI groups hand over two years of related emails, text messages, and social media posts. The effort calls to mind a surveillance state, where snitching is encouraged, the government keeps enemies lists, and free speech is censored."

#DeFascist or #DictatorDeSantis ? in any evert I agree with this:

#DictatorDeSantis started his goosestepping campaign against democracy in FL by personally redrawing the FL voting districts & then the his judges let him! Be worried America, be very worried.

Lovely pic of #DictatorDeSantis realizing just what he is:

#DictatorDeSantis continues on in his #DemocracyCrushing campaign in FL as he tries to #BullyDisney, the state’s largest employer, who still proved more popular than him across multiple polls in the last year.

Holy Sh!t #DictatorDeSantis continues his death march through Florida's evaporating democracy. Not happy w/his nobody-wanted-it 6 wk abortion ban, he continues his bullying threats/actions against 1 FL company: Disney. Wake the f*ck up America! This guy should be scaring your sh!tless.

Woman of a Certain Age in FL wants to know:
Is "woke" #DictatorDeSantis way of saying "f*ck?" - just asking for the entire world.

Add the Idaho dystopian prison to this from #DictatorDeSantis & you will see how fast we are careening down that slippery slope: "In practice, DeSantis said, the board would also serve as a moral arbiter for a company that had lost its way."
Yup - he now believes his "powers" include being the "moral arbiter for a company."

In the Holy Sh!t Category we find #DictatorDeSantis saying this:
"On paper, the new board would supervise municipal services and development for the land around Disney World. In practice, DeSantis said, the board would also serve as a moral arbiter for a company that had lost its way." I am utterly gobsmacked he said this out loud & hasn't been roasted to a crisp!

What's next? Banning the dollar because it says "Federal Reserve Note?" This guy wants his own little banana republic. #CBDC #DictatorDesantis #Desantis

It’s obvious to me that the government of FL has, under #DeSantis, become a very unAmerican dictatorship. DeSantis doesn’t stand for American values, he wants to be a king - and a cruel and heartless one at that. Is #Disney just going to let him dictate what they can and cannot do? Are the rest of us going to do the same? Are we still going to support Florida? Is this the leader we want for…the #UnitedStates?

@flexghost

#DictatorDeSantis is turning Florida into his personal Fascist Kingdom in order to show how easy it is for States to be taken hostage. This should be a huge red flag to all those Freedom loving Don't Tread On Me crying GOP voters. DeSantis is absolutely treading all over your rights and freedoms.
