This started out as a joyous post about the start of Fall Semester, and devolved into pessimism and fear. Funny how that's happening in the current climate... #FLPolitics #CampusLife

Today's blog post is very personal. My fears and reflections on FL SB254, the bill that would allow the state of Florida to remove children from families with trans parents or siblings.

I've been trying to keep up with the craziness going on in Florida but it is so time consuming and many news sources are just not trustworthy. I found this overview that does a nice job of summarizing what DevilSantis is up to and how lack of diversity will affect the state over the long term.

I want to ask David if he supports Ron after he’s done a 180 on vaccines and covid protections. But Ron still hates trans people so I guess David will be ok with that. #USPol #USPolitics #FLPolitics

But then Deonna sits out the 2022 election, “helping” hand the republicans in the state a super majority that is now being used to erase trans people from public life. Speaking of trans folks, David left bc Democrats support trans people’s right to, you know, exist. #USPol #USPolitics #FLPolitics

Also that bill to abolish the Florida Democratic Party is pretty sloppily written. #FLpol #FLpolitics #USpol

If this was in The Onion you'd think it was funny.

WTF WTF WTF. Florida is such a trash fire right now. I hate it here. This is an actively dangerous state to live and work in. The nazis confronting jewish communities in south florida, anti-trans legislation, new anti-media legislation, attempts to circumvent sunshine laws, anti-DEIJ legislation, anti-library legislation. Everything I see is worse and worse. #FLPolitics #Florida

He's not getting any free press from me, but did you know that the evil Governor of Florida has a book coming out? The title is The Courage to be Free. 🤣🤣😂😂🤭🤣

IMHO, a DeSantis presidency would be even worse than another Trump term

Not even trying to be eloquent or PC:

RON DESANTIS IS EVIL

Nothing discussed in a work meeting should leave me crying and shaking in my office, afraid of what my government is going to do next to me and people like me. And yet...here we are.

Anyway. Trans folks in Florida are in real and present danger, on a variety of sides. Speak up about it if you can. This is not ok. #Library #FLpolitics

Taxpayer paid ($17 million) culture war lawsuits by Ron Desantis? Why? “Most people who go to court actually want to win. That is not DeSantis’ objective. He is all about winning the news cycle.” #FLPolitics #LilTrumpClone https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/desantis-culture-wars-grabbed-headlines-and-legal-challenges-that-cost-17-million/ar-AA15JGB2

Rubi Oh Oh

"Feds arrest ex-Florida Rep. David Rivera on charges connected to Venezuela"

The intriguing parts are Rivera's past relationship with Rubio and the unidentified Senator from Florida mentioned in the indictment:
